Philosophy of Care | Care Home in Exeter

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.
