Dining

Our resident chefs at Sandmere Care Home take pride in preparing home-cooked meals that offer a variety, including residents’ favourite dishes. Whether served privately in residents’ rooms or enjoyed socially in our dining areas, we prioritise residents’ preferences and best interests in every aspect of care we provide.

Recognising the impact of nutrition on overall health, we emphasise the importance of a nutritious dining experience, especially as we age. Our shared dining space, designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, allows residents to enjoy delightful meals every day. Friends and family can be assured that their loved ones are partaking in a fulfilling dining experience at Sandmere Care Home.

Mealtimes Tailored For You

From the warmth of a Sunday roast to the nostalgia of fish and chips on a Friday, our meals are about bringing comfort, flavour, and a sense of home to the table. Our seasonal menus rotate every three weeks and include a daily cooked breakfast, a hearty lunch as the main meal of the day, and freshly baked cakes served each afternoon.

Mealtimes can be enjoyed wherever suits best; in the dining room, out on the balcony, in our café, the garden or even in the privacy of a resident’s bedroom. Snack stations are always stocked with a variety of options like fruit, soup and sandwiches, and our hydration points offer everything from squash and juice to alcohol. Whether it’s afternoon tea on request or a special private dining experience with loved ones, every meal is tailored for enjoyment and choice.

Dining Tailored for Dementia

For those living with dementia, we go the extra step to create calm, clutter-free spaces that make mealtimes relaxing and accessible. Our specialised tableware helps support fine motor skills, and our team is always on hand to provide gentle, respectful assistance when needed. The goal is to ensure every resident feels confident and comfortable while dining.

Residents are welcome to dine wherever they feel most at ease, with the same quality of service provided throughout. We understand that food is deeply personal, which is why our chefs meet new residents to learn their likes and needs, including any dietary requirements or texture preferences. We adapt everything with care, so everyone can enjoy the food they love in a way that suits them best.

Personalised Moments, Every Day

At Sandmere, we take great pride in making each resident feel celebrated. Whether it’s baking a cake in their favourite flavour or preparing a special birthday dinner on request, we make a point of turning everyday dining into something joyful and memorable. Afternoon teas can be arranged whenever residents fancy a treat, and themed food days bring a fun twist to the week.

Every two months, residents can give direct feedback in our dining meetings, and we listen. From private dining experiences for special occasions to chef-led introductions when someone first joins us, our kitchen team is involved every step of the way. Great food, good company and a beautifully designed dining setting are all part of what makes our mealtimes so special.
