Our chefs create delicious and varied daily menus using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients. Afternoon teas, celebratory dinners, homemade birthday cakes, monthly pizza nights, and the occasional fish and chip supper, all add to the pleasure of eating well together. Sue has been chef at Offington for over 15 years, her favourite meals are cooking for special occasions like our monthly filet steak night. She was recently presented with a gift from all the residents after cooking a fantastic Christmas meal… which had her in sobs of tears. |

Activities
| Activities Are So Important |

Each Kindred Care home has a monthly calendar of events, activities and celebrations; gardening club, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, quizzes and trips out to the theatre, for walks and to areas of local interest. Family, friends and pets are invited to join in whenever possible. Each home is set in beautiful gardens and we help residents to get out to enjoy the changing seasons and fresh air. We work with wellness experts Oomph (Our Organisation Makes People Happy) to train staff as ‘activity champions’ who deliver stimulating, fun, physical activities and new experiences for residents. We have regular visits from our much-loved hairdresser and chiropodist and our staff have specialist care training in exercises for the elderly as well as therapies such as massage. |
