Albion Lodge Retirement Home

Thanks to all the staff at Albion Lodge

My mother is very well looked after by the kind and thoughtful staff. She is encouraged to be as independent as possible while supported in a safe environment. The atmosphere is friendly and the weekday activities are enjoyable.

My mum has been at Albion Lodge for the past 8 weeks, and I couldn't be happier with the care she is receiving. The staff are all incredibly kind, friendly, and approachable, and they have made both my mum and our family feel very welcome and supported. Within just a few days, I had complete confidence that her medication was being managed properly, which was a huge reassurance for me. The home itself is beautifully decorated, clean, and comfortable, and is a really lovely environment for residents. There are activities twice a day during the week, which is fantastic. My mum especially enjoys the quizzes with James, which she always looks forward to. The food has been excellent, with a good variety and something different offered each day, which my mum really appreciates. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with Albion Lodge and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a caring and supportive environment for a loved one.

My mum spent the last two years of her life in Albion Lodge, she was a strong character who didn't easily accept the need for care after a very independent retirement. However, the staff at Albion Lodge had just the right level of care and attention needed. From the outset they treated my mum as an individual, listening to her every request and responding with empathy and professionalism. The whole team at Albion Lodge are awesome. Towards the end of my mum's life I was made to feel as though they were an extended family, nothing was too much trouble. I hugely recommend Albion Lodge, I'm just so glad we picked it for my mum.

Review from Mandy

I recently visited Albion Lodge for the first time - I had not had the opportunity to see my Dad here as I live overseas. I had the most lovely visit meeting the owners Sarah and Andrew, i chatted to Lindsay the care manager and also one of the care workers Angela. It was heartwarming to hear how they not only know all my Dad's characteristics and traits, but how they showed so much care and love for him.

Thank you Albion for creating this homely and warm environment for Dad - all his children live overseas and seeing what a beautiful home-from-home place he lives in, has been very good. We so appreciate all that you do for him.

I have had many dealing with Lindsay and have experienced her go above and beyond for the residents; she has treated them as if they were part of her family. Her sensitivity, dedication and commitment is a credit not only to the Home but to the care profession as a whole.

We have made 2 visits to Albion Lodge, and have always received a warm welcome by all members of the staff. My cousin has settled in, and all his needs are met by the caring staff. I believe there are lots of activities for all the residents. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. I can always have a chat to my cousin, and if there was a problem, I know that I would be contacted immediately. I am so relieved that he is a resident in this exceptional and lovely Home, especially being so far away from him. Full marks to all of the staff.

My mother enjoys many of the activities that are on offer, and really appreciates the beautiful gardens and surroundings.

My mother has been a resident at Albion Lodge for almost 3 years. She has a lovely room with amazing views looking out to the main garden.

The staff are all so friendly and caring and deliver an exceptional service to all the residents.

The Home itself has been modernised with a lovely dining room, entrance hall and includes a hairdressers.

Im so pleased that we chose Albion Lodge for my mother.

Nothing is ever a problem, my friend enjoyed the entitlement, keep fit, games and trips out from the home, engaging in as much as she could. The staff provided the company and the care that she needed going the extra mile at all times.

My mum needed to move and decided that Albion Lodge would be ideal for her with the companionship she loves but still keeping her independence. She has now been at Albion Lodge for 5 years and finds the owners and the staff very friendly and supportive. She also enjoys the community spirit and many of the activities that take place, which keep her very busy and stimulated.

My dad was very unenthusiastic about moving into a care home however now he is always telling me how safe and well looked after he feels at Albion lodge.

Mum enjoys the activities and classes on offer to residents which are varied and fun. She finds the food good and plentiful.

There is a good range of activities throughout the week, catering for all abilities and interests. As my mother nears her 100th year, I can't imagine anywhere nicer for her to live.

Since then, I have enjoyed the atmosphere created by the carers, who often have to tolerate my strange sense of humour.

My father has been a resident for 6 months. The level of care provided is first class. The staff are professional, caring and provide all of the required assistance my father needs. The cleanliness and facilities are also first class. There is never an aroma that is sometimes evident at other homes and the residents are all happy, clean, tidy and treated with respect. My father also thoroughly enjoys the food. Our family has been very pleased with all aspects of the home and I would not have any hesitation recommending it.
