Dining

Here at Caraway House Care Home, we understand the importance of living a happy and healthy life. We have in-house chefs who take great delight in providing varied home-cooked meals featuring some of our residents’ favourite dishes. Our residents’ preferences and best interests are always at the forefront of everything we do at our care home in Selsey, so they have complete freedom on where they want to enjoy their meals, whether it is in our dedicated dining room, their bedroom or one of our comfortable dining rooms.

Food has such a strong impact on our health as we age, and we recognise that eating a decent meal has a big impact on our overall health and well-being. When our residents are ready to move in, our chefs will take the time to meet with residents and create a tailored nutritional passport with all of their dietary needs and preferences. Therefore, friends and family members can be rest assured knowing that residents are having a wonderful time and eating amazing food every day in their home away from home.

Mealtimes Made With You in Mind

Here at Caraway House Care Home, meal times are important, they allow us to spend quality time with our residents, alongside allowing them to also spend time and establish strong ties with other residents. We understand the social benefits of sharing meal times with others, encouraging all of our residents to do so whenever possible. Alongside offering room service for our residents who want to eat in their own room, we also offer having one of our members of staff come and sit with a resident, assisting them in eating at their own pace if they require any special assistance – we’re always there to help our residents during any situation.

Residents’ friends, family members and other loved ones are also welcome to join us for meal times, either by sitting with us in our communal dining rooms, in one of our private dining rooms, or in the garden during the warmer months. Meal times can be one of the most enjoyable times for a family and we want to ensure that all residents here at Caraway House Care Home can continue to appreciate that experience.

Dining With Dementia

We also pay special attention to detail in order to provide a quiet and enjoyable eating experience for our dementia residents, making sure that all meals are served in a clutter-free environment, alleviating our residents’ frustrations and tensions connected with dementia. Our team also tailor our menu to ensure all of our residents can keep enjoying the traditional meals they remember and love, such as fish and chips on a Friday and roast dinners on a Sunday, as well as nutritional snacks for those who prefer to graze.

We also have specialised tableware which benefits our dementia residents as it helps them preserve their fine motor skills, allowing them to be able to eat and enjoy their meals as independently as possible at our Selsey care home.
