Latimer Court opens its doors to lonely older people

Local care home Latimer Court in Worcester will be opening its doors to a number of people from the community to help tackle loneliness in their local community. Open for elderly people who might usually eat alone, are invited to join the residents and teams at the home on Wednesday’s during 2023 for a 3 course meal.

Diners will be treated to a tasty lunch in the home’s dining room. Guests will have a chance to chat to the home’s staff and residents, while enjoying their food and will be able to partake in an activity, game or friendly social with those at the home after their meal.

The home’s Head Chef Tony and his team will be producing a range of dishes to cover varied individual dietary needs and preferences, so diners were able to eat to their fill accompanied with a wide selection of beverages.

The ‘Don’t Dine Alone’ initiative was launched by care provider Barchester Healthcare as a way to reach out to isolated or vulnerable members of their local communities. Barchester Healthcare is also behind Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, which is a registered charity that gives grants to older people and other adults with a disability to help combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged in the communities where the Barchester care homes operate.

Donna Tustin, General Manager at Latimer Court tells us more “Loneliness can be a big problem for elderly people, especially as the weather gets colder. Our doors are always open to new friends of our home, you will be guaranteed a warm welcome and a delicious meal.”
