Food & Nutrition

Our team of chefs prepare a variety of delicious and nutritious home cooked meals. Ingredients come from local suppliers and meals are freshly prepared daily. All special diets can be accommodated and one of our chefs meets with every new resident in order to understand their likes, dislikes and dietary requirements. We have recently introduced a new varied menu which we hope will appeal to everyone. Our chefs are inspired by residents' feedback which is collected every day. There’s alternative menu choices at every mealtime if you want something different and snacks can be ordered throughout the day and night.

For residents who have difficulties in swallowing we modify the menu so that is it a soft and palatable. To support our chefs in producing these dishes, we provide accredited training about dysphagia. The chefs prepare fork-mashable and thick puree meals to the correct consistency, taste and presentation. The Registered Nurses will ensure all modified menus are prepared and served in line with our personalised diet and nutrition assessment and care plans.

All our food is prepared in a safe, hygienic environment. The Beeches is proud to maintain and display our Food Agency 5 Star food hygiene rating.
