Dining

We understand the importance of our resident’s dining experience. A good dining experience and well-balanced nutrition can help significantly to promote, preserve and enhance the health and well-being of older and vulnerable people. It is specially important for those living with Dementia Nursing, Complex Dementia (CBDU) Acquired Brain Injury (ABI ) and Mental Health (MH).

All of our residents enjoy regular; nourishing meals made from premium quality produce, prepared in our own kitchens under the supervision of our dedicated Head Chef. A wide choice of dishes is offered at each mealtime, and menus can be perused in advance so that residents can choose their preferred dishes before dining. Our Head Chef is also on hand to cater for special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.

Meals are served in our bistro style dining rooms, but if preferred, can be served in resident’s rooms or other parts of the home. Family members are welcome to dine should they wish to do so (there is a nominal charge per head, and we do ask for a minimum of 24 hours’ notice). If you’d like to try a sample beforehand, please do not hesitate to ask.

We have a relaxed (but common-sense) attitude to alcohol. Therefore, if you and your loved one enjoy a meal-time tipple, you can bring your own, or if you prefer, we can supply wine/beer on request (cost applicable). Tea and coffee are available at all times.

  • I’m just blown away to be honest with you. I’ve never seen a place like it in my life. It looks good from the outside even. When you come inside it’s like walking in heaven and that’s where I’ll be when I come here.

  • It’s good really, like a first class hotel for me, that’s my thoughts.

  • There’s space for people to sit around and have their own time. Absolutely stunning.

  • I’ve never seen anything like it.

  • This is an outstanding care home with friendly and approachable staff. On a first impression it reminds me of a five star hotel. My grandma settled in from day one!

  • Its amazing, so much thought has gone into this.

  • Lovely, just like a five star hotel.

  • Yes this home is like a 5* Hotel and the care is also 5*, my mum was in here for respite and the care she received was wonderful.

  • Yes. I could live here quite happily. Yes. I’m 76 years old and my husband is 82. We don’t live very far away so it would be like a real home from home.

  • This is the most beautiful home with the most caring staff, and excellent management. This should be the blue print for all care homes and I feel so lucky to have found it.

  • My husband was in for respite, it was relief to leave him somewhere so safe.
