Ian Stone, chief commercial officer at Wiltshire Farm Foods, said: “Catering for diverse dietary needs across a care home is incredibly complex. Mealtimes is a central part of a residents day and restoring enjoyment to food and helping residents dine with dignity is vital.
“We know that some homes find it hard to achieve the right levels of nutrition to meet personalised resident pathways, whilst ensuring these sit within budgetary constraints. And with labour costs still rocketing, it can be a difficult process to manage effectively and to a budget.
“Here’s a solution for care homes, which guarantees safety in every bite and delivers a meal quality which homes would find very difficult to replicate. And it’s a solution that is backed up by Wiltshire Farm Foods’ famous service values – no contractual requirement and free delivery.”
