Food and Nutrition

Food and Nutrition

Mealtimes represent an important social occasion and we work to ensure they are as enjoyable as possible, unhurried and relaxed with everyone given plenty of time to eat and enjoy their meal, while chatting and socialising with other residents.

We make a point of celebrating birthdays and special occasions, as well as celebrating and dressing up for national festivities such as St Andrew’s Day, Mother’s Day and Burns Night

Our chefs prepare nutritious and delicious meals, which are freshly made on site. We also support people who have specialist diets.
