| Annotation | This is the first in a series of bulletins that focus on particular quality issues in regulated social care services. This bulletin builds on the inspection and other information the Commission holds on meals and mealtimes. It identifies areas of good practice in care homes and key findings of this bulletin are: The majority of care homes for older people (83%) meet the minimum standards for meals and mealtimes; that there are sufficient staff who are properly trained and managed to provide a positive experience for residents at mealtimes; people want their food to be tasty, nutritious, to eat in pleasant surroundings without being rushed; and, care services need to provide food and drink outside mealtimes for those who want it and this should include drinking water being easily available.
