At Caring Homes, we have always prided ourselves on the food offering we provide to residents living in our homes, focusing on high quality, nutritional and enjoyable meals. Our Group Head Chef, Steve and Head of Hospitality, Ben are always looking to continually improve this and make our residents experience of food in our care homes delicious and memorable. Over the last few months, they have come up with some new various initiatives.

One of them is a delicious new initiative that brings fresh, seasonal produce to the heart of our residents’ dining experience! 💚

Each month, we’ll be spotlighting a Seasonal Food Hero, one fruit and one vegetable, that’s at its best that time of year. Our brilliant chefs will be creating tasty new dishes each week featuring these ingredients, giving our residents even more variety, flavour and nutrition in their meals. 🍽️

Not only is this great for our residents’ health and wellbeing, but it also brings a bit of fun and creativity into our kitchens. Using British-grown produce at its seasonal peak means better quality and more sustainable meals too! But we get the residents involved too! Residents have been busy foraging for wild berries local to their home!

Keep an eye out for the delicious dishes our homes will be serving up every week and give a cheer for our amazing kitchen teams! 👨‍🍳👩‍🍳

Check out some of the dishes being created already - yum...
🍓Strawberry Tarts
🥗Asparagus is drizzled with a balsamic glaze and asparagus wrapped in parma ham
🍓Strawberry Cheesecake
🥗 Poached egg & bacon tartlet with asparagus and hollandaise

An afternoon of laughter and friendly competition!

Residents, relatives, and staff gathered for a lively round of the infamous game of Tiddlywinks! Giggles echoed through the room as memories of past were shared, adding a nostalgic sparkle to the day. The thrill of the game brought out everyone's playful side and competitive spirit.

Moments like these remind us how special it is to come together, connect, and create new memories.
