Dietary requirements, preferences and allergens

At Care South, we understand that every resident has their own individual tastes, dietary needs and preferences. Our culinary and care teams work closely with residents, families and healthcare professionals to ensure that every meal is safe, enjoyable and tailored to the individual.

We cater for a wide range of dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, texture modified and culturally specific diets, while also supporting residents with medical or nutritional needs. Allergens are carefully managed and monitored by our trained teams, with clear processes in place to help keep residents safe and reassured at every mealtime.
