My husband receives good care and support at Albury Care Home. The staff are so caring and kind and to me also. Always a cheerful word and smile when I visit. Plus a hug and asked how I am, which is good. I feel they are looking after me as well. A nice feeling. My thanks to them all.
Reply from Harry, Deputy Manager at Albury Care Home Ltd

Thank you for the kind words. It is a pleasure to be looking after your husband and to maintain a welcoming environment for every visit.

I have been visiting a resident of Albury Care Home for 4 years. Over that time I have always received a warm welcome. My friend is very happy to be living at Albury House where he feels safe and the room he occupies is spacious, well appointed, warm and comfortable. The overall standard of cleanliness
in the Home is 100%. Meals are of good portion and appetising and there is always a choice of menu. My friend receives first class care and friendship from the staff. Management are always approachable. All in all Albury Care Home has a happy family atmosphere.

Albury is a very caring, professional and friendly care home. Always a warm welcome on arrival when visiting.
The level of care is excellent, with nothing too much trouble.
In particular, the health and well-being needs of my mother are attended to very quickly, with prompt medical assistance if
required.
The food is also very good.
I completely recommend Albury.

My dad is very happy at Albury Care Home. The staff are caring and engaging. He is treated with care and respect, and it is not just a home, but he sees it as his home where he is safe. His room is lovely and big, but he prefers to spend his time downstairs participating in the activities. We particularly
like the fact that they have activities in the morning and later in the day.
Reply from Harry, Deputy Manager at Albury Care Home Ltd

Thank you for the feedback. It is a pleasure to be looking after Dad and being looked after by Dad as he often makes sure we are working hard in the office.

When entrusting my mother to Albury Care Home, I hoped to find staff who showed empathy, patience, warmth and professionalism. I found all these qualities and more. She is looked after by a very good and well-managed team of carers, and this shows in the contentment of the residents and the homely atmosphere.
The staff are friendly and concerned, working hard to make life as enjoyable as possible, and my mother is reassured by all the attention she receives.

My mother is always well cared for. She has been a resident since Aug 2015 and over the years her needs have changed due to her deterioration of temperament. The Care Home has a warm and homely feel, nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

Thank you for being supportive and always involved in mum's care. We look forward to your weekly visits.

Staff always cheerful and welcoming, even without prior warning of my visit. Mum very happy and settled, and appears to be quite a character around the house seeming to have a good relationship with staff. Never mentions that she wants to go back to her previous residence, only to visit my home to see
family, but after a short visit to us, requests to go back to Albury House. I know she is safe and looked after.
Reply from Natasha Doorga, Operations Manager at Albury Care Home Ltd

Thank you for the kind words. Happy to know mum finds Albury her home. Her wicked sense of humour keeps us all entertained.

Although only a resident for a short time, we were delighted by the care our mother receives while at Albury Care Home. The staff were always warm, welcoming and I feel my mother was in the best place she could have been. Attention to her needs was always met and I felt she was happy to be surrounded
by people to keep her occupied and engaged. Something she'd much missed before, living on her own.

My mother was a resident for 5 years and 3 months and was always very well cared for, serene, contented and happy there.
She had a stroke in June 2019 aged 101 and remarkably made a partial recovery and survived until Oct 25th. During this time the family was particularly impressed with the additional
care and attention received and with much affection. She was always closely monitored particularly in the final few weeks when she was on end of life care.

My father was asked to leave his last care home because he wandered at night and had a high risk of falling.
Albury Care home were aware of these problems when he became a resident 12 weeks ago. The staff have worked tirelessly with him. He is far better at night and more self-assured on his feet.
The staff and management are caring and supportive and extremely patient. They have encouraged independence and he is very happy there. The activities coordinator, in particular, is wonderful. It is overall, a lovely environment to live in.

Our step-uncle has been a resident for over four years. The home has an aura of 'homeliness' and over time the care our uncle has received has been tailored to meet his changing requirements. He has never shown any signs of stress or discomfort and, having a reasonably stable staff group, the interaction
is personal, very caring and friendly.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.318)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.318) out of 10 for Albury Care Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.809 for Albury Care Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.809
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.509 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Albury Care Home Ltd is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.909
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
