Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered
- Ask the kitchen to prepare texture-modified portions
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Count residents who need an alternative
We set up under cover in the grounds, following the home’s procedures.
Rotisserie chicken is an alternative to pork.
