Our menu, which is designed to be wholesome, nutritious and appetising, runs over a four-week period with very few items being repeated. Every day there are two choices for the main meal, which is served at lunchtime. With prior warning our chef can prepare an alternative selection should neither of the prepared choices be acceptable. This principle also applies to breakfast and supper.

We can also cater for special needs e.g. diabetic diets, and should the need arise we can supply puréed meals, the contents of which are presented as individual constituents. The home employs two chefs, one of whom will personally discuss with you your dietary needs and preferences and you will be offered a choice of dishes for each mealtime from our varied menu.

Example Menu
At this Home we seek to accommodate the wishes of those residents who are able to attend services outside the home. The Home has a comprehensive policy appertaining to religious and cultural beliefs. Arrangements are also made, wherever possible, for visiting clergy to attend the Home to ensure that those who can no longer attend at their normal place of worship can continue to follow their faith.
The home is an integral part of the area and local people are encouraged to participate and contribute to the activities of the home. In reverse residents are encouraged to pursue their interests within this community.
A detailed activities programme including alternative therapies is displayed within the home and is provided for every resident in their room
Residents are encouraged to pursue their interests within the Home. An activities programme is displayed in the entrance of the home and within every resident room.

We promote therapeutic techniques through the following:

Staff are encouraged to take residents for short walks
Staff give Residents manicures and feet massages once a week
Senior Staff encourage Residents to take place in dance and movement to music once a week.
 
The Home has an "open visiting policy". This means it is possible to visit residents at any time of the day or night. It is advisable however to check with the person in charge, prior to arranging an out-of hours visit, that the resident is awake and prepared to receive visitors.
