Award winning staff make a meal of it
A Warwickshire County Council residential care home has won an award for its commitment to providing healthy meals.
Staff at Park View Residential Care Home in Warwick were given a ‘Heartbeat Award’ by Warwick District Council in recognition of their commitment to meeting the dietary needs of older people and for providing good standards of hygiene.
Park View has been taking part in the County Council’s Focus on Mealtimes project which is all about making mealtimes for care home residents the highlight of the day by improving nutritional care, general wellbeing and people’s quality of life.
Care Home Manager Annis Tombs paid tribute to her staff and said: “Our catering team have worked very hard with our residents and customers to achieve this excellent award. Our involvement in ‘Focus on Mealtimes’ is about meeting residents wishes and choices while at the same time considering the dietary and nutritional needs of older people.”
Park View is the first Warwickshire County Council Care Home to receive the Heartbeat award.
