Alma McFayden House is a high-quality residential home for older people in Dalbeattie which is based in the heart of the town centre. It has excellent links with local transport routes and amenities and has a long history of providing care to older people in the local community.
Housed in a characterful historic building the home previously belonged to the town’s doctor, Alma. First opened as a care home in 1965, this residence has had a modern extension added since a local businesswoman bequeathed a considerable sum to the home in her will.
Today, this well-furnished and attractively decorated home has 23 bedrooms designed with both comfort and health and safety in mind. Highly compassionate and dedicated staff are selected by the home and trained to a high standard, promoting the dignity and respect of individuals at all times.
There are a variety of activities coordinated within the home, such as bingo, dominoes, card making and quizzes, with trips out organised daily.
A menu of healthy and delicious meals is prepared daily by the home’s chef. Individual dietary requirements are always considered.

Thankyou for your lovely comments. It is a pleasure looking after your mother in law.
From mum arriving at Alma on coming from hospital I have been impressed with everything. The welcome on her arrival was second to none. It was as if she'd been away for the day. Staff are all so friendly and approachable. Nothing a bother, long may this continue.

My father has been a resident at Alma McFadyen House for 1 year and 4 months. When he went into the care home he was made welcome by staff. He settled right in, he loves his bedroom, that overlooks the lovely garden, and staff brought him a bird feeder which is attached to his window as he loves to watch the birds. The staff keep the care home immaculately clean and dad is always dressed and turned out well. We feel the staff are like his extended family. The meals provided are tasty and they have a good choice. At the moment the cooked breakfasts are going down a storm! I'm so happy we chose Alma House for him, as I know he is very well cared for.
Thankyou so much for your lovely comment. It is a pleasure looking after your dad.
The staff here are amazing. Treated my mum with so much care, thoughtfulness and kindness.

Mum is so well cared for. At the moment the care home is so Christmassy and warm and welcoming. It's so friendly and Mum (who has advanced dementia) is telling us how happy she is here. We can visit anytime we want. They are so welcoming to us and know Mum's needs each day. Although Mum doesn't...
Mum is so well cared for. At the moment the care home is so Christmassy and warm and welcoming. It's so friendly and Mum (who has advanced dementia) is telling us how happy she is here. We can visit anytime we want. They are so welcoming to us and know Mum's needs each day. Although Mum doesn't leave the care home now, she is well-stimulated with all the activities and interaction with all the people around her and is left to sleep when she wants to or needs to. I'm so happy she is here at Alma KcFadyen House. It's the best.
Alma McFadyen Care Home is an excellent home. Cleanliness, staff, environment, food and activities are great. Couldn't recommend the home enough. Enjoy going about my day knowing I am safe and well looked after.

I am so happy that my mother in law came to live at Alma McFadyen House. We were all very concerned as to how she would settle in moving to a town as she has lived beside the sea most of her life.

I am so happy that my mother in law came to live at Alma McFadyen House. We were all very concerned as to how she would settle in moving to a town as she has lived beside the sea most of her life. The friendliness of the staff and the general ethos of the care home had her settling in within days. I feel that she sees this as her home. I would recommend this home to anyone.
I have found the staff to be helpful, polite, courteous and considerate. They know Mum well and understand her situation, likes and dislikes. They are always cheerful and positive and appreciate the different activities and events, and they work hard to include her. I know they listen to Mum and...

Visit approximately once a month, staff always pleasant and helpful. Mum content and well looked after. Staff put a great deal of thought into activities/decor for the home to give a homely atmosphere. Go out of their way to help with enquiries and concerns. Well informed.

The care team is of the highest quality. Their focus is entirely on the residents. Each of them is treated with patience and respect by all of the care and support team. I observed the manager draw out a resident who did not respond to others. The manager chatted to her encouraging her to relax and...
Problem; new upstairs rooms, there have been repeated issues with the toilets not flushing and the TVs having no reception. Please ensure all the garden seats are updated/clean during the summer.

Alma Mcfadden House is an excellent and outstanding care home. Since my mother has become a resident in November 2021, I have witnessed her receiving kindness and compassion from the staff. Also, her individual resident nursing care plan has been acted on. She always looks well dressed and her hygiene well attended to, nails, hair, etc. Mum is involved in her own decision-making regarding nursing care, nutrition, and involvement in activities. Covid has reduced activities in the home, always to be reinstated. The two episodes have been dealt with in an exemplary manner. Staff working overtime to ensure care is given. Communication and food are excellent. Home atmosphere and staff are excellent.
Thank you very much for your very positive review, your kind words are very much appreciated by the whole staff team. It is a pleasure to look after your mother.
