What will the food be like?
Your meals should give you a varied, healthy and well-balanced diet that takes into account your likes and dislikes and your medical needs.
The meals will also be fitting for your dietary customs or religious beliefs. Please make sure you tell the home what kinds of food you require, or ask your family or a friend to tell them.
