living with hallmark

Great attention is paid to providing beneficial nutrition here at Hallmark. Many residents require special diets for medical or religious reasons.

Our experienced Chefs and culinary teams cater for a wide range of therapeutic and cultural needs, for example:

• Dementia – may require finger foods or soft diets;
• Diabetics – require a varied healthy diet, rich in fruit, vegetables and starchy carbohydrates but low in sugar and saturated fat;
• High Energy Needs – underweight residents may need fortified, high calorie, high protein foods that are not too filling.
• Food Allergies and Intolerances – require diets with the problematic ingredient(s) omitted. Changes to preparation methods may be required;
• Halal, Kosher and Other Religious Diets – require that certain foods be omitted and ingredients be sourced and prepared in a specific way.

Hallmark catering teams take individual needs very seriously and ensure that their likes and dislikes are taken into account along with their nutritional requirements.

Eating in a Hallmark care home allows residents to enjoy old favourites or explore new dining experiences. Many homes add variety by offering culinary events such as Italian or Indian evenings. Wherever possible local and organic produce is sourced and put to good use – and of course, home baked cakes are a welcome treat to accompany afternoon tea!
