Loveday Executive Chef Featured in Dementia Diaries

Loveday’s Executive Chef, Matt Dodge, has been featured in Dementia Diaries, contributing to a wider discussion exploring the relationship between nutrition and brain health.

The article examines current research around diet and cognitive wellbeing, including the potential benefits of Mediterranean, DASH and MIND diets in supporting long-term brain health and reducing the risk of cognitive decline.

Within the feature, Matt reflects on the growing importance of nutrition within dementia care, following his recent recognition at the Dementia Care Awards, where he received the Creative Nutrition Award.

Speaking to Dementia Diaries, he said: “Nutrition has stopped being a background consideration and has become central to my philosophy. Food isn’t just fuel in this setting, it’s therapy, memory, stimulation and connection.”

At Loveday, dining forms an important part of daily life, with chef-led menus developed in collaboration with clinical teams to ensure nutritional value sits alongside enjoyment, familiarity and individual preferences.

The feature highlights the increasing focus on nutrition as part of a broader approach to supporting people living with dementia.
