Sundial Care Home, located near Sidmouth, Devon, is excited to announce their 5* Food and Hygiene rating. This rating, given by the Food Standards Agency, reflects the care home’s commitment to maintaining exemplary standards of cleanliness and food safety for the individuals in their care.
This rating comes as the care home celebrates the full refurbishment of its kitchen. The newly refurbished main kitchen at Sundial is the heart of the home. While it services the entire community, residents, referred to as family members, have the choice to use their own kitchenette, which each “household” has, giving them the independence to prepare a snack or a drink whenever they like. Sundial has 37 bedrooms, but every family member is part of a household designed to feel like home. Depending on their cognitive journey, they live in a supportive environment that meets their individual needs, surrounded by familiar comforts and a sense of belonging.
As part of Sundial’s household model of care, mealtimes are a shared experience, bringing family and team members together around the table. Those who wish to join can enjoy meals in a homely setting that feels just like sitting around the table with family – chatting, sharing and connecting.
Liz Thompson, Care Home Manager shared “I’m so delighted for the team and our family members, the newly refurbished kitchen allows us to make our mealtime experience even more special. Mealtimes are about more than just food; they bring people together and create a strong sense of connection.”
Sundial Care Home, rated Outstanding by the CQC, encourages each family member’s independence, respects personal choices and life experiences. By understanding their unique journey, the team creates a home where individuals have the choice to live in a way that feels right for them.
