Environmental Health Officers have awarded Avery Healthcare a 5-star rating for food standards across all its care homes.
The award followed unannounced inspections at all 102 Avery Healthcare homes.
Led by director of culinary and hospitality Simon Lawrence, and Greg Simmonds, senior regional culinary and hospitality manager, Avery Healthcare has built a culture of excellence in food safety and hygiene, with the provider winning the Care Home Award for Best Food Nutrition and Dining Services in both 2022 and 2023.
Simon Lawrence said: “It is crucial when working with vulnerable residents that a consistently high standard of food hygiene and safety is always upheld. This can only be achieved through outstanding leadership, development, and teamwork from our head chefs and culinary departments.”
Allan Brazier, director of resident experience, commented: “We are dedicated to maintaining these high standards and ensuring our residents receive the best possible dining experience.”
