Good Food, Well Prepared.
All food is prepared with fresh ingredients each and every day, with our residents having a choice of dishes at every meal. We serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, suppers, snacks — and of course quite a few cups of tea and coffee to visiting friends and family members!
We place a high priority on the quality and variety of food available at The Grove and allow residents to have their say on the menu offering in resident's meetings. Alongside this, there are multiple theme nights throughout the year where different foods from around the world are showcased. Of course, residents can always request an alternative option if these are not to taste.
We are used to managing special diets, including catering for diabetics, and we welcome a variety of dietary requirements including veganism, lacto-ovo vegetarianism and pescatarianism. We have been awarded a Recipe 4 Health certificate by Lancashire District Council and a Food Hygiene Rating of 5 'Very Good' by the Food Standards Agency.
Equipment and Compliance
We have a large lounge on the ground floor where residents are encouraged to spend at least part of their day socialising with other residents.
Of our forty-one bedrooms, all have hand washbasins. All rooms, and all furniture and equipment within them, are independently checked to ensure compliance with local and national guidelines. We conduct regular staff fire drills, kitchen and laundry inspections, and employee training sessions.
All rooms are designed to accommodate specialist and electronic beds, as well as wheelchair access. Lifting equipment is available to help clients in and out of bed and chairs. All bathrooms are adapted for use by people with limited mobility.
Looking After The Details
Nothing says 'home' quite like having your own possessions around you. Whether they're pictures, cherished items of furniture, or even a familiar bed, they all add to the comfort of your surroundings. At The Grove we're happy to accommodate personal belongings as far as it's practical to do so.
All rooms are painted and redecorated before clients move in, and colour schemes matched to new occupants' tastes wherever possible. The Grove has recently undergone a comprehensive refurbishment of the Lounge and Dining Room area, complete with a new range of comfortable seating.
We give you peace of mind that you or your loved ones are being cared for by compassionate staff, 24 hours a day and that their safety and wellbeing is paramount.
Food Hygiene Rating
All meals are freshly prepared on-site by our own chef. We are proud to hold the highest possible food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency.
