We are delighted to share more about our partnership with Apetito, a leading provider of high-quality meals designed specifically for the health and wellbeing needs of older adults and those receiving care. This collaboration reflects our commitment to offering residents not only nutritious and delicious food, but also a dining experience that supports dignity, independence, and overall quality of life.

Who are Apetito?

Why we partnered with Apetito

Mealtimes play a vital role in daily life, particularly in care settings, where they are not just about nourishment, but also about comfort, routine, and enjoyment. At our care homes, we believe every resident deserves meals that are not only delicious and nutritious, but also tailored to their individual tastes and dietary needs. Equally important to us is consistency—residents should experience the same high standard of food and dining, no matter which of our homes they are in. By ensuring this consistency, we create a sense of familiarity and reassurance, helping residents feel at home while enjoying mealtimes everyday.

This partnership allows us to ensure that every meal served to residents in our care has been carefully designed to be nutritionally balanced, supporting energy, hydration, and overall health, while also catering to specific medical or dietary needs. The dishes are consistently high-quality and served with care. Most importantly, this collaboration ensures that mealtimes remain a source of joy, comfort, and connection for everyone.

Over the summer, residents from our Retford homes - Branthwaite and Cherry Holt - enjoyed a fantastic Sports Day hosted by Apetito, with support from BeGreatFitness. The event was filled with laughter, friendly competition, and delicious food, creating a memorable day for everyone involved.
