Protected Mealtimes in Care Homes

Protected mealtimes are simple: for the length of the meal, non-essential interruptions stop and care happens at the table. No bleeps, no tasks, just feeding and being with residents.

What it looks like in practice

• Non-urgent calls paused during meals
• Kitchen and care aligned on the window
• Extra hands at the table, not at the desk
• Visitors welcomed, not shooed
• The meal treated as the priority it is
