Within the home are 62 en-suite bedrooms, with each room fitted to a high class standard including a 24-hour carer call system, walk in chair assisted shower room, a relaxation therapy room, hair and beauty salon and landscaped gardens. Qualified catering staff will prepare freshly cooked food in a new professional kitchen, using locally-sourced fresh produce to produce nutritionally balanced, delicious meals.
At the heart of Avante Care and Supports work is its Philosophy of Care, where social interaction and engagement are encouraged to help eradicate any feelings of loneliness, helplessness and boredom. Puddingstone Grange will ensure that residents get the care and support they need to develop interests and hobbies within the care home and provide many opportunities to meet and make new friends.
Avante Care and Support have a dedicated, well trained, workforce, who understand and work to shared values, which is at the heart of good care. They understand dementia and are there to support the families as well as the residents.

Mark Lloyd, Chief Operating Officer says; “Avante Care and Support understands the importance of a good environment for residents living with dementia, that a good care home should be vibrant, fun and busy just like the lives we would all choose for ourselves when living in our own homes. We know that a great building is an added luxury but it is what goes on inside that matters and the new care centre in Greenwich is no exception.”
