Eating Well - a priority for the elderly here at BriarGate Dementia Care

BriarGate features hygienic, well-equipped kitchens and dedicated dining areas.

Our trained cooks prepare varied, healthy and nutritious menus of meals and snacks. Dementia Care residents may choose to eat breakfast in their own rooms, on the deck or patio, or with staff and other residents in the dining room.

Lunch is the main meal, and relatives/friends are welcome to partake of a meal when visiting – although we would appreciate prior advice for catering purposes, and there may be a small charge for this service.
