Nutrition
Meals are planned around resident preferences, nutrition, hydration and individual requirements. Familiar food, flexible support and adaptations are important for people whose dementia can affect appetite, concentration or swallowing.
Food is part of health, comfort, culture and social life. We treat nutrition and hydration as individual rather than one-size-fits-all.

When you visit, ask how the team adapts this part of daily life for someone whose mobility, appetite, cognition or confidence changes. The strongest answer will usually be specific to the individual rather than a fixed house routine.
What to look for on a visit
- Choice and flexibility rather than rigid routines
- Spaces that feel lived-in, comfortable and accessible
- Staff who know residents’ preferences
- Evidence of family and community connection
- Clear support when needs or abilities change
