Resident’s birthdays are also always celebrated. We make a homemade birthday cake and welcome family and friends to join for a coffee or lunch to celebrate this important day together. Christmas party every year for the residents and family Residents are also encouraged to take active roles in garden by planting pots and light weeding and maintenance if they wish.
Nicky, our Catering and Residents Services Officer, has been in the catering industry all her working life. She really has a passion for cooking and always uses fresh products which are in season. Fresh homemade cakes are made daily, which are loved by the residents.
Personal dietary requirements are always considered and catered for. All catering staff have been trained on allergens and can provide full details about any allergens used in the recipes. We also like to take suggestions from the residents to make sure all those favourites are on the menu.
