It’s been a smooth, nutritious and tasty transition for Juniper Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) customers in the Great Southern with the introduction of Juniper meals.
The meal distribution service moved from Katanning Hospital to being produced by the team at Juniper Bethshan in July this year.
Keen to maintain meal delivery to customers, Juniper’s Leanne Plowright and Sarah Whittaker worked with the hospitality team at local residential home Bethshan to whip up freshly cooked two-course meals for community customers.
Juniper Operations Team Leader Community Sarah Whittaker said continuing the meal service was important for customers remaining at home, as it kept up their nutrition and supported customers to remain safe and well in their community.
“The support from Hospitality Services Manager Kirrie Hall and the team at Bethshan, who were as excited as us to provide delicious meals into the community was exceptional,” Sarah said.
The Bethshan hospitality team now prepare between 13 and 18 two-course meals per day for Community customers in Katanning and Kojonup, with support workers travelling up to 90km to ensure customers receive meals.
Hospitality Services Manager Kirrie Hall said it was a rewarding and logical move for Juniper to support the local community by preparing home style, freshly cooked meals.
“It’s all freshly cooked, not frozen, and it’s a seasonal menu with seasonal produce,” Kirrie said.
