I always feel relaxed when I leave knowing my husband is well cared for. As a family, which includes very young children, we are always made to feel very welcome.

Having been involved with The Aldbury for the past three years, I have only good things to say about the home. The care my husband has received throughout this time has been excellent. The carers and nurses are always very caring and supportive. The standard of the food is excellent with a great deal of thought going into the menus. The home is spotlessly clean and never smells. The companion team do a fantastic job keeping residents stimulated, always being very inventive. I would strongly recommend The Aldbury for anyones loved ones living with dementia.
This is an extremely well run and friendly home. Visitors are always welcomed and as far as I am concerned, the level of care is excellent - thank you for all your hard work.

I am in the healthcare profession myself so am quite discerning about the standard of care. My mother in law was in The Aldbury for a short while (just under two months) but these were the happiest for her since being diagnosed with severe Alzheimer's. Every single member of staff looked after her...
We have only praise for the home, excellent staff and manager and would not doubt in recommending it to anyone. The best of the best.
My views on the home are positive. It is well equipped and to a high standard, offering excellent care and has an outstanding activity programme. It has been apparent very quickly that my aunt is flourishing in this environment and that the constant stimulation is having a positive effect on her...
Since my aunt’s arrival, I have had follow up conversations with the home and nursing staff. I have reviewed the initial care plan provided by the home and will continue to have an active role. I feel very fortunate to have found The Aldbury and would highly recommend this home to anyone else who is looking for respite or residential care for a relative / loved one.

Christmas Day at the Aldbury was exciting and a happy event. Father Xmas arrived handing out presents to the residents. The Christmas dinner meal got full marks. A real treat, followed by pudding with white sauce. All the staff were dressed up as elves. The Xmas crackers on the table, contained pens, keyrings etc., we all had gold hats on. A really enjoyable day, much happiness.

Ever since my grandmother moved into The Aldbury, she has transformed. All of the carers have treated her with, not just respect, but care, attention and compassion. My mother and I spent Christmas Day at The Aldbury, where we were met with mince pies followed by Christmas dinner. All of the staff made the day incredibly special for the residents and it was great to be able to enjoy the day all together. The Aldbury always go over and above to make everyone happy.
By far the best such home we know. A home from home.

I find the whole concept and atmosphere very good. The staff are always cheerful and caring for my wife and I. I always feel relaxed when I arrive and leave in a good mood. I think I would find it hard to better Aldbury in our area.

I am very impressed by the level of care that is provided for my mother. The home is very well run and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Her room is lovely and bright and overlooks the garden which is great. I would highly recommend The Aldbury to anyone.

The staff are wonderful, caring and can never do enough for everyone. We are always made welcome. My mother-in-law has improved considerably since coming here. I appreciate everything they do for her.

We needed respite for Mum. We wanted to go on holiday ourselves and we were unable to take Mum with us. We looked around many homes for respite for Mum who has dementia. I didn't want her sta in a chair in a circle with others watching TV. The Aldbury did not do this, the stimulation she got was...
We needed respite for Mum. We wanted to go on holiday ourselves and we were unable to take Mum with us. We looked around many homes for respite for Mum who has dementia. I didn't want her sta in a chair in a circle with others watching TV. The Aldbury did not do this, the stimulation she got was brilliant. From painting, knitting, cooking, singing, crafting, the list is endless. She was so well looked after, she had a brilliant holiday, so did we!
Extremely pleasant staff. Great care and feeling for patients.

The Aldbury right from the onset made me feel confident that they were able to cope with her complex and distressing needs. I can't thank them enough for everything so far in our journey together.
Positive, clean, caring, stimulating, environment. Staff attentive and prompt action. Respectful. Plenty of activity in the day, not patronising.

My father has been a resident for just four weeks and he has settled very well. The staff have been kind and supportive both to him and to all the family at a difficult time. The information and introduction to the home on our first couple of visits was excellent and comprehensive. So far, we feel confident we have made the right choice for our dad.
My mum was in The Aldbury almost 2 years. She's had lots of kindness, trips and activities and at the end very personal care. Staff were able to raise a smile from her even when she was very unwell and my sisters and I felt we could not have done better for her.

My father's health and well being has improved dramatically since becoming a resident at The Aldbury. He is able to walk around freely which he really enjoys. The staff are very kind and helpful and he receives great care from them. The catering side of the home is first class offering constant food and drink. The home is always immaculate and clean. Lovely to have the coffee shop if needing quiet time with a loved one. Such a relief to have peace of mind knowing that he is being looked after so well.
