I arrived at the care home my first impression was amazing. Lovely, very clean and tidy, lovely staff. I would recommend your care home to anybody. Keep up the great work, may it continue for a long time.

From the first day my father spent at the home, the staff were incredibly attentive and...
My father's medical needs were met with thorough attention, and any concerns we had were addressed promptly. The staff also took care to ensure he was emotionally supported, with activities and companionship that helped him stay engaged. He particularly enjoyed his day trip to the Beaulieu Motor Museum.
Excellent care, very grateful.

My sister and I spent many months looking for a home for our father who has dementia. In total, we looked at 10 homes. The Aldbury was the second home we visited and we were always drawn back there. Our father has been there for almost four months and we are beyond satisfied with his care. It feels like our second home as everyone from the fantastic team to the manager welcomes us so warmly and Dad is superbly looked after.
We're so pleased to hear that The Aldbury feels like a second home and that your father is so well cared for. Your kind words mean a great deal to us, and I'll be sure to share them with the team. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Contact with me was good at all times...
Thoroughly recommend The Aldbury.
Thank you for sharing your experience of The Aldbury. We're so glad to hear that your wife received excellent care and that our team was able to provide a welcoming environment. Maintaining open communication is a priority for us, so we were pleased to spend time with you to ensure your wife's needs were met and any concerns were addressed. Thank you once again for your kind words.
The support that we had from The Aldbury in assisting this move was fantastic. They visited him in his previous setting and carried out a...
The staff are helpful, approachable, 'eyes on', professional and treat my Father with dignity. The home is clean, the food good. Both the Manager and Clinical Lead always have time for us. Their professionalism and care are exemplary and an absolute credit to the home.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We understand how moving can bring many anxieties, so we're delighted to hear that your father's transition to The Aldbury went smoothly and that he was able to settle in comfortably. From all the team at The Aldbury, thank you once again for your kind words.
Respite stay for medication review and care. Despite some initial concerns we were almost immediately relieved at the welcome received and the ability of the staff to act with ability in dealing with the symptoms of Alzheimer's, the various staff have a manner hard to explain but it shows that they...
Should you require respite care you would be hard-pressed to find better care.
Thank you for your review of The Aldbury. We're delighted to hear that our team provided a warm welcome and addressed any initial concerns you may have had. Ensuring our team is well-trained in dementia care is very important to us, so it's great to know that this was evident in your experience at our home. Thank you again for your kind words.
The home is always warm and welcoming. My wife has chosen to stay here due to the great care she receives. Staff are very kind and jovial. Activities are very good - involve my wife and just recently took her to a pantomime. They are now planning her 50th Birthday party.

My husband always enjoys spending the day at The Aldbury. He takes part in all the activities they provide, like chatting with the others, staff and residents alike. It is good that he has other company rather than just being with me at home. It gives me some respite too.

Overall, the experience we have had so far at The Aldbury has been excellent. I find all the staff friendly, enthusiastic, kind and caring, from housekeeping, entertainment and nursing through to management. The activities laid on for all the residents really help engage my husband, and I appreciate also being included in many of these, so I can see how everything works. The only area of concern is the rise in costs and as my husband can no longer go out on any trips and struggles with a lot of the activities, the value for money is a concern.

My mum has been at The Aldbury for ten months now and we have been so happy with the care given to her. The home itself is always spotlessly clean, the staff are incredible and show so much respect and kindness to the residents. My mum was very reluctant to move into a home but she is now so content and comfortable. The food is wonderful, especially the cake! She loves it!
My grandmother is very well looked after and the staff are amazing! I couldn't wish for her to be in a better place. As a family, it was a difficult decision to put my grandmother into a care home, everyone at The Aldbury made the transition so easy.

The staff are amazing and there to help if you are a resident or family, always smiling and friendly. I wouldn't have my nan anywhere else. Always plenty of activities and relatives.

My mum is so well cared for, it is so lovely to see her known by the staff and her needs understood and met. She is always dressed with care, engaged in activities, and she is enabled to live her best life that she is able to do. Thank you to all the staff at The Aldbury.

My mum has just passed away and spent the last year of her life at this wonderful care home. The staff were always helpful and friendly. There were activities every day and Mum got to do things such as dancing and gardening that she had been able to do when at home. An important thing for Mum was to look nice and having her hair done every week gave her such a sense of self-worth and respect.

When my parents reached the point of needing to move into care, it was a very stressful and worrying time. The staff at The Aldbury made the whole process as good as it possibly could be, showing understanding, professionalism and high levels of care and support for both my parents and us as a family. The home is bright, clean, positive and full of care and respect. The regular staff know my parents well. There is a wide range of interesting activities and outings and the food is fabulous home cooking, which my parents love. We have great communication with all the team; the nursing team have relieved us of so many worries and we feel confident that they are so well cared for both physically and emotionally. We particularly appreciate the person-centred approach and flexibility - enabling us to visit any time, share celebrations etc in what feels like a luxury home from home. We are constantly impressed with the quality of life The Aldbury has enabled my parents to achieve.

I am very pleased with how Mum is looked after at this care home and would recommend it to other families looking for dementia care for their relatives.
My mother has been at this care home for the last six months and has been happy there. I was concerned at first that she may have found it difficult, being the only ethnic person there, but they have shown her a great deal of care and affection; I actually think that she has taught them quite a few...
