Supporting Independence Through Design
At Aria Care, mealtimes are more than routine, they’re opportunities for chatting with others, exciting the tastebuds, and enjoying good food. With over 68 care homes across the UK, Aria Care understands the power of thoughtful hospitality, and that includes every detail – right down to the plate.
Why Churchill?
There was no single standard across the homes before pairing with Churchill. James Clear led the introduction of Aria’s Hospitality from the Heart dining framework and Nutrition and Hydration standards, which now serve as the backbone of mealtime excellence across the group. The final piece of the puzzle? Partnering with a tableware provider who could help bring that vision to life.
As James Clear, Hospitality Director at Aria Care, explains:
“Churchill stood out to us not just for their reputation in hospitality, but because they design with purpose. Their crockery isn’t just durable – it enhances the lives of the people we care for every day.”
A Design With Purpose
Aria Care choose Churchill Stonecast Duck Egg Blue having expressed that the soft contrast of blue helps residents living with dementia more easily distinguish food from plate, making mealtimes more accessible, comfortable, and dignified. When considering the tableware it was not just about colour, from vitrified ceramic bodies with thermal shock resistance, to edge chip warranties and a sustainably glazed finish, our tableware meets the highest technical and safety standards – making it ideal for the professional care environment.
They also go on to say, “We’re proud to serve our meals on crockery that’s not only beautiful, but also improves the quality of life for our residents,” James adds. “It’s more than just a plate – it’s part of the experience.”
