Staff at the homes also opened their doors to visitors who were invited to get involved with the events aimed at illustrating how small changes in their food and drink intake can have huge impact on their well-being.

The week of foodie fun kicked off with at The Beeches in Newtown with a fruit tasting session, and also included cookery classes, exercise sessions and a chance to try teas from all over the globe at The Gables in Middlebrough and Ingleby care homes.

Jan Vaughan, Regional Manager for the North East said: “Good eating and drinking habits are extremely important for our residents in helping them to maintain a healthy lifestyle and that is why we support national Nutrition and Hydration Week in our homes.

“We work hard to provide all of our residents with first-class care and this includes ensuring their dietary needs are met, that is why we have healthy dining choices in all of our homes and make certain that everyone is well hydrated and eating adequate amounts.”
