THE National Association of Care Catering Executive Board visited a new luxury care home for an immersive experience lasting a full 24 hours.
The visit was to gain insight into a day in the life of a resident, and included three meals and snacks, wellbeing activities and an overnight stay in the.
Arkall Manor in Tamworth is the latest to open its doors in the Danforth Care Homes portfolio. Prior to receiving its CQC clearance, the team were keen to demonstrate the facilities that their residents will soon be enjoying.
This created a perfect opportunity for the NACC Executive Board to convene and enjoy a full 24-hour familiarity tour, whilst having the time together to discuss their own agenda.
NACC national chair Neel Radia said “The NACC and its Executive Board are keen to see first-hand the wonderful work our members are doing in the community. For the Executive Board to experience directly what it feels like to be a resident in care setting is an invaluable opportunity, especially for those who are not regularly in a day-to-day care setting themselves.
“The menu and overall experience including sleeping in the care home has been incredible.”
