Locally Sourced Fresh Produce Served in Congenial Environment
All resident’s dietary needs are catered for in St. Joseph's Nursing Home. All the food is cooked in house in our large, purpose-built kitchen. Options are given for every meal, and the menus are planned with input from the residents and their relatives, and a choice of meals is always available.
Mealtimes are a relaxed and leisurely affair to ensure residents gain full enjoyment from their food.
Our chefs liaise with our activities co-ordinator to plan celebratory meals when the food is appropriately themed, and the tables dressed for the occasion. These celebrations are much appreciated by the residents.
Residents can also have small fridges in their bedrooms, where they can keep snacks and drinks. Nurses and Care assistants are always on hand if a Resident requires assistance with maintaining their dietary needs. We have a dietician service, which will provide assessment and information to residents who require it. Residents can eat in our large spacious dining room, or if they prefer, they can have their meals in their bedrooms.
All our food is sourced locally. We have always believed in supporting the local economy where possible, and to give our residents the very best.
