At Elton House, the team is celebrating a significant achievement in resident well-being and nutritional care.
The home has proudly become one of just seven care homes in Hertfordshire to receive the Gold Accreditation for Food Fortification, awarded by the HILS Nutrition Team in partnership with the NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board and the Hertfordshire Integrated Nutrition and Dietetic Service (HINDS).
This prestigious accreditation recognises the home’s outstanding approach to nutritional support and the role that carefully planned, fortified meals play in maintaining residents’ health and well-being. By embedding best practices into everyday dining, the team ensures that residents receive meals that are not only enjoyable but also tailored to meet individual nutritional needs.
The award also reflects the home’s strong performance across the five key standards assessed by the Care Quality Commission (CQC): safety, effectiveness, care, responsiveness and leadership.
For the team at Elton House, achieving Gold Accreditation is a testament to their dedication to delivering exceptional care. From chefs to care staff, everyone plays a role in ensuring residents receive high-quality dietary support that promotes strength, comfort and quality of life. This recognition highlights the home’s continued commitment to nutritional excellence and reinforces its mission to provide residents with outstanding, person-centred care every day.
