Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
