Alma Court Care Home

Full tummies again today! Our residents absolutely love our meals out at The Winding Wheel. Always accommodating and always empty plates!

The warmer months are now upon us and with the season comes exuberant colour, a diverse choice of vegetables and a stunning variety of herbs. At Avery Healthcare, we insist our culinary teams utilise this fantastic opportunity and source ingredients from local suppliers so that residents can truly benefit from the freshest produce with consistently high quality. Get to know more about using summer vegetables in our latest Welcome Home magazine, here https://goo.gl/znnpqg

We had another great session yesterday with Fitnniss - Wellbeing in Care Richard got our ladies and gents motivated and moving!

On Monday 30th July 2018 we hosted Summer Cocktail Parties to celebrate all care sector workers who GO THE EXTRA MILE, raising funds for The Care Workers Charity
The Care Workers Charity (CWC) supports current, former and retired care sector workers (regardless of their roles) across the country who are going through tough times. They provide the rainy day fund for everyday heroes. We are very grateful for any support you can help us give to this very worthy charity.
Take a look at what we got up to here

Some of our ladies ventured out to the Cherished Coffee Shop this morning for tea and a cake! They were delicious and you will DEFINITELY be seeing us again!

Afternoon tea at Alma Court today, our chefs always strive to provide a lovely selection of cakes and snacks for our residents.

Today has been different for our residents. They enjoyed the mock-tails which were freshly prepared by the kitchen, we had peach citrus, hedgerow fizz and pomegranate mojito! We also walked our local area in recognition of the fantastic Care Workers Charity.

Don’t forget to join us today from 11am for some refreshing summer cocktails. We will also be taking a walk for the Care Workers Charity today, let’s donate guys!! To such a worthy cause!!

Friday 13th July saw 5 staff from Avery Group Support centre and 3 staff from our closest care home, @AmarnaHouseCareHome, complete @TheCareWorkersCharity Three Peaks Challenge in Yorkshire. The challenge is run over the three highest peaks in Yorkshire, all forming part of the Pennine range in the Yorkshire Dales National Park in South Yorkshire. In total the teams climbed over 5400 feet, walking 24 miles, collecting some wear and tear in doing so, but all are recovered now. As a team they have raised nearly £3000 for the charity! We are very proud to be a founder member of the Care Workers Charity as well as a gold sponsor.
The CWC’s Going the Extra Mile event on July 30th follows on from the successful Three Peaks Challenge. We will be supporting the CWC at our big Summer Cocktail Party too! We hope to see you there.

Last week our residents ventured out to Twycross Zoo . Some of our residents haven’t seen any of these animals in the flesh for years. It was a beautiful moment for us all seeing the expressions our residents faces throughout the trip. 🐅🦍🦒

We have a great relationship with our local The Winding Wheel, they’re always so accommodating to our residents needs 🍔🍗😊

Yesterday my Dad passed away in Alma Court, I can’t thank the staff enough truly amazing people and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sorry I don’t no names but caters Sue, Kirsty and nurse Tara and everyone who showed so much love and care��

When our Uncle Ken was no longer safe at home his social worker found a place at Alma Court for him, the situation we were in before was difficult and we were concerned about the sort of care he would get. We need not have worried, the staff are patient and caring, there is a comprehensive package of entertainment and frequent walks to feed the ducks and lunch at their local. There's a choice of sitting room if he wants company, alternatively, a spacious room should he want privacy. We can visit anytime and are made to feel welcome when we do, I have to say a big thank you to all the staff and management, what was a distressing situation is now a hundred times better.

My father (Frank Lewis) who was a resident of Alma Court, recently passed away at the age of 91 years. During the time he was a resident there, the professionalism and patience of the staff who looked after him was beyond reproach.

During his actual decline, I was at his bedside and I have to thank all the staff for their kindness and the lengths that they went to, to make sure his passing was comfortable and pain free. I have no absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alma Court to anybody looking for a good care home for their loved one.

My Grandad spent the last 6 months of his life at Alma Court, whilst there the staff were so kind and caring towards him, they treated him like family and were always so welcoming to us when we visited. He sadly passed away this week but during his end of life care the staff did all they could to ensure he was comfortable, they also supported us through the tough time and did anything they could to make it easier for us as family. Anyone considering a family member going there I would highly recommend them.

Thanks again to all the staff who supported us and my Grandad Roy.

It's so lovely to see people having so much fun and activities. I know Norman Jeffery and his wife Linda. She said to look on the Facebook and look at all the wonderful photos and I'm glad that I did. You are such kind and caring people. Norman used to come to sing and smile at Uttoxeter and he loved a good sing along and dance with us. Please give him my love. Best regards Glenda Jackson ÔøΩx

It is heart warming to see so many wonderful activities taking place at Alma Court that encourage interaction with residents. This is so important as it can trigger memories and bring a sense of happiness and fun for those taking part. To feel part of something gives self-worth. Well done to all the staff.

In my opinion my dad could not be better cared for the staff are caring thoughtful and make us very welcome when we visit . Thankyou everyone for all you do for my dad brian cockayne your all amazing

I would just like to thank all the staff at Alma Court for the wonderful support and care that my father has been given over the last four weeks. The staff and management are so approachable and I feel nothing is too much trouble. My father is very happy there so keep up the good work. Marie Atki

I work here and absolutely love it! Job satisfaction comes from the heart of Alma.

The care that is given to our residents is outstanding and can 100% guarantee that the love and person centred care that we offer is the key to our success <3

I started here on Monday 10th april, with another day and half this week of training having done three already. I have another 2 days training next week with 2 days induction in the unit itself. I am so far very impressed with the training we have already done. We have an excellent trainer who gives very lively, informative, enjoyable sessions. My feeling so far is that i am going to enjoy working here. Off duty done so that i know what i am doing for the next four weeks after this, better than going more or less week by week. Staff so far seem to be friendly and caring.

I recently started working at Alma Court as the Foot Health Practitioner and I can honestly say it’s an absolute pleasure! The standard of care that is given is outstanding and I could not be happier to work with them offering my services! You are all fantastic!

I have the great pleasure of dealing with the management staff at Alma Court on a day to day basis. They are all very friendly and supportive! Everyone I know that work at alma court can not fault the care staff, they are all very professional, hard working and have the residents best interest's at heart. I could not fault this home one bit! Keep up the good work! Tracy xx

I have been working at alma for three years now and to be honest I couldn’t see myself working in a more caring and friendly environment all the staff are friendly and the management team are always on hand to help no matter what the problem I couldn’t ask to work in a more professional and friendly place

I cannot thank the staff at Alma Court enough for the level of care and attention shown to my Dad Les Green over the last twelve months, it was second to none, You are outstanding. Sara, you are a fantastic Manager and have a wonderful team behind you. Everybody deserves the level of care my Dad had, it's a shame they don't all get it. So nice to see you today at the funeral. Thank you all so much xxx

I cannot recommend Alma court enough ,every single staff work so hard and are always pleasant and ready to help you .my dad Dennis has been there a few months now and the way he is looked after is second to none ,he’s always smart and lovely and clean and so happy that he gets involved in some of the tremendous activities they do .i would like to wish each and every one of you a happy Christmas and new year .thankyou for the way you look after my dad xx

I am so pleased with the care attention and love that is showed to my wonderful husband Trevor. The staff and nurses are so incredibly caring and look after every one of them with the utmost attention. Cannot thank them enough for all the time do. I feel so settled and content too. Thank you most sincerely. xxxx

Due to complete my time at Alma court soon. Every time I have visited I have been made to feel welcome by staff. Staff are always happy to assist each other and work together to meet the needs of the residents. Thanks for everything.

A family friend's father is in Alma Court and I just want to say I am really enjoying looking at the lovely photos and videos. The staff seem so caring and the residents appear to be looked after and cared for so well. Thanks to all the staff at Alma Court

Such a vast improvement since the change of ownership. My family and I love the fact that the residents are now being cared for in a more personal way. The regular staff are excellent, and I must say that if we have a concern, about John's health or otherwise, we contact the ward ,and the problems are dealt with , and explained to us straight away. (Unfortunately, management seem a little more elusive - usually on phone calls , and usually , when they hear it is Maureen Rushton calling, can't think why - ha ha ) , but always with the promises to ring back. I'm still awaiting at least 3 return calls, ) It is wonderful to see the pictures of the residents, being taken 'out and about', and enjoying the entertainment which is provided for them.Everyone seems to respond to music ! Thank you Gemma ! It is even more wonderful to see our loved ones participating ,and inter-acting with the carers.The carers genuinely seem to care for their charges, which can't always be easy.Most of all I thank them for the respect which they show our vulnerable loved ones. They deserve dignity ! Keep up the good work. Thank You. PS I've got my eye on you Ha ha xx PPS. Just a little complaint (well you didn't think you could get away scot-free did you - only joking !) Could you make sure John is always well dressed, .It was important to him before his' illness' that he was well groomed, along with accesories, watch, ring, tie etc. - oh ! and short sleeved shirts please.. xxxx
