Food and nutrition

At The Applewood, we have a range of beautifully decorated dining areas where our residents can relax and enjoy an intimate dining experience with family and friends. In addition to our popular dining rooms, residents can also enjoy mealtimes in our peaceful courtyard garden on sunny days, or the ever-popular treat of breakfast in bed.

Our popular seasonal menus provide a vast choice of nutritious and homemade meals, from local Buckinghamshire dishes to Great British classics. To start the day, a hearty cooked breakfast is always a popular choice, but there is always a wide range of options available for those with a smaller appetite.
 
Heart of the Community

We support our residents to take an active part in community life here The Applewood.
From building friendships with our neighbours in local community groups and schools, our residents also benefit from the many activities on offer in the area – from admiring the nearby scenic country parks, enjoying a trip to nearby shops and eateries to enjoying a picnic by Grand Union Canal.

Wellbeing

In addition to trips out into the local community, residents also enjoy taking part in a range of activities at Bluebell View via our extensive wellbeing programme, which is carefully designed to suit our residents’ varying preferences, hobbies and interests.

From exercise classes, cookery sessions, flower arranging and performances from local entertainers, we arrange a variety of group activities for everyone to enjoy. There are also plenty of opportunities for residents to get involved in the day-to-day running of our home; whether it’s helping in the garden, delivering residents’ post, helping in the bistro or even joining the planning committee for events at The Applewood.

We recognise that some residents may prefer to live their lives more privately and independently of others; the idea of our wellbeing programme is to help residents achieve whatever it is that gives them their own personal sense of wellbeing.
