Albert House is a residential care home which aims to provide its service users with a secure, relaxed, and homely environment in which their care, well-being and comfort are of prime importance.
Caregivers strive to preserve and maintain the dignity, individuality and privacy of all service users within a warm and caring atmosphere, and in doing so will be sensitive to the service users ever-changing needs. Such needs may be medical, therapeutic, cultural, psychological, spiritual, emotional and social, and service users are encouraged to participate in the development of their individualised care plans in which the involvement of family and friends may be appropriate and is greatly valued.
A dedicated GP from the local surgery conducts regular reviews and visits within the home, chiropodists and opticians visit regularly too. The hairdresser visits twice weekly and provides a valuable pampering service.
The kitchen provides delicious food with the emphasis on traditional cooking and home baking using the best seasonal and local produce available. Chefs produce specialist diets on an individual basis.

The staff are all very friendly and have the interest of residents at heart. There are lots of activities going on giving enrichment to all the residents. Lounge areas are spacious and airy with busier and quieter areas. Communication between staff is good, they typically know what's happening without having to speak to a senior member of staff.
Thank you for your valued feedback I will pass onto staff your comments

Dad had been a resident of Albert House since July 23. He settled in straight away, he seemed very happy at Albert House, as he always wanted reassurance that he could stay there, we felt he was always treated very kindly and with dignity, he enjoyed the food and activities they did, the management and staff at Albert House are amazing, so patient and kind to everyone, unfortunately Dad passed away on the 23/12/25, but he passed away at Albert House, surrounded by care and compassion, which was a comfort.

All the staff are welcoming and show empathy and care to everyone. Albert House feels like a 'home from home', with comfortable lounges and a sunny courtyard.
Their expert guidance and proactive action are making positive improvements to mum's overall health, which is great to see.

It's not the poshest in the area BUT the staff and management are wonderfully warm and caring and that, in my view, is more important. It's clean, cosy and has a lovely family atmosphere. Residents are well cared for, respected and treated to delicious home cooked food and cakes every day (Dad has a particularly sweet tooth so this is important!!) I know that my parents are safe and in the best possible hands.
(My only slight niggle is that their belongings do tend to go missing but I guess that's par for the course with so many people to look after and I know the staff do their best, even though they are stretched at times.)
Never thought we would have both mum and dad with us , thank you for entrusting the care of both your parents with us and thank you for being part of our Family.

Thank you for the review , its lovely when families come in and treat our home as you would if you were visiting your mum at her home ,your part of the Albert House family now.
While our mum was in your care, you gave us security that she was in good hands. As well as giving her the opportunity to have lots of enjoyable moments.

While our mum was in your care, you gave us security that she was in good hands. As well as giving her the opportunity to have lots of enjoyable moments. As a home, everyone showed genuine compassion and care, not just to my mum but other residents. Her room was also welcoming, tastefully decorated and even had a good view. Clearly, management and staff work as a team.
Thank you for your kind words ,we miss mum and her purple handbag.
I have no problems with leaving a glowing review for Albert House. My wife is treated as a person with feelings and she is treated with love. I know that when I leave my wife in the care of the home, she will be cared for with respect.

I am writing this review to highlight the excellent care and attention that my godmother has received at Albert House Residential Home. The whole staff are excellent, supportive and caring. For the 3.5 years that my godmother has been in their care, I couldn't have wished for a better overall experience for her. I would definitely recommend Albert House to anyone who is looking for full-time care for their relative.
Thank you for your kind comments, this means a lot to myself and the team.

Thank you for letting us care for your mum, she is such a character.
I have occasionally felt like staff are a bit stretched although, unfortunately, this seems to be the case in most professions nowadays.

Albert House has been my mum's home for four years. Since her Alzehimer's diagnosis, the care she receives from the manager and her team is excellent. Whatever time of day we visit, Mum is clean, comfortable and very well cared for. The home is a very happy place. They have partied on a regular basis with entertainment, and the residents love them. All the food is homemade.
This is one amazing care home. The staff, including management, all are just unbelievable. I have not had a lot of experience regarding care homes but if they are all as good as this one, wow!

My mum has been a resident for over eight months. The care she has received has been nothing but excellent. Albert House Residential Home is more than a residential home, it is one big, caring family. The staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble. My mum has been very happy here. The support both my sister and myself have been given, as Mum's condition changes, has been amazing. The manager and staff... you are all one in a million!

My mum went to Albert House for the final year of her life having lived 'independently' (with a lot of family support) in her own flat. Though physically frail and starting to suffer from dementia, she was nevertheless very strong-willed, determined and highly resistant to being 'assisted'. No care home could have coped with her better and worked with her personality as well as the staff and management, always with good humour and genuine care and affection for her. The home is not modern, though that is one of its strengths and there is a sense of family between the staff and residents. As a family, we are so grateful for the care she received.
