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.

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 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. The Home has regular visits from the Church, Aromatherapist, Physiotherapist, Reflexologist, Alternative Therapist (at a cost) Hairdresser and Chiropodist. Special requirements are catered for. A detailed activities programme including alternative therapies is published on a monthly basis.
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.
