To create the Little Gaynes Dining Experience, we are dedicated to enhancing each resident’s health and well-being with wholesome, nutritious seasonal menus that are freshly prepared in our home daily.

The Chef works with the entire care team to understand andcater to each resident’s individual preferences and special dietary needs.

Our dining room is a casual, inviting space where residents can enjoy meals in a relaxed atmosphere. However, just like at home, any area can be adapted into a comfortable spot for eating and drinking.

We support residents in enjoying their meals wherever they feel most comfortable, with breakfast in bed being a favourite and afternoontea in the garden coming in a close second.
