About
Alma McFadyen is a dementia care home in Dalbeattie, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, with 24 registered beds. It is regulated by the Care Inspectorate, which graded how well people's wellbeing is supported and how well care and support is planned as Very good, and the setting, staff team and leadership as Good.
The home's recent news describes a community-minded setting. Residents took part in a garden party to mark the Queen's 90th birthday, with a visit from the local fire brigade, stalls, a barbecue and a tea party held in a dining room set up as a vintage tea room. The sum raised went to the residents' comfort fund. A monthly sing-along, arranged by Alzheimer's Scotland, takes place at a local church, and residents have also visited a nearby hotel in Dalbeattie. Residents have helped staff plant herbs, plants and sweet peas in the home's gardens, which have been tended by the maintenance team.
