Review from L T (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother and father are both residents at Albion Lodge in Hanley Swan.
My sister and I are delighted with the care they receive. The staff are genuine and very kind to my parents.
My father has been particularly unwell recently and staff responded quickly to ensure that he had a necessary medication and equipment needed for his particular condition.

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.

Review from Kate H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from J S (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

My mother spends time in Albion Lodge for respite care when I am away during the year. We are always greeted by a friendly face who remembers mum and welcomes her back like one of the family.
The staff are kind,caring and always make time to chat.
The rooms are spotless and pendant alarms are available if needed, there are a variety of activities to join in and mum particularly enjoys the with activities with James.
Lindsay the manager is so professional and lovely and I have no worries when leaving mum in her care.
I would highly recommend Albion Lodge

Review from Catherine F (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Cristian C (Solicitor of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As part of my job I visit many care homes and I can say wholeheartedly that the staff at Albion Lodge are the kindest and most professional in the business.

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.

Review from Sandra C (Next of Kin) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A cousin of mine has been a resident of Albion Lodge since May this year. His remaining family, including ourselves, live quite a considerable distance away from him, so most of my contact with him is by telephone.

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.

Review from S S (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been in Albion Lodge for a year and could not be happier. Although it had been her own decision to make the move, she had been a little unsure about leaving her home and possessions. However, she was made to feel that she was welcome to make her room exactly as she wanted it, and we were given help to move furniture and personal possessions around until she felt it was right for her.
During this year there have been virtually no changes of staff and this consistency helps residents to feel very settled. The staff are all as kind and caring as one would hope for.

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

Review from D S (Friend of Resident) published on 11 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My very dear elderly friend moved to Albion Lodge in 2021 as she was unable to stay in her own home with out care, this was only meant to be a 2 week rest bite, from day 1 she was made to feel part of the Albion family and decided she wanted to move in permanently, all the staff are friendly and care for the residents as if they are their own family, as a visitor I was welcomed with smile's and made very welcome, what ever time of day or night I visited.

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Jane G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Our 96 year old mother moved into Albion Lodge a year ago. She chose this home after several day visits and a week's respite. From the day she moved in she has felt confident that she made the right decision.
The staff are wonderful and make her feel as if she is part of a warm and caring family there.
Her condition has deteriorated in recent weeks following a short hospital stay, and staff have adapted to her increasing needs and are keen to help her in whatever ways best suit her.

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

My mother has been living at Albion Lodge for 10 months, and received a very warm welcome immediately. The retirement home has a friendly, warm and inclusive atmosphere, and the care that my mother has received has been excellent.

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.

I moved into Albion Lodge on 4th Jan 2020 and have been here for 5 years.

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

Overall Experience

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.

Hello, I’m Lindsay,

I’ve been passionate about providing care for over 20 years and have been part of the team at Albion Lodge Retirement Home since 2016.

Albion Lodge offers comfort, care, and independence in a beautiful countryside setting. We have accessible gardens, a hair salon, treatment rooms, and an exercise room.

We offer a range of ensuite rooms across three lift-accessible floors, most with wet rooms and all with lovely views. Each floor also has an accessible bath for a safe and relaxing experience.
