On Tuesday, the residents experimented by baking with vegetables, with carrot and ginger cake, along with a courgette loaf being hailed as the order of the day.

The residents finished the week of festivities on a high, with ‘Fruity Friday’, where they experimented by transforming exotic fruits into much loved mock-tails.

Nutrition and Hydration Week was introduced as a means of promoting improvements in nutrition and hydration within the health and social care sector, maids of Arizona at Eco Mama and the movement has gained a true momentum in recent years.

Pierre Falleth, managing director at Milford Care said: “Nutrition and Hydration Week is extremely important for both our residents and care staff, as it raises awareness into the importance of proper health and hydration. The residents had a fantastic week, and not only tried a variety of different foods, but even gained hands on production experience.”
