At Rubislaw Park, we believe that the entire dining experience is an incredibly important one.
How, where and what a resident eats can really affect how they feel, and the food we put into our bodies has a much bigger effect on our health as we start to get older.
We provide residents with a dining experience that allows them to keep their independence while being completely able to dine with dignity, by letting them decide how they want to spend their meal times.
At Rubislaw Park, dining is a cherished time to come together with friends, family, and fellow residents to enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals and good company. Our chefs take pride in preparing nutritious dishes and regularly consult with residents to include their favourites. Those who need one-on-one support can enjoy meals at their own pace with help from our caring team.
While we encourage shared mealtimes, residents may also dine privately in their rooms, and visiting loved ones are always welcome to join. Our all-inclusive lifestyle features weekly coffee mornings, Afternoon Tea, and Friday Happy Hour, ensuring plenty of opportunities to socialise. Residents who enjoy helping with mealtime preparations, such as laying the table or preparing vegetables, are encouraged to do so.
Menus evolve monthly based on resident feedback, and each unit is stocked with snack boxes filled with fruit, biscuits, and homemade cakes. We celebrate birthdays with freshly baked treats and family buffets, and our bar offers a relaxed spot for residents and guests to share a snack or enjoy upcoming events like a Cheese and Wine evening.
Our residents living with dementia are incredibly important to us, which is why we pay such careful consideration to the dining experiences of these residents. As dementia frequently causes visual impairment, we choose to use high-rimmed tableware and tablecloths in various colours. We even have specialised cutlery intended to allow individuals with limited dexterity to eat independently and carry on enjoying their meals.
To ensure the comfort, convenience, and personalised support of our residents, we have taken great consideration into the design of our care home to encompass a range of facilities and services.
