Eating and Drinking Safely: Understanding Dysphagia 🥕

Today, we hosted an informative and engaging session focused on safe eating and drinking. Our chefs demonstrated how meals can be thoughtfully prepared and plated at different consistency levels to help prevent choking and support those with swallowing difficulties. 👨‍🍳

This means all residents can enjoy the same meals, tailored to their needs - without compromising on taste or presentation 🫐🥒🍓
