With festival season officially under way, a care home in Frome is welcoming the local community for a fun-filled afternoon of food and celebration.
On Friday 7th August from 2.30pm–4.30pm, Care UK’s Rossetti House will open its doors to families and neighbours for a food festival, inviting guests to tuck in and celebrate the nation’s shared love of great cuisine, community and connection.   Visitors to the Welshmill Lane home can look forward to a unique culinary celebration of foods from around the world, featuring dishes specially created by Rossetti House’s talented chefs, including seven dishes inspired by the seven continents.   Stephen, resident at Rossetti House, said: “I am looking forward to tasting the offerings from around the world. I want to try everything to see which one I like the best!”   The event is part of the ‘A Taste of Home’ initiative, which will see Care UK homes across the country host foodie-themed celebrations and showcase what life in a care home is really like.   Each festival will offer sustainable, community-focused activities while championing the diversity and creativity within the homes, from residents’ favourite recipes to seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients.   Phil Vale, Home Manager at Rossetti House, said: “We’re delighted to be hosting our very own food festival!   “We are part of a strong community here in Frome, and days like this are a wonderful way of bringing people together to celebrate our love of food while giving residents the opportunity to share their favourite recipes and traditions with younger generations.   “The afternoon not only promises a lot of laughter, but it is also an excellent way for residents to meet and mingle with lots of new faces – and some familiar ones. We can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors.”   To find out more about A Taste of Home, please visit careuk.com/a-taste-of-home.   Rossetti House provides full-time residential, dementia and nursing care, as well as short-term respite care, in a luxury setting.
