Everyone from the manager down, went out of their way to make us feel 'at home' and we felt welcome to visit unannounced, at any time of the day or night. It was a very positive experience.

My mum is well cared for. She enjoys the activities which are very stimulating. She likes joining in with things but finds the giant scrabble too difficult to follow. She enjoys the food, she especially likes the trips out and even gave swimming a try recently but found the water a bit cold. She is generally happy and contented.
The home provides mum with all her needs with dementia. They look after her very well.

Have just been to visit my mum with my father and daughter - dad was able to have his hair cut which was lovely for him to be fussed over. Mum was in bed but was clean and had obviously had her hair brushed and looked comfortable and when mentioned she needed changing it was done instantly....
Everyone is always really friendly and helpful to all of us and nothing is too much trouble for them. They make a fuss of my dad too, which he loves!!!
My husband has severe dementia, he attends day care 3 times a week, he is well looked after, fed and given drinks. The staff also bath him each day as I am unable to now. The staff try to include him in activities but this is normally unsuccessful as he in uncooperative. he goes to The Aldbury...
My husband has severe dementia, he attends day care 3 times a week, he is well looked after, fed and given drinks. The staff also bath him each day as I am unable to now. The staff try to include him in activities but this is normally unsuccessful as he in uncooperative. he goes to The Aldbury willingly each time and appears to enjoy it very much, he does not have the ability to talk now so I have to go by his moods. (happy/angry etc)

I/we visit mum at least once a week and have been very impressed by the high standard of care. I have witnessed several specific incidents where carers have been very, very quick to attend to any disruptive behaviours. There is a lot of care to preserve the dignity of the residents and generally good communication to let relatives know if there are any particular incidents or concerns.

My father spent his final weeks of his life at The Aldbury, as a family it was a very significant step moving into residential care for both him and my mother, however it was made as easy as possible with the help and support from staff. My father had no verbal communication, however every effort was made to accommodate this including a staff member devising a simple communication tool. Initially there were a few little difficulties but these were resolved with discussion with the family to seek a way forward in a constructive and sympathetic way. My father spent his last birthday and Christmas at the home, we valued very much the opportunity to enjoy a private family birthday meal in the coffee shop a treasured memory for us all and his final day we cannot thank staff enough for their compassionate support and the peaceful environment provided for him to slip away.
Excellent care home. First class carers/staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Residents are looked after extremely well and made to feel at home.

My dad was a resident at The Aldbury from November 2013 to October 2015 when he passed away. Dad was admitted initially as an urgent case to provide respite care for my mum, we hadn't had time to do any research, but it quickly became clear we had got the best home possible for dad. All the carers are completely dedicated and provide a personal service, bespoke to the individuals, caring and compassionate. This applies to everyone at the home, managers, nurses, cooks, cleaners and receptionists, nothing is too much trouble. Every resident is treated as an individual. Similar care was displayed to my mum when she visited. Dad was very content and happy and we are very grateful he spent his last months here.
My brother-in-law moved to The Aldbury in July after being in two other nursing homes. From the start the dedication of all the staff was clearly evident and he settled in very quickly. Nothing is too much trouble, each person is treated as an individual and their needs are met with respect...
On a personal note I would like to thank the staff for the support given to me and my husband. We are always made to feel welcome from the time we sign in at the reception desk to the time we leave and we would recommend this home to anyone.
