Proposed finish concept

Meals are where a care home either takes an interest in someone or does not. Ours run on a fourteen-day rotating menu reviewed by a consulting registered dietitian, with three meals and two snacks every day.

From the fourteen-day cycle A sample Monday

Breakfast 7:30 – 9:00: Scrambled eggs, whole wheat toast with butter, sliced tomato, orange juice, coffee or tea
Morning snack 10:30: Apple slices with peanut butter
Lunch 12:00 – 1:00: Grilled chicken breast, mashed sweet potatoes, steamed broccoli, dinner roll, fruit cup, iced tea
Afternoon snack 3:00: Yogurt with granola
Dinner 5:30 – 7:00: Baked salmon with lemon and dill, brown rice pilaf, green beans almondine, garden salad, apple crisp
Evening snack 8:00: Graham crackers and milk

Reviewed by a consulting registered dietitian. Substitutions at any meal; an equivalent is always offered.

How it works

The parts that matter to a family

Nutrition is where decline is most often noticed first, and where a small kitchen has a real advantage over a catering contract.

Three meals plus two snacks daily — breakfast 7:30–9:00, lunch 12:00–1:00, dinner 5:30–7:00, snacks at 10:30 and 3:00 and an optional one at 8:00
Roughly 1,800–2,200 calories a day, adjusted per resident
Served plates with table linens, not a buffet line — and assistance for anyone who needs help eating
A high-protein option at every meal, to protect muscle and skin integrity
Therapeutic diets accommodated as standard — diabetic, low-sodium, soft, pureed and gluten-free
Cultural and religious food preferences honoured, not treated as a special request
Substitutions available at any meal; hydration available all day

Food questions are fair questions.

Ask about the way your parent actually eats. Preferences travel with them.
