The staff were so kind to my partner (and me). Thanks Naomi for sorting out transport for partners hospital appointment and to all that looked after him on his day when Unfortunately he was readmitted to hospital. They were even kind enough to store his belongings until they could be collected.
The kitchen staff were kind enough to come up with meals that were best for his special dietary needs
Very secure home as both front door and front gate were on keypad access only
Minor Criticism - maybe all rooms should have bathrooms and sometimes difficult to find someone to let you out.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a kind review and sharing your experience. We understand that this was a difficult time for you and your partner, and we are so pleased that our team could offer care and support when it was needed most. Your lovely comments will be shared with the team, and we wish you all the very best for the future.
Having to place my friend into respite, while he waits for a placement in supported housing, we were both nervous about how he would find the experience. However Isaac listened to his concerns and his needs for independence and they were acknowledged. My friend likes the food, says the shower is...

As a senior carer in a home myself, i had to come in open minded to the fact that it was my family member who needed to be in a care home to be looked after.

Alban House have been welcoming and open in all aspects of Mums care and kept us up to date with any changes. I also feel extremely guilty not seeing her everyday but Alban House have supported My Dad and I through all this.
Mum is safe and well cared for in a caring environment we couldn't ask for more
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback, the home continues to go through a lot of changes and the team are working hard to provide the best care for all our individual residents.
Mum always says 'everyone is so kind' normally every time I visit. Since her arrival at Alban house approx 18 months ago she is happy and well looked after, which gives the family total peace of mind. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable.

On one of my visits in December mum was in her room knitting with the activities lady. This was so lovely to see as mum had always been a keen knitter and taught my sister and I when we were young. Nowadays this isn't something mum would do but with encouragement from the activities lady she was knitting away and chatting. A one to one session like this is just what mum needs from time to time.
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback, the home is going through a lot of changes and the team are working hard to provide the best care for all.

Having recently visited to see my father - I feel very comfortable and confident that he is with excellent carers and with those that care about his needs and wellbeing. It's a difficult time of year when loved ones can't be together - I know his needs are being met, that his welfare is adhered to, and all in all, peace of mind is given to us, his family. Many thanks to all.
My wife is quite happy in the home. Her only complaint is that she has no one to talk as most residents are in various stages of dementia whereas she can converse with most people. She is reasonably happy on her own.

The thing that strikes you about Alban House is how happy and inviting the staff are, hartley engage and relate to the residents. with respect, enthusiasm, patience and genuine warmth. There are much humour and laughter within the home and everyone's needs are catered for to the best of the homes sources and abilities. You are encouraged to visit family members whenever and as frequently as you desire, day or night. It is a very open and relaxed home with residents enjoying the company of staff members pets, who frequently spend time in the home. The managers/owners do an amazing job of welcoming new residents and supporting their families with the painful transition of moving a loved one into care. The home itself is beautifully appointed at the top of the hill with far reaching views out over the sea.
My husband has been there for just over five weeks, so I don't know much about the food or activities. I like what I see there is a good atmosphere and home from home. I can't fault it.

Cannot recommend 'Alban House' highly enough. The care of my wife over the last 5 years has been extremely high. All the carers and management at the home really do go the extra mile in ensuring that all their residents are treated with dignity and respect. They also do individual care and activities dependent on the resident's needs and personality. 'Alban House' is very much home from home. Thank you so much to you all.

Each resident is valued and treated with kindness and respect, even the difficult ones!! The care given to my father who has severe dementia has been amazing. We just can't thank the staff and owners enough for all that they do.
I think the food is very good. Everything I need doing is done. Including looking after my pet tortoise who lives here with me as we are a pair. The staff are very nice - all regardless of age. From the owner who is specially kind, good and knowledgeable. Everyone is very helpful.
