Alba Rose

I think the day care is excellent value for money. Thank you to all the staff

My dad has been well looked after very happy with the level of care he get and always support me and tell me how he is when I'm not there. My dad is happy were he is so I know he's been looked after good.

Everything I want just have to ask & they get it for me. Always somebody there if I want them. Help me in every way. Room always tidy and clean. Always a choice at meal times.

First Class.

When it became clear after my dementia diagnosis that I would need full time care we visited a number of care homes, the result for me was a clear decision that Alba Rose was the place for me. Two years down the line I am still pleased I chose Alba Rose.

What strikes me most about Alba Rose is the staff. Without exception I have found it to be helpful, patient and long-suffering however exacting my requests. My room is larger then I had expected and with the sloping roof attractive. The view incorporating trees, rockery and three sheep adds to my relaxation. Although activities ratings is lower I do appreciate that with such disparity between patients, both physically and cognitively, this must involve a constant problem.

I visit a friend weekly and have done for the past 2 years. I help her with financial documents etc. I have always recommended Alba Rose to anyone as it is such a wonderful place and facilities.

I have been taking my husband to Alba Rose for the last six weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays. The staff are brilliant, helpful, caring and remember your name! The activities run by a particular staff member in the morning and afternoon are really good. Clients are not left on their own with nothing to do but sleep!

The care of the staff was 5 star, nothing was any bother to them. I had a lovely room, was very impressed with the care that was given to everybody.

The food seems very good, and although it is a small home, they appear to have activities most days.

I cannot praise Alba Rose and every single member of the team highly enough! My 93-year-old mother was reluctant to leave her own home, where she was struggling to manage, so we eased her into Alba Rose gradually with daycare and then onto being a full-time resident. Every single member of the team helped make this a fairly easy transition, and now Mum would not like to be anywhere else. She looks forward now to each new day and never feels lonely or isolated anymore, and, more importantly, for her and her family, she is and feels very safe. Who would have thought that at the age of 93, you can have a new lease on life... Alba Rose has made that possible!

I have been very pleased and impressed with the care and thoughtfulness shown towards my mother (Who passed away in Alba Rose in October 2022) and my father (still a resident and 95 years old) since they called Alba Rose home in December 2020. The management and all of the carers have shown wonderful patience, love and understanding to both of my parents. They have also shown tremendous respect and thoughtfulness and been helpful, without complaint, to both myself, my sister, and other relatives and friends who have visited Alba Rose. Communication is brilliant, and the attention to detail is faultless. My parents really could not have been in a better place.

I feel so blessed to have my precious mum close by and to know that she is content, safe and being well cared for and that I can see her whenever I choose.

Thank you to all the staff.

The food is brilliant and there is a broad programme of activities to appeal to all tastes and abilities. The grounds are lovely (but secure) and residents are encouraged to take advantage of them. Any medical issues are acted upon promptly. The management team is very hands-on and approachable; they know the residents as well as any of the other staff. Alba Rose is a small care home where all the staff, no matter what their role, interact with residents and relatives - nobody walks past without at least saying hello.

I am very happy with the care my mother is receiving from Alba Rose. The pleasant atmosphere in this home is very uplifting, the staff seem very caring and happy in their work. The residents have lots of activities to look forward to throughout the day as well as many outings. My mother has settled in very well and it is a joy to see her so happy. Well done to all the staff and thank you for the care you give to my mother.

Thanks also for the trips out arranged for the residents where their families are welcome to join them. We even had an afternoon in a local pub playing dominoes last week! It is lovely to see the residents enjoying a slice of normal life and it is also a boost for their families to join in.

My mother-in-law was only with Alba Rose for a week, so I only had three or four visits myself. But it seems like an excellent care home.

Thank you for being so flexible and helpful when were trying to sort care out in a hurry.

Reluctant resident transformed into a happy resident due to caring staff!
