Hi, my name is and I currently reside at at
and I’ve been happy to be talking to and we’ve been talking about what I might appreciate changing here in terms of for my choices and my lifestyle and there are two things that I’ve mentioned and the first is that I would like to have a space made available for me -to do some of my own cooking.
This is a Level 3 supported accommodation so I think all the meals and drinks are provided throughout the day, which has been good. However, being a qualified nutritionist and an interested chef, I would love to have the opportunity to do my own cooking at least once a week so I could buy my own ingredients and cook with them in a space that I wasn’t taking up the room of the current chef, but it was an area that I could go to pretty much any time of the day or night to do some cooking. I think that would just help my health status and my interest in cooking to continue.
As far as anything else goes, I’m not really complaining, but I would just like to suggest that I would like to have nicer toilet rolls delivered. Here currently we’re using a system called Livy and it isn’t very nice to have to use their paper because it’s very fine and very thin, so if ever that could change, I’d really appreciate it because it’s a day to day thing and it’s just one of those little things that can make a difference for you. If it’s a better. Quality product.
Those are the two things I just wanted to mention, otherwise I’m happy here. I hope to stay another couple of years most likely and the people here are good, the management and staff are nice, so it’s a good place to be.
I don’t mind this not being private and confidential, so you can use your name and if there’s anything else I can help you with. Please don’t hesitate to ask. Thank you.
