We tackle a range of challenges that residential and nursing care homes can present head-on, ensuring residents’ dietary needs and nutrition is always treated with the utmost care.
Our expertise
Our services always come from the heart.
Helen Ream, White Oaks Food Service Dietitian, has been a registered dietitian for over 30 years. White Oaks has been fortunate to spotlight her dedication to her craft for the past decade, which truly enables our offering to be invaluable to our clients. Helen is incredibly passionate about adding joy to residents through our food and dining experiences, contributing to their overall wellbeing and quality of life, as well as ensuring they are as healthy as can be.
Overcoming challenges
Nutrition is vitally important throughout our lives, but especially in later life, where new challenges may arise, such as a loss of appetite and limited mobility. These potential obstacles to achieving a balanced and healthy diet can cause muscle loss and weight gain, and as a result, subsequent health complications like coronary heart disease. We can work to prevent diseases and illnesses that people may encounter with White Oaks’ tailored approach to food.
Each resident in a residential or nursing care home will have developed their own dietary footprint throughout their lifetimes – a unique tapestry of flavour preferences and home comforts that they gravitate towards.
It’s vital for our offering to become tailored, not only to the dietary needs of your residents but also to their personalised and varying preferences. We want each resident to feel joy when consuming their meals, whilst receiving the vitamins and nutrients that they need to uplift their quality of life.
Local procurement
Our industry specialists ensure our offerings are cost-effective whilst delivering nutritional, culinary experiences. Representing the locality of each of our locations, our menus only serve you the best that British communities have to offer. We support regional suppliers, and our sourcing covers bakery, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat products, curated from local British farms.
Achieving balance
We deeply care about ensuring that your residents have all of their nutritional needs fulfilled, priding ourselves on our comprehensive understanding of nutrition and wellbeing. We know how to achieve both taste and nutritional value, meaning that your residents receive the full benefits of our culinary experience.
Achieving the right balance for each individual is a fine art that our culinary and dietary teams have mastered, ensuring that we can deliver the needed amount of protein by reducing carbohydrates, for example, if that is what the resident needs.
We ask the questions to gain this knowledge, understanding each individual’s dietary needs and preferences and can thus tailor our menus accordingly.
Personalised menus
We know that for residents, it’s also crucially important, where possible, to help them maintain independence, respect and dignity.
Our services not only meet all of your residents’ needs through our fully personalised menus that tailor to any dietary requirements you have disclosed, but also create social experiences that enhance the meaning of our food. Through social events and delightful dishes that are a feast for the tastebuds, we provide value, uplifting your residents’ feeling of choice and autonomy and thus improving their quality of life.
