Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Supper. The main meal of the day will normally consist of a main course of meat or fish plus three vegetables followed by a sweet course. As each resident’s Personal Care Assistant makes a note of any dietary likes or dislikes there is always an alternative choice available. Residents are always able to ask for hot or cold drinks {tea, coffee etc} and biscuits at any time. In addition coffee, tea and biscuits are always available to visitors free of charge. We cater also for buffet lunches, birthday and wedding anniversary parties for residents. Charges, when made are very modest. Dining Room / Lounge The dining room and lounge are open areas and are used by residents to sit, read, meet relatives and friends, watch television and to chat with other residents or staff. Because of the way that the rooms are divided, it is always possible for any resident to eat alone or with fellow guests or staff. The choice is theirs. Garden Benoni has a small well-kept garden, which is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the sea air. There are plans to create a decking area, accessible from the conservatory and a small vegetable garden to provide the residents with fresh, home grown vegetables. Church An interdenominational church service is held within the home each month. Staff to Residents Ratio Benoni is a small and friendly Nursing Home with over 31 staff providing care 24 hours a day for a maximum of 21 residents. Staff Training There is a continuous process of training and skill development at Benoni. All staff are actively encouraged to improve their care experience and nursing skills by undertaking further training and NVQ courses in the relevant fields. The home pays for all training courses. Advertising Benoni spends very little on advertising. The excellent standards of care ensure that word of mouth referrals are enough to fill any vacant beds.
