Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Request thin slices
- Count families and staff too
- Modified diets should come from the home’s kitchen
We keep the cooking area away from residents’ windows and paths.
Serving on plates is often easier.
