Welcome to Littlebrook House :: Care home in Warsash


The dining room in the retirement home is our pride and joy. Along with the drawing room, this part of the home is the original 17th century building. Large, light and airy, the dining room runs down to the large conservatory overlooking the gardens, and gives a lovely feel to mealtimes in the retirement home. Tables are arranged congenially over the beautiful oak floor - an original feature of the home, along with the beams that run across the ceiling. Furnishings in the home are colour coordinated in soft greens and creams, and the walls are decorated with interesting pictures, often showing scenes of old Warsash, and the Hamble.
		From here, residents move easily into the lounge room, with its soft comfortable sofas and chairs, and welcoming fireplace. There are televisions and dvd recorders, or quiet alcoves and a choice of books and magazines. The room is lit with a combination of overhead and table lamps, so residents who want to read or watch television can, while others can relax with more subdued lighting. The lounge rooms are carpeted, and the heating is kept at a pleasant ambient temperature throughout the year. Morning coffee, and afternoon teas are usually served either in the conservatories, or here in the lounge. On different days, some of our activities are held here as well – craft classes, talks and visiting musicians.
Here at Little Brook retirement home, we provide some of the best food in the county. In fact, we take enormous pride in our home cooking, and our residents appreciate the choice, and the standard of food. As with all decisions made at residential retirement home, the menu is something that is collectively decided by the residents, at the monthly residents meetings. Every day at the home, breakfast is served individually, lunch and supper are formal meals offered with full silver service in the Dining room. These meal times are central to life at retirement home, as this is when people come together and enjoy the superb food, and good company, with staff always on hand during meal times to help.		The menus at Little Brook House change with the seasons. So, when the meat and fish come in from our local suppliers, and the fresh fruit and vegetables are delivered to the home three times a week, we create a rich and varied choice of nutritionally balanced meals. We can cater for all sorts of special diets and are more than happy to help out with advice and guidance. At the moment, for example, we have a diabetic resident, and one vegetarian.
Daily menus are displayed on the notice board in the hall, as well as in the dining room. To give you a taste of Little Brook, here's is a sample menu from this August:
