Corridors can be cold and unwelcoming in Parkhaven Court. We have taken your comments on board and will raise this issue with the landlords at Parkhaven Court; Your Housing.

 

We will update you on this issue as soon as we have a response.

 
Maintenance issues. Our maintenance programme ensures all maintenance issues are logged and then acted upon by our maintenance team as soon as possible. If you are aware of a maintenance issue in your loved one’s service/home, please raise this with a member of staff, so it can be logged and actioned.

 
Food to be served on hot plates. Whilst we aim to serve meals on warm plates. For safety reasons we don’t want to make plates too hot and therefore unsafe for our service users.

Our meals are wholesome and nutritious. They are freshly prepared in our kitchens and cater for all dietary requirements, with specialist menus being created to meet all our client’s needs. Our chefs are always happy to receive menu suggestions and recipes too, so please do speak to the service manager at your loved one’s service/home if you have any suggestions.

Tea and coffee available while visiting your loved one. Whilst we are unable to allow family members into our kitchens to make their own teas and coffees (for health and safety reasons), we are more than happy to provide these to you during your visit. Please do ask any member of staff at your loved one’s home, they will be happy to help you.
