Lifestyle at Barnes Court - Care Home in Sunderland

As individuals, how we choose to spend our time and the food that we choose to eat is important to all of us. It’s our personality, feelings and lifestyle choices that make us who we are. That’s why we value the recreation and dining experience of those people living with us just as highly as their personal care needs.

With our exclusive More Lifestyle at Barnes Court - Care Home in Sunderland Programme, you can expect more to life. More focus on the social side of things. More attention to your interests. More passion for your wellbeing. More reasons to feel happy and fulfilled in your home.

More isn’t just a lifestyle programme. It’s a lifetime promise. To always put your happiness and wellbeing first. Getting to know you, we’ll build your personalised lifestyle plan together, with focus on your mind, body and soul.

We continually revisit and update our programme to make sure we are offering meaningful and engaging entertainment choices to enrich the life of those living with us.

Quality Dining

Quality Dining

Good food should be savoured and celebrated. We serve home cooked meals, prepared on-site using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. Our talented catering teams combine creativity, passion, and a comprehensive knowledge of nutrition to deliver high quality, delicious and nutritional meals.

With several choices on offer each mealtime, menus are rotated on a weekly basis and are based on the preferences and nutritional needs of our residents. Between meals refreshments and baked treats are available via our tea trolley and coffee mornings or afternoon teas are a common event.

Special dietary requirements

Special dietary requirements

Our head chef works closely with our home manager and care team to ensure residents are receiving the nutrition they need and to make adaptations for individuals who need extra dietary input, such as fortifying meals for those who are underweight.

We offer the training needed so that our dining team are able to provide nutritious and tempting meals for those with special dietary requirements, such as high-nutrient or calorific dishes and soft foods.
