No freezer allowed

Does this seem odd? There's nothing we can do about it but just wondering.

Ds is in supported accommodation /semi independent. For people with mental health issues.

His own bathroom and his bedroom with a kitchen it has everything from a cooker/oven which is not allowed . But it has a microwave and hes allowed to get an air fryer.

He has a fridge but no freezer . And hes not allowed to get his own. That seems a bit odd to me it means he cant store food for longer periods. Stuff can go off faster that equals food waste and spending more money on food.

It is really a safety thing. You can't enforce a "new items only" rule, and especially since Grenfell, responsible supported living landlords are really nervous about items that are a known fire risk - I suspect he couldn't have his own washer/dryer either, for example.

Cooked meat will last for 5-7 days in the fridge, if he prefers purchasing fresh meat. So he can cook it when he gets it, and then refrigerate it as needed.

Purchasing frozen fish and allowing it to defrost in the fridge will mean it keeps for slightly longer - you should get an extra day.

I think also they are only meant to be temporary places to live - gives something to aim for.
