A healthy diet and keeping hydrated is a key factor in overall well-being. At Doddington Lodge, we appreciate how important nutrition is to keep our residents fit and healthy. Our delicious freshly prepared daily menu provides a wide selection of meal choices for our residents prepared by our professional, fully trained chefs.

As well as baking delicious treats and preparing fresh fruit for a snack, our chef prepares meals individually specific to each resident’s individual dietary requirements, this allows all of our residents to get the nutrition and health benefits they need day to day.

A balanced diet is incredibly important to keep their physical and mental state healthy, especially when caring for a resident with Dementia. We understand the illness can cause a change in taste so we carefully consider a dietary plan, that will be in constant evaluation where our Dementia residents are always given a choice, as well as meeting dietary requirements to provide a healthy, nutritional diet.

Meal times at Doddington Lodge are where our staff and residents can all enjoy some time spent together whilst enjoying homemade cakes, afternoon tea, fruit or freshly prepared hot meals. We all enjoy mealtimes in the newly refurbished, modern bistro dining area, as our residents and staff get to spend time together whilst enjoying their meals. We believe that allowing the residents to feel independent and at home is key. Dining is a social event where they can have a glass of wine and a chat with other residents and team members.
