The three-year deals will see WhiteOaks deliver soft facilities management services including catering, cleaning and laundry services to two of the Trust’s care homes.
Under a new contract with The Orchards Crewkerne, a 46 bed care home, WhiteOaks will provide these services from August 2012. A second contract will commence at Signature House in Dorchester, a new development opening in September 2012. The state-of-the-art care home comprises 48 beds and 42 close care apartments with communal facilities.
Andy Webb, business director for WhiteOaks, said: “We are extremely pleased to win these contracts with Somerset Redstone Trust. Our team of nutritional experts are constantly working with residents and clients to adapt our menus to the changing needs of the residents.
"We are proud of the balanced menus we offer, providing a “home from home”, whilst ensuring mealtimes are an event in the Home. We look forward to doing this at The Orchards and Signature House.”
