NUTRITION AND HYDRATION WEEK

AS PART OF NUTRITION AND HYDRATION WEEK, DIETICIANS CLARE AND LAURA, WHO WE WORK CLOSELY WITH HERE AT ASHFIELD HOUSE, VISITED TO PROVIDE FURTHER TRAINING FOR THE STAFF ON THE IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION AND HYDRATION. FOOD IS ALWAYS A FIRST AND WE WORK CLOSELY WITH APETITO TO ENSURE YOUR LOVED ONES HAVE NUTRITIONALLY BALANCED MEALS WHICH ARE ALSO FORTIFIED AND ENJOYABLE WHILST PROVIDING A RANGE OF CHOICE. STAFF WERE ABLE TO SAMPLE SUPPLEMENTS WHICH ARE USED IN CARE HOMES AND THE COMMUNITY SO WE KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE SO WE CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN THEY ARE SOMETIMES NOT ACCEPTED BY RESIDENTS. CLARE AND LAURA PROVIDED US WITH RECIPE IDEAS AS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY OF USING THE SUPPLEMENTS AND BROUGHT SOME CAKES, PUDDINGS AND SCONES AND CLOTTED CREAM WHICH WAS ALL VERY YUMMY! THANK YOU CLARE AND LAURA FOR A VERY YUMMY INFORMATIVE AFTERNOON.
