Homemade Food to be savoured
Our dedicated kitchen team prepares fresh meals daily, focusing on nutrition, taste, and individual preferences. Residents actively help shape the menu to suit their needs and tastes.
Chef prepared meals daily
At Holmwood Aged Care, dining is more than just a meal; it’s an experience filled with joy, comfort, and connection. Lead by our Head Chef, our kitchen team prepares fresh, onsite meals daily, crafted with an emphasis on nutrition, taste, and individual preferences.
Choose your own culinary adventure
Residents are at the heart of our culinary journey, actively participating in shaping the menu. Their input ensures that every meal caters to their unique tastes and nutritional needs.
Cultural events catered all year round
Our culinary philosophy extends beyond daily meals. As part of our unique lifestyle program, the kitchen team also cooks and caters for various ‘special’ days throughout the year. Celebrations such as Italian Day, Mother’s Day high tea, Christmas in July (and seasonal Christmas), Easter, Bastille Day, and other cultural events add excitement and variety to our residents’ dining experience.
Not just meals, but experiences to be celebrated
Food at Holmwood is about more than sustenance; it’s about memories and emotions. Our meals can transport residents to cherished places or create new experiences—a seaside fish and chips outing or a festive park BBQ. These culinary adventures contribute significantly to our residents’ physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.
Mealtimes are communal gatherings, opportunities for residents to connect and create lasting memories. Our commitment to quality food and enjoyable mealtime experiences drives our culinary team’s continuous innovation in nutrition and dining.
