Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request thin slices
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count residents who need an alternative
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Plates rather than rolls suit many residents.
