“I’ve had a fantastic experience with the Pure Food team on this innovative approach to meals. We have seen real improvement in our residents’ enjoyment of the food and their weight. Because of these exciting results, we have rolled out the Texture Modified Range to all our residents”

“I think mum looks fabulous. She is happier, of course, because she gets a variety of flavours and her weight has stabilised. She wants to eat now. I think it’s made a huge difference to her body and skin and has given her dignity back. I’m really chuffed.”

“The fortification means that people can eat smaller portions and finish their meal at the same time as their dining companions while still getting the nutrition they need.”

"We can't really stop using Pure Food when you see the results with the residents and the improvement in their quality of life. I mean, why would you?”
