I want to highlight the magnificant work that is carried out by Kerry. She has got the kindest attitude and biggest heart. She does her job with the outpost dignity and goes beyond the call of duty - I cannot praise her enough. A massive thanks also to the wonderful success for the Macmillan cake sale and for a brilliant quiz evening on the 9/10/26.

Recently visited both of my parents from overseas. They have been in the Albany care home for 15 months. Found them both being extremely well cared for. My Dad was very underweight on admission and has gained at least 12kg (which he needed to). Mum has severe Alzheimer's and her care is kind and compassionate. They get her out of her room as often as possible.
Thank you Paula for the feedback. It was really nice to see you again. the team at Albany works hard to deliver best possible care to each of our residents. thank you for observing and understanding their efforts.

My stepmother is happy and well cared for at the Albany. All her needs are taken care of and her health is reviewed regularly. Not enough information was given to us about the facilities and building when she moved in as a permanent resident. This could be improved. When she moved in the matron said she would be allowed alcohol in her room but it was taken away. She could have alcohol in her room so she knows it's available and then the staff could then let her have it. Lots of varied activities are available but can be difficult for new residents to mix. More encouragement should be given.
Hi Hillary, thank you for the feedback. Apologies that you felt that we have not kept on our words that was promised. As agreed until last year summer, mum did have the agreed arrangement of alcohol in her room. However this could not be continued as mum was consuming bigger amounts when she been...
Hi Hillary, thank you for the feedback. Apologies that you felt that we have not kept on our words that was promised. As agreed until last year summer, mum did have the agreed arrangement of alcohol in her room. However this could not be continued as mum was consuming bigger amounts when she been visited by a friend of her and this was impacting the effectiveness of medications mum is prescribed. Hence this had to be removed for best interest and safety of both mum and the friend who appeared to be disoriented every time she left the home. we have introduced a resident information guide in month of November, 2025 in each room which details about all the facilities and staffs. Regarding encouraging mum , each time she is encouraged to join the activities, its her preference o stay in her room, we will work on it further to ensure mum is joining the activities. please feel free to contact us so we could discuss this further.
My Aunt is very well looked after and has many social opportunities to attend and be part of. Well done to everyone!

It is a warm community of caring people, where residents are treated with care, compassion and kindness. I would recommend you check our Albany if you are looking for the right place for a loved one.

I can't praise The Albany enough and the kindness. For the month of January. There are many memorable scenes that I have witnessed. Saturday cinema with the lights dimmed is an incredible treat and a joy to be part of. Then I witnessed a scene whereby the chef and care staff were playing monopoly with the residents, this is about The Albany being a real home. My mother started pointing and counting and people just join in dementia is enveloped treated with respect and my mother is finally settling in. Our fractured family is mending again. The Albany supports the whole family.
Thank you for the kind feedback Susan. We are working hard not only to provide person centered care to our residents but also to the extended family too as we are aware that support and care is mutual and holistic. hope you have a good break.

It is well equipped with modern furniture. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The first visit was in the morning and we were both offered coffee.

My first visit to this lovely home. I was very impressed. We went for a relatives meeting and sat in the dining room. The other relatives we met all helped at the home, one way or another. The tables were laid like an expensive restaurant. The home is being decorated and is light and bright.. The staff are warm, friendly and caring, even to visitors, and striving to be better. Some residents were watching the tv in the lounge. My sister-in-law was comfortable in her room.
Thank you Jill for the lovely feedback. It was nice to see you and great to have you during the relatives meeting. We thrive to provide our residents high quality person centered care. Feedbacks are a way forward for us to improve our services.
