Birkenhead Nursing Home receives 5 Star Food Hygiene Rating

We Care Group - 16 August 2023

The team at Daleside Nursing Home, in Birkenhead, which is part of the We Care Group,
is celebrating following a recent inspection from the Food Standard Agency which has
awarded them with a ‘Five Star Food Hygiene Rating’.
A score of zero to five, food hygiene ratings are given to food handling businesses,
which includes care homes, after an inspection has assessed how well they comply with
food safety laws.
Inspectors from the Food Standard Hygiene visited Daleside Nursing Home on 1 st
August 2023 and found the hygienic food handling, as well as management of food
safety, to be very good within the home. They also found the cleanliness and condition
of the facilities and building to be good. As a result, the home has received the highest
rating of ‘Five Stars’ rating them overall as ‘Very Good’
During the visit the inspector recognised the improvements made to the kitchen saying
“The new kitchen is a massive improvement and has improved food safety.”
The team works incredibly hard to provide residents with a wonderful varied menu,
with all meals prepared with fresh, locally sourced, seasonal produce and based on the
individual tastes and dietary needs of the people we support. It prides itself on its
varied menu which will satisfy even those with the smallest of appetites; from breakfast
through to dinner, residents can discover something different with fresh flavours and
lovely, well-presented meals, creating new and exciting dishes for everyone to enjoy, as
well as freshly baked cakes for afternoon teas.
Chris Taverner, Manager at Daleside Nursing Home said “It is wonderful to receive a 5
Star Rating from Food Standards Agency, which is testament to the hard work of all the
team in ensuring that we are delivering good quality nutritional food to our residents.”
She continued “It is particularly rewarding that the inspector particularly mentioned the
new kitchen which had been installed since the last inspection resulting in significant
improvements to food safety.”
Bernie Suresparan, Chief Executive Officer at We Care Group said “Well done to all the
team at Daleside Nursing Home on achieving a ‘Five Star Food Hygiene rating’, which is
excellent news.” He continued “The team have demonstrated exceptional expertise and
care with their food hygiene processes and policies!”

The We Care Group, which has been operating since 2007, is building a good reputation in
the local area as part of its drive to be care home provider of choice in the communities it
