According to his Facebook account, Mr Cinnamond said: ‘People need to see this. This is what my grandmother got for her Sunday dinner. £600 per week. For a woman that’s worked all her days and has now ended up in care home to be fed like a dog!
‘Not only serving this but the fact it was freezing on arrival!
‘There’s one thing my grandmother isn’t, a dog, nor will (she) be fed like one.
‘Am just glad now I was there this evening to see for myself. I am really upset with the care my grandmother is getting.’
The Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority launched in investigation following the complaint.
According to a statement to The Sun: ‘On receipt of these concerns, RQIA immediately followed up this matter with management at Cregagh Care Home. RQIA’s inspector for this service was advised that patients at the home were served a hot roast dinner on Sunday lunchtime.
‘At the evening mealtime on Sunday, patients were able to make an independent choice from a menu, which included corned beef and baked beans.
‘Every nursing homes is required to cater to the dietary requirements of a wide range of patients, including those with diabetes or requiring a soft diet, and menus for every meal must reflect these needs.’
