Our Philosophy of Care

We believe in providing the highest levels of personalised clinical care and attention, but Green Tree Court is not ‘clinical’. It doesn’t feel like a hospital and is profoundly different to the majority of care homes you might have encountered. Instead, we’ve considered what’s important in a home; paying particular attention to furnishings, décor, and above all, the atmosphere. When you step through our doors, you’ll feel like you’ve walked into a friendly boutique hotel where outstanding clinical care is always available.

Our Philosophy of Care is to provide a luxurious, stimulating, safe and caring environment that will meet the individual clinical, physical and emotional needs of our residents who are encouraged to maintain their independence.
