Responses from elderly homes

To ensure care homes were enthusiastic about our ideas, we reached out to approximately 25 care homes to ask what they thought of our ideas and whether they would be interested in implementing such a service into their care home. While most care homes did not reply to our email, we were happy to find that the care home that did reply liked our ideas.  

​

Three care homes mentioned they already have kitchen garden tables. Together with the enthusiastic responses of the care homes without the tables, we can state that many care homes will be interested in our service. However, we have to keep a close eye on the competition and we have to make sure we offer a unique service which will keep the care homes from investing in kitchen gardens themselves.
