Dining

Here at Amberley Care Home in Manchester, we understand the importance of living a fulfilled life and the role an enjoyable dining experience plays. Our in-house chefs take great pride in serving home-cooked meals where variety and particular favourite dishes are always on offer. Meals can be enjoyed independently in residents’ rooms, socially in one of our dining areas or with loved ones in our private dining room. Their preferences and best interests will always remain at the heart of every aspect of care we deliver.

At Amberley, we know how much a good meal can brighten the day. Whether it’s a full cooked breakfast, a shared lunch with other residents, or a fresh slice of homemade cake with a cup of tea, dining is part of what makes life here feel comforting and luxurious. That’s why we work closely with our residents to make sure every mealtime is enjoyable, relaxed and shaped around what they like best.

Mealtimes Made For You

Mealtimes are extremely important to us at our care home in Manchester as they provide us with the perfect time to gather with our residents and establish connections with their loved ones and like-minded individuals. Our residents’ feedback is extremely important to us, so our head chef sits down with a small group each week to hear their thoughts and suggestions, and we also hold a wider dining meeting every quarter to receive feedback.

Residents can enjoy classic favourites throughout the week, with fish and chips served on a Friday and a roast dinner every Sunday, with regular meat changes. Themed days also feature in our dining calendar, adding a touch of fun and variety to the usual mealtime routine.

We understand the social benefits of group eating and encourage all of our residents to eat together as much as possible. However, we also offer room service for those who prefer to eat in the tranquillity of their own rooms. If residents require special assistance, a member of our staff will happily sit with them and help them eat at their own pace; we are more than happy to assist our residents in any way we can.

Dining with Dementia

We understand that not everyone wants to sit down for three big meals a day, especially those living with dementia. That’s why we take a flexible approach to dining. Finger foods are offered to residents who prefer to eat while moving around, and snacks and hydration stations are offered in small, manageable portions throughout the day for easy access. Our tea trolley comes around mid-morning and mid-afternoon, offering sweet and savoury bakes, fresh fruit, and juice, with carton juice being a particular favourite among our residents.

Attention to detail is key in providing peaceful and enjoyable eating experiences for our dementia residents; ensuring meals are served in a clutter-free atmosphere and adapted tableware is available to assist and enable them to be able to continue enjoying their meals as independently as possible.
