Our qualified chefs meet regularly with the residents to develop and review the menu. All meals are prepared in-house from fresh produce to ensure a high quality of food is maintained and a good dining experience is achieved.

Our staff members are trained above the national guidelines for care assistants. An activity coordinator complements the team, as the relationship between meaningful activities and keeping healthy and happy is important, and recognised as improving residents’ wellbeing in care settings. Activities are tailored to encompass group as well as individual activities as requested by the residents.
Cavell Manor cares for residents who primarily require nursing care, those living with dementia, and those needing end-of-life care. This is a specialised area of care in which we ensure all our residents, family, and friends, as well as staff, are supported throughout. We put a high importance on quality of life, so our activity coordinator directs and supports the residents in maintaining hobbies and interests wherever possible, ensuring each person’s day is enriched, and that their life experiences and knowledge are valued and respected.
