Review from Victoria H (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum is currently a resident at Albemarle care home. The home is lovely and clean and there is always plenty of staff on hand to help. The staff are all lovely and I find them to be very caring. I was worried about putting Mum into a home but I feel much happier because she is here. It is also very secure and as Mum has a tendency to wander this puts my mind at ease.
↩Reply from Jessica Costa, Manager at Albemarle

Review from Julie W (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 March 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Albermarle has gone above and beyond for both my parents. Dad passed away in December 2023 after 2 1/2 years in their care, he wasn’t the easiest and knew exactly what he wanted and kept everyone on their toes. The staff were always patient with him even when he pressed the emergency button for a chocolate bar, well it was an emergency to him I suppose. Mum is currently in Albermarle and the care has been amazing. Everyone is really caring and goes above and beyond. The manager has been amazing too and her door is always open if you need to chat and quick to action on any concerns. Thank you for the excellent care and support not only to my parents but to me as well. What a fantastic team.

Overall Experience
Whilst my Mum was a resident of Albemarle she was treated with care and dignity by all the staff.
We found the residents were kept safe and well cared for. The home is very secure.
There were always plenty of drinks and snacks offered to the residents in between meal times.

Background music is played in the reception area which is really nice for people with Dementia and TV lounges where friendships are made with other residents.

Thank you very much for your kind review which we appreciate very much. It was an honour for us to support your mum.
