Loved by both residents of Half Acre House and their families.
I am allowed to help the staff with certain jobs which keeps me active and allows me to maintain some independence, and knowing I am helping others who can’t do as much as I can.
RESIDENT
I like that I get to choose what I wear, although my co-ordination isn’t always perfect and staff might make a suggestion about a different piece of clothing, but it’s always my choice what I wear.
RESIDENT
The home had a good local reputation and when we visited, we didn’t see the need to look at anywhere else.

Nutrition.
Providing a wholesome well balanced diet is important, our Catering team lead on obtaining feedback from our residents to develop menus with input from dieticians for residents who require their diet fortified.
Summer and Winter Menus available. Menu amended and displayed daily in the dining room.
Tasting days completed throughout the year and specific calendar events such as Malnutrition week, Nutrition and hydration week always celebrated.
Due to our home having one kitchen area, allergen requirements would need assessing before every admission to ensure a safe delivery of all food and drink.
Delivering exceptional care.
