Diet and nutrition are essential components of daily life, and one that is not overlooked at the
Portland Group.
We have specially designed menus in order to offer our service users all the nutritious benefits of a wide selection of food products. We may also provide dietary plans for different needs such as:
- Medical ailments (eg: Diabetes)
- Religious requirements
- Cultural requirements
- Age
In order to fulfil our aim to provide a 1st class service to all our service users, it is important that the quality of our staff meets the high standard set out by the company. Training is provided to ensure this quality service is delivered and it is our desire that all of our hospitality staff have all the essential requirements and extra relevant qualifications.
The Portland Group will also fully cater for our domiciliary care division allowing the company to be fully self-sufficient. Outside catering is also an option that The Portland Group seek to provide to our service users for occasions such as birthdays, wedding anniversaries and other special occasions.
The most important factor is to make our service users feel at home and comfortable. We pride ourselves on our service and see it as the core value when delivering a holistic care approach in order to make The Portland experience is one of outstanding quality.
