Dining & Nutrition

Our dining room is the hub of our care home, providing great food with even greater conversation. We know the importance of nutrition when it comes to quality of life. Using the freshest of ingredients, we pride ourselves on our home-cooked meals and hot drinks and snacks which are served throughout the day. We are able to accommodate individual requirements, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and low sugar diets.

You can choose anything you want to eat if don’t feel like eating what is on the menu. We are complimented on the food we cook almost every day and so we are really proud to serve three delicious homely meals every day!

The Food Standards Agency has given our Worthing Care Home a 5 * rating.

What is SMART CARE?

Sincere care

Caring driven by years and years of experience and listening to what our residents want and need then delivering it through a desire to create the best Nursing and Residential care home experience possible.

Meaningful

Our residents’ lives are important. Wherever possible, we make sure their lives continue to be meaningful – and that they are important, whilst still maintaining control of their decision-making and lives.

We embrace independence and ensure our residents do too.

Activities

Activities are a huge part of everyday life at the Willett Lodge Nursing Care Home and we are focused on providing quality activities and entertainment. Every resident will have their own understanding about what is a meaningful activity to them – so we embrace this and create something individual wherever possible. Our loving teams of staff get to know what is right for each resident – whether it be reading, gardening or something else entirely – the aim is to ensure residents enjoy themselves, relax and continue to be stimulated.

Relationships

Relationships are everything in life and having fruitful ones based on understanding and caring only creates a better life, never more so than for Nursing and Caring home residents. Our residents put their trust in us to keep them safe, well and loved. We embrace the words CARE and HOME, focusing on delivering that every day.

Trust

Our residents are their families and other loved ones – trust us to deliver the very best of care and provide a stimulating, safe and loving home – a place they enjoy living at – a place that makes them feel secure, a place that is staffed by teams of people they trust – and more than anything – a place they feel proud to call: HOME.
