Nutrition - Craig Healthcare

At our homes, we understand the importance of nutrition and we offer a wide variety of delicious, homemade meal options. Working alongside a nutritionist, our head chef in each home provides a menu of choice with appetising, nutritionally balanced food for each meal time. Throughout the day, there are also homemade cakes, scones and/or biscuits for residents to enjoy or offer to their relatives when they visit.

If something isn’t already on the menu we’re happy to take requests from residents and we’ll make their favourite dishes regularly or can whip up something they fancy within a day or two’s notice. All of our produce is fresh, locally sourced and we can accommodate any special dietary requirements. Special occasions are also celebrated, in keeping with the culture and traditions of our residents.

Food hygiene is very important to us. We hold the Level 5 Food Standards Agency accreditation which is the highest number you can be awarded for food hygiene quality.

What people are saying

"I am very pleased with how my mother has settled in and generally how supportive and caring the staff are. This has given us peace of mind knowing that she is safe & well looked after. Thank you."
"Our mum has been a resident at Cramlington House for over a year and we have nothing but praise for the friendly, approachable staff and management. We always feel like part of an extended family and when we visit nothing is too much bother. We are completely happy with the standard of care, support and understanding we all receive as a family."
"From the first day, I knew it was the place for my mum. Clean, friendly staff, lovely environment! My mum would not get the opportunity to do the activities she is experiencing if she was not in Cramlington House. It is home from home and we can visit anytime. I can't say enough of how great Cramlington House is. "
"This is an absolutely superb care facility. The staff say that this is the home of the residents, in which they work - and they evidence that philosophy every day. In the last months of our mother's long life, we took comfort form the fact that she was safe and secure, being well-fed and looked after. The entire care team are brilliant. "
"All the staff at West Farm have provided such wonderful care, compassion and support to my auntie. We both feel incredibly lucky to have found West Farm, it’s been the perfect home for my auntie. I can honestly say, hand on heart, every aspect of the care provided by each member of staff at West Farm has been outstanding."
