At Deeside Care Home, we recognise the importance in the overall eating experience.
The food we put into our body has a far greater impact on our health as we become older, and we understand that positive mealtime experiences lead to great overall effects on our wellness.
It is important to us that we let our residents choose how they want to spend their mealtimes, to allow them to dine with dignity and maintain their freedom.
We place a high emphasis on our mealtimes at Deeside because they provide the ideal chance to gather with loved ones and fellow residents, to share a delicious meal and many great memories. We offer plated meal options, and in cases where individual assistance is needed, a member of our staff will gladly sit with residents and assist them in eating at their own speed.
At Deeside, we try to promote the social benefits of group dining and encourage all of our residents to enjoy their meals together. We also welcome the opportunity to invite the relatives and friends of our residents to come spend mealtimes here with us. It has been known to us that many of our residents associate mealtimes with family traditions such as arranging the dining table and prepping ingredients, and we are more than happy for residents to continue with these routines and get involved if they wish.
It is essential to us at Deeside, that we devote such close attention to the eating experience of our residents who live with dementia. To improve the dining experiences of our dementia residents, we ensure their mealtimes are taken in a calm, clutter-free environment, where the tablecloths are plain colours to help avoid confusion.
We also have access to specialised tableware which has been designed to help our residents who struggle with their fine motor skills, to eat and enjoy their meals independently.
To ensure residents have the best stay possible, our care home has been carefully designed to provide many all-inclusive facilities and services to support residents in living a full life.
Our on-site chef and kitchen staff are committed to their role of serving nutritious and tasty meals to our residents. They work closely with our residents to understand their preferences so that they can prepare delicious meals that everyone enjoys.
Residents can choose from a number of dining spots including in our communal dining room, private dining room, personal bedrooms, and if the weather allows, outside in our garden.
Residents choose what they eat from a seasonal and varied menu. In some circumstances, residents can chat with our kitchen staff to see what alternatives they can offer them. Our kitchen team will be pleased to discuss any special dietary requirements or meal amendments with residents.
At our care home in Aberdeen, we are proud to offer a diverse range of care services for different care needs. Each of our residents deserves to receive the highest standard of care, while also having the chance to pursue their hobbies and passions as well as make new friendships.
