Dining

Highwood Care Home is all about giving our residents a lifestyle they deserve, alongside a caring and supportive environment, which is why we know how important it is that our residents have a wonderful dining experience. The food we put into our bodies has a great impact, especially as we get older and we appreciate a good mealtime experience has a huge impact on our overall health.

A strong sense of dignity and independence is important to us and where it is that you’d like to enjoy your meals, either in your own room or one of our dining areas, it will always be your choice and be within your best interests.

Dining at Highwood Care Home is Better Together

Mealtimes are important to us here at Highwood Care Home because they provide us with the perfect opportunity to gather with our residents, helping them establish strong connections with their loved ones and other residents; there is nothing better than having a delicious meal whilst making wonderful memories. We also provide meal alternatives and if a resident would like some special assistance, a member of our staff will happily sit with them, help and eat at their own pace. We always try and promote the social benefits of group eating and encourage as many of our residents to eat together as much as possible. However, we do offer room service for those who prefer to eat within the tranquility of their own room. Additionally, if any residents’ friends, family members or loved ones would like to join us for dinner, then they are more than welcome to. We’re lucky enough to have a number of areas where our residents can eat, drink and relax.

We also have access to specialised tableware which is designed to assist our residents with fine motor skills, meaning they can continue to enjoy eating independently.
