Meet The Manager
Simon Dixey is Home Manager at Alma Court Care Home.
Hi, my name is Simon, and I am delighted to be the home manager here at Alma Court.
I joined the Alma Court Family in 2015 and have over 24 years of experience in the healthcare sector. I first joined Alma Court as a Registered Nurse and have progressed within the company, proudly becoming the registered manager in 2020.
I would describe myself as someone who is kind and caring, who is hard working and has a positive attitude. In my spare time, I love spending time with my family, and watching movies and have recently started jogging.
I am proud of my career and the positive difference I have made in the lives of others and I look forward to welcoming you to our home.
Our home happily accommodates couples and companions who wish to remain together as they continue their care journey and make new memories side by side. Visit Cannock’s specialist dementia care home to meet our friendly Home Manager and wider team for a cup of tea. Alternatively, call us and we’ll be happy to talk you through the various facilities Alma Court Care Home has to offer, and discuss your specific care needs.
Dedicated, Specialist and Complex Dementia Care in Staffordshire
Alma Court care home in Cannock is situated in Heath Hayes, not far from the lovely countryside of Cannock Chase and the A460. Alma Court Care Home is a purpose-built specialist dementia care home. We recognise that moving into a strange home, away from familiar surroundings, can be stressful both for the dementia resident and their families, so we do our utmost to help our residents settle in as quickly and sympathetically as possible.
We understand that caring for people with dementia is hard (both emotionally and physically) for family, friends and caregivers which is why, at Alma Court Care Home, our residents are received with compassion and kindness. The care which we provide is delivered by empathetic and friendly staff, in thoughtfully designed surroundings. Concentrating on a holistic approach and offering individually tailored therapies, we help many residents with complex dementia needs live purposeful and happy lives.
All our bedrooms are spacious, bright and generously sized which gives plenty of space to add keepsakes and personal belongings. We encourage our residents to bring items from home, as the connection with their personal home can assist with dementia residents’ positive mental well-being.

To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

There are numerous lounges, decorated in soothing tones. One is fitted with a large screen projector for films, and is very popular with the residents. We are proud to have a unique, innovative and engaging sensory area, which delivers visual, touch and sound-based therapies — which is just as popular. We welcome the resources that the internet can bring to those with memory loss.

| Activities Are So Important |

There’s always something fun and engaging happening at our nursing home in Cannock. Our Well-Being Coordinators provide varied and stimulating activities every day, in both group and one-to-one settings. From arts and crafts to giant football exercise classes, pampering sessions to live entertainment and pet therapy, there is something for everyone to enjoy. It might only be a goal with a balloon ball, but it’s still satisfying! We also love to get out and about ourselves, and some of our favourite outings include visiting the local park for ice-creams and the local pub for lunch as well as regular trips to nearby Cannock Chase or further afield throughout Staffordshire. |
