Texture Modified Food in Signature Care Homes

At Signature, we take our residents’ food requirements very seriously, and spend a great deal of time gaining better knowledge of individuals’ likes and dislikes as well as their dietary requirements. These often cover many complex needs, including providing texture modified food for residents with Dysphagia. Signature is committed to offering a varied, balanced and attractive menu for residents who suffer from this condition, and we believe that we can offer a dining experience that is inspiring aesthetically, nutritionally and in terms of flavour. In most care homes, the presentation of pureed meals has typically been in the format of pre-prepared meals with little visual stimulation. At Signature, however, we create all our purees from fresh food and present pureed meals attractively, with the elements of the food as close visually to their original form as possible. At Signature, we work closely with our residents, their families and our care teams to provide a daily menu for those residents suffering with dysphagia. A typical day’s menu could include toast with jam, sausage, beans and hash browns and roast chicken and vegetables. Afternoon snacks and biscuits are also entirely achievable with the right training. Signature hosts regular nutritional workshops where chefs can learn and practice new methods. Our chefs have become very accomplished, with many seeing pureed food as a different art form rather than just a medical need. Many of our chefs have even been inspired to enter national competitions and recognised events to highlight dysphagia-friendly food.
