A Helping Hand For Those With Dementia
Our dining environments are carefully designed to offer calm, comforting spaces with minimal distractions and plenty of room to move safely. Our goal is to make every mealtime a positive experience.
Specialised tableware is available to support motor skills and promote independence, helping residents retain their dignity and confidence while dining. Our chefs and care teams are trained in IDDSI (International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative) to ensure every resident’s needs are carefully met, including a nutritional assessment on admission and ongoing support.
Our team works closely with our in-house Nutrition Champion and management to discuss dietary needs and preferences in weekly planning sessions. Whether it’s a hearty roast, a lighter bite, or a fortified meal for added support, we make sure that no one is left out and every plate is prepared with care.
And if a little extra support is ever needed at the table, our compassionate staff are always close by, offering help with dignity and warmth. Because at Haddington, we know that food isn’t just about eating—it’s about feeling at home.
