Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Request gluten-free rolls
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
Carers can help residents choose and carry plates, while we serve.
Serving on plates is frequently easier.
