Food Culture
AURRUM AGED CARE’S FOOD CULTURE
Aurrum’s nutritious and tasty home-cooked meals provide a comforting and enjoyable environment for our residents.
All of our nutritionally balanced meals are freshly prepared in consultation with our dieticians and cooked on-site by our experienced team of chefs, using the finest ingredients. To ensure variety, our aged care food menus with Australian-grown ingredients are changed seasonally. Menus are designed so that meals may be tailored to meet the specific dietary needs and preferences of every resident at our aged care homes.
Food lovingly prepared by chefs
Aurrum’s dedicated chefs cook a seasonal selection of delicious meals inspired by various cuisines along with traditional favourites of our residents. Our trained chefs enjoy catering to individual tastes and providing a broad selection of gourmet food options so everyone can enjoy each meal, no matter their individual preferences.
Nutritionally balanced meals
Food nourishes the body and plays a crucial role in ensuring physical and mental wellbeing. Our rotating menu seamlessly blends nutrition with taste, disproving the myth that healthy foods can’t be delicious. The food served in our aged care homes is made up of a healthy mixture of fruit, vegetables, protein and grains, with vitamins and minerals properly accounted for as approved by our dieticians.
Fresh ingredients
A recipe is only as good as the ingredients chosen in its preparation. Aurrum prioritises using locally sourced and organic ingredients to ensure that our dishes are fresh, nutritious and flavoursome.
Meals tailored to your needs
Our chefs cater to your dietary requirements and preferences. From vegetarian hot breakfasts and high protein diet substitutions to soft bite sized food options, our team takes the time to carefully customise the types of food in our aged care facilities to accommodate your needs.
