Brakes
supporting the care caterer
Brakes is once again extremely proud to be a premier partner of the NACC.
Brakes is one of the leading foodservice distributors supplying care homes throughout the UK. We understand that the meals and snacks served to residents are often one of the highlights of their day. Brakes is perfectly placed to support the care caterer with what are often quite challenging needs and tight budgetary restrictions. Food in care homes often de nes the perception of the overall quality of care provided.
Brakes has established a dedicated team of people who are extremely passionate and specialise in this vital sector. Devoted healthcare chef Danny Silcock, with the support of nutritionist Ruth O’Sullivan, work together to build bespoke recipes and menus for people with special dietary needs. Key areas of development have been dysphagia, dementia and forti cation, and Brakes now has an extensive recipe bank to support these.
In addition, Brakes has a unique online Care Home Caterer Training Pack, which has been accredited by The Association of Nutritionists and is great in supporting evidence for CQC inspections. This is free to all Brakes care customers and for any members of the care home sta .
