Nutrition

We take a very active role in ensuring that all our residents are well nourished. Each resident is weighed each fortnight and their Body Mass Index is calculated.

Each month catering staff, care staff and trained staff have a formal meeting during which each resident is discussed and their nutritional needs reassessed.

Any resident who is found to be at nutritional risk would have an individual regime drawn up, adhered to and reviewed on a regular basis.

We encourage both residents and relatives to actively participate in both drawing up of Care Plans and their monthly review.

Each resident is allocated a member of staff as their Key Worker. This Key Worker will have a comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the resident’s needs and care and can be easily contactable to ensure excellent communication. At the present time Peter Osowski, our Deputy Manager is the Key Worker for all the residents and he should be the person to be contacted for any information.
