Currently all Janith Homes’ residents benefit from a care package which can include day service provision if contracted from Barrington Farm adjacent to the Rookery in Walcott.
Each home offers home cooked meals which provide a well balanced diet. When possible we use free range meat and eggs produced with help from the residents at the Barrington Farm day services next to The Rookery. We also aim to buy seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables from local suppliers.
