Food & Nutrition

At Westgate Healthcare, we understand the importance of nutrition and dining for our residents’ health and wellbeing. That’s why we offer a diverse range of delicious, home-cooked meals that are tailored to meet the individual needs and preferences of each resident.

Our expert culinary team creates menus bespoke to each of our homes, that are not only nutritious and well-balanced but also appetising, flavourful. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients and follow best practices for food safety and hygiene to ensure the highest standards of quality.

Dining

In addition to providing excellent nutrition, we also place a strong emphasis on creating a welcoming and social dining experience for our residents. Our dining areas are designed to promote social interaction and encourage residents to connect with each other over meals.

In addition to our exceptional dining experience, we also offer private dining rooms for our residents to enjoy special occasions with family and friend or when a quieter, more intimate dining experience is required. Our private dining rooms are perfect for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, or any other special occasion with friends and family

 

Nutrition

   

One of our top priorities is ensuring that our residents receive balanced and nutritious meals that cater to their unique dietary needs. We understand that each person has individual nutritional requirements, and that’s why we create personalized nutrition plans for every resident in our care.

We believe that both macro and micro nutrition are crucial for maintaining good health, which is why our meals are carefully curated to provide a balanced combination of both. From proteins and carbohydrates to vitamins and minerals, we make sure that our residents receive all the nutrients they need to thrive.

Our team of experienced chefs work closely together with our care teams to ensure that our meals are not only nutritious but also delicious. We use fresh and locally sourced ingredients to create a variety of healthy and flavourful dishes that cater to different tastes and dietary requirements.

Choice

We understand that everyone has different tastes and dietary preferences and that food is a very personal, which is why we offer multiple menu choices to ensure that every resident finds something they love.

Our menus are designed with resident feedback in mind. We actively seek input from our residents, taking their preferences, cultural backgrounds, and dietary restrictions into consideration. This collaborative approach ensures that our menus are diverse, exciting, and reflective of the individual tastes of our residents.

We also understand that sometimes our residents may have specific cravings or ad hoc requests. Whether it’s a favourite family recipe or a special occasion celebration, our dedicated culinary team is always ready to accommodate these requests. We believe in going the extra mile to make our residents feel valued and cared for, and that includes catering to their individual needs and desires.

   

At Westgate Healthcare, we believe that every resident deserves to feel at home and taken care of. That’s why our nutrition and dining experience is designed to provide not only nourishing meals but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Come and see for yourself what sets us apart and how we can support you or your loved one’s health and wellbeing.

Since my cousin has resided at Kingfisher Nursing Home some one and a half years ago, things have greatly improved after a rocky few months. After several managers leaving after a short time, we have finally acquired a fantastic manager who has given the home stability and continuity of care, which was needed. Also, staff seem more permanent. The owners have taken on residents/relatives comments regarding updating of decor and furnishings which are gradually being addressed. Cousin of Kingfisher resident
