Food at Glencairn

We understand that the provision of good quality food supports residents’ health and wellbeing, and that mealtimes should be a joyful daily event.

We offer nutritious meals, freshly prepared every day according to our wide-ranging menu, and residents have a choice of different options each day.

Our chefs also liaise with residents to discuss their particular likes and dislikes, and dietary needs. As well as any medical requirements relating to their food, we also take into account religious and cultural backgrounds to ensure a choice of food is provided.

Residents can choose to eat their meals in the dining room or in their own room. Tea, coffee, biscuits and fresh fruit are also available throughout the day and night.

All normal meals, snacks and drinks are provided within the fees for service. (Some special dietary items are not included and will require a supplementary cover charge). Limited quantities of alcohol are offered at special occasions.

“My mother is 104 years old and has been a resident at Glencairn House Residentia Home since April 2020. My family and I feel very fortunate that there was a vacancy for her at Glencairn when it was urgently needed. She has a lovely room and always seems happy and settled when I visit. The staff are always very welcoming and caring and also very patient. They seem to do their best to keep the residents happy and entertained. My mother particularly enjoys playing scrabble.”
