In partnership with Oak House Kitchen, specialists in catering consultancy and training in the healthcare sector, Avery Healthcare head and sous chefs took part in mandatory online training courses.
The training is designed to educate chefs on adapting meals for specialised diets, including those with dysphagia. Avery Healthcare has a current portfolio of 56 care homes nationwide, with more new developments in build.
Simon Lawrence, Avery's head of culinary and hospitality, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to work with sector-leading experts as we adapt our training to online modules with live feedback, ultimately benefitting our staff with in-depth training."
These meal solutions benefit residents by providing a more inclusive mealtime experience that improves their overall well-being and experience whilst residing at Avery care homes.
