Meals are an important part of our resident services, and as well as being nutritionally balanced and freshly prepared from first class produce, the menus are varied, colourful and appealing. We aim to provide the widest variety of choice and our residents appreciate that their tastes and preferences are regularly considered in preparing the menus and shopping lists. Fresh food is used as preference wherever possible.

As part of the client care plan, the weight of each client is carefully monitored and recorded and the pattern of food intake watched closely. By considering the client’s height and weight, a record of BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) is recorded. Together with our observations on your general mobility and health, and together with regular checks to ensure the integrity of your skin condition, we record the results in accordance with the “WATERLOW SCALE”. The BMI and WATERLOW results give us a good guide to your progress and provide a means of triggering other care resources if they are now needed.
