SHELBURNE Lodge care home in High Wycombe celebrated Nutrition and Hydration Week with lots of yummy, wholesome food, thirst quenching beverages and some interesting activities along the way.
Nutrition and Hydration Week aims to highlight, promote and celebrate improvements in the provision of nutrition and hydration locally, nationally and globally.
Staff and residents at Shelburne Lodge devised an exciting, challenging and fun week of activities and competitions, with everything from healthy fruit-based cocktail making and afternoon tea prepared by the staff and residents to say thank you to the hard-working chefs.
General manager Diana Nica said: “Our chefs are trained to prepare dishes our residents’ specific dietary requirements as well as all their likes and dislikes. In addition to being trained in how to cook delicious and well prepared food, the chefs are trained in nutritional balance and special diets.
“They put a lot of time and effort into menu planning and so we all wanted to say thank you to them during Nutrition and Hydration Week.”
