apetito Care Homes - Our First Century!

05 Aug, 2011

Care Home TeamWe are very pleased to announce that we have reached a rather important milestone: our 100th home!

The momentous home is Helme Hall, which is based in the picturesque town of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire (better known as the location for Last of the Summer Wine!).

It’s great to see that our proven combination of nutritious food, innovative systems and extensive customer support translates to a winning, highly cost-effective solution for you. Not only this, but it also improves the whole dining experience for your residents too.

However, our team won’t be resting on its laurels; data from the Office of National Statistics shows incredible changes to the number of 85s in the UK. The number of over 85s in the UK will rise by 36% over the next 10 years and will double over the next 20 years.*

This means that there will be more people who need to be looked after in care homes and potentially many more customers to reach that can benefit from our meal solutions.

Well done to the whole of the Care Home team for their excellent progress – here’s to the next 100 homes!
