We specialise in older person care, residential care and respite care, and we work hard to ensure that the support we offer fits around each resident rather than the other way around. Life here is built around the people who live with us. We get to know their routines, their preferences, their histories and their personalities, because good care starts with genuine understanding. Our team are caring, attentive and consistent, which we know makes a real difference to residents and their families. Families often tell us that what they value most is being kept in the loop and feeling confident that their loved one is in safe hands. We take that responsibility seriously and try to build open, trusting relationships with everyone connected to Alma Green. We are pleased that our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of good, which reflects the effort our team put in every single day. But we never stand still. We are always listening, learning and looking at how we can do things better.
