Nutritious Meals and Snacks

Dining is more than just good food – it’s an opportunity to nourish the body, experience enjoyment, and bring people together.

Our talented chefs prepare fresh, seasonal, and nutritionally balanced meals every day, catering to all tastes and dietary needs. Residents can choose between a continental or cooked breakfast. This is followed by a two-course lunch and dinner with hot and cold options, and beer or wine available. Lighter dishes feature on our Nighttime Yummy menu, as well as plentiful nutritious evening snacks.

Throughout the day, we serve homemade cakes, biscuits, and healthy snacks for residents to enjoy. With tea and coffee options, juices and soft drinks, always available, to suit everyone’s needs and routines.

A Variety of Dining Options

Residents can choose where and how they’d like to enjoy their meals. Our stylish dining rooms provide a social and welcoming atmosphere, while the bistro or terrace is perfect for a frothy coffee or afternoon tea. For quieter moments or those preferring privacy, meals can also be served in residents’ rooms.

Dining at Water Mill House isn’t just about food – it’s about community and enjoying the company of friends and family. We also organise regular themed dining events, seasonal and cultural celebrations, to create meaningful moments for our residents.

Celebrating Together

Special occasions are made even more memorable at Water Mill House. We cater for celebrations in our private-dining room, creating delicious menus and personalised touches to ensure every event feels special. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or another milestone, our team is here to make it a wonderful experience for residents and their loved ones.

Dementia Adjustments

Within our dementia suite, we reduce distractions, and use contrasting tableware and adapted cutlery, glasses and cups to support residents’ independence, safety and enjoyment. Rather than using menus, meals are plated for residents to choose what they would like to eat. And, for those who prefer not to sit for long, we serve nutritious food that can be eaten on the go.

Our team is passionate about making every dining experience exceptional. From the warm and attentive service to the beautiful presentation of our menus and dishes, every detail is carefully considered to ensure residents feel valued and cared for.

We came to Water Mill House to have lunch with my brother. We were greeted and met with great courtesy and had a coffee in the Bistro. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Lunch was wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented. Our experience was very positive and I feel my brother is in excellent hands.

The nursing team and carers cannot do enough for Mum. The weekly doctor’s visits and the attention to detail has been amazing. A 5-star experience for our beloved mum. Thank you to the manager and the team, you really have lived up to your promises.

Susan

Resident’s daughter

Mum is so much more active and is busy going on outings, joining in using her walker, things that were not happening previously. Highly recommend.

Resident’s daughter

I could not wish for a better place to for my husband who has late stages of Parkinson’s. The care and kindness from every member of staff is unbelievable. They give him his dignity, but health and safety always comes first. I don’t know where we would be without Water Mill Care Home.

Wife

I can’t describe my sense of gratitude that our brother is being cared for with such compassion and diligence. The care home both cares and is a real home. We were served the most delicious lunch and treated as real family members, not tiresome visitors. 5 stars all round!

Water Mill House is a lovely care home with very good facilities and kind and welcoming staff. They have been unfailingly kind and supportive to me and my husband, who has used the day centre service for nearly a year.”

Kay

Resident’s wife

My mother spent the last few weeks of her life on the dementia floor. We were very impressed by the kindness and respect with which all the residents were treated. The way Mother (and we) were cared for at the end of her life was excellent. We are very grateful to all the staff that we can look back on this difficult time with the comfort of knowing that Mum was in the right place and with the right people around her.

This is a very caring care home. It has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We arranged for a family get-together in the private dining room. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. It was a happy and relaxed occasion. 5-star food!

Elizabeth

Resident’s Wife

Dad’s passing was peaceful, pain-free and dignified. The staff were awesome, so caring, kind and gentle. He passed away in a comfortable bed in a safe and secure and loving environment. I cannot praise and thank the staff and management of Water Mill House enough, it’s a truly caring family atmosphere.
