"The Nutmeg system has generated a lot of excitement and renewed our enthusiasm for food, which can only be a good thing for our service users. At the same time the system clearly demonstrates our market leading approach to ensuring all of the various nutritional guidelines are met."
John Murphy, Chief Operating Officer, Southern Cross
NMP Gold, Nutmeg's bespoke program for care homes, was one of the first menu-planning systems the company developed and is now a market leader. Designed for older people and people with dementia in residential and nursing homes NMP Gold includes a database of more than 1,600 recipes designed and analysed by qualified dietitians. All recipes reflect the nutritional requirements of this age group whilst ensuring they can be served with the variety and 'treats' that they enjoy.
Included with this program is a wealth of information and tips about the different needs of older people, in particular those with dementia and eating difficulties.
Ideal for catering professionals, menus can be planned and balanced time-efficiently with any imbalances identified and remedies suggested.
