Sanders Senior Living, part of Runwood Homes Group is proud to announce that all 76 care homes across the group have achieved a 5-star rating from the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) inspections. This outstanding achievement underscores the dedication and commitment of the Runwood Homes Group Catering, Management, and Support teams, who have worked relentlessly to maintain the highest standards of kitchen hygiene and safety for residents.
This milestone follows a strategic restructuring of the group’s auditing process, implemented 12 months ago by Chris Williams and James Cotton. Their efforts introduced enhanced monitoring and compliance practices, ensuring each home consistently meets and exceeds the standards set by regulatory inspections. Since then, the team has worked diligently to keep every kitchen in optimal condition, which has now been recognised with top-tier ratings across the board.
Chris Williams, Head of Catering at the group, expressed his pride in the achievement:
“We are immensely proud of this accomplishment. Achieving a 5-star rating across all of our homes is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff, whose daily commitment ensures a safe and hygienic environment for our residents. This success reflects our group’s dedication to quality and resident care.”
Group Managing Director, Dr Gavin O’Hare-Connolly also stated “I am delighted to see every single service across our group achieve the highest level of EHO rating. We place huge emphasis on both food standards and presentation and wish to extend my genuine thanks to all our hospitality teams across the group for their exceptional standards in delivering for our residents.”
Runwood Homes Group takes great pride in upholding safe, hygienic kitchens that offer residents high-quality meals in a secure environment. The consistent 5-star EHO ratings reinforce the group’s commitment to excellence and are a true reflection of the strength of leadership and teamwork across all levels of the organisation.
As a leader in care provision, Runwood Homes Group remains dedicated to maintaining these high standards and to continuing to provide residents with high-quality care and service.
