Food
The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences.
Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake for residents, friends and family to enjoy.
Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.

Home Manager
I am a Registered Nurse of many years. I owned and managed my own Care Home for 25 years as a family business. I have been a Board Member of the National care Homes Association and was Chairman of the Gloucester Care Providers Association for many years.
I am passionate about caring for the older people in our community and ensuring that they have the support to live their lives as they wish.
Managing a Care Home is a big responsibility but it’s privilege to have that responsibility and one that I enjoy relish. Coming to work is a pleasure everyday to see the people who live in our home well cared for and to support staff in developing their skills to deliver that care.
We all learn every day.
I am a dog person with a fondness for Boxers. I love travel and have a rather long bucket list.
