My wife has had excellent care over the past 18 months. Dementia only worsens but the care increases. So why Alban Manor - simple - reputation, maintenance of standards, staff patient ratio is better than competition and Alban Manor has a garden!! This is so important as it breaks the mould of bed,...

This is the second time of using Alban Manor. First was 3 years ago. Lots of staff are still there so it was nice to have friendly faces. My Aunt is being well looked after. Grounds are nice to sit out in, rooms are bright and airy.

The level of care at Alban Manor is simply incredible. Every time I visit, I am bowled over by the sensitivity, compassion, generosity and understanding afforded to our mother who is suffering from Alzheimer's. It is a warm and welcoming place where every smile is genuine and every effort made to make the residents feel safe and calm. The facilities are impressive, the activities extensive and the level of comfort exceptional. My sister, brother and myself are so very happy we found Alban Manor for our mother.

The welcome at Alban Manor starts at the reception with complimentary refreshments for residents and visitors . As you step inside you immediately notice the calm environment. Walking through the building you see nurses, support staff , chefs and housekeepers actively engaging with the residents....
J our mum moved to Alban Manor Care home a month ago. It was a distressing time for her ( and us) but the experience was made so much easier because the staff made considerable efforts to welcome her and our family . We continue to be very impressed with the care she is receiving. Nothing is too much for the staff to help her settle and we know she is safe and well looked after. Her care is highly personalised.
The home offers a homely environment for someone with dementia and staff deliver kind and compassionate care.This home is clearly well led and managed by the Matron , her deputy and team leaders and we are so glad that we chose Alban Manor over the other 9 we visited.
It means a great deal to know that the care provided is appreciated.
Kindness and compassion are some of our values , well embedded in the Home's culture. Your feedback is truly valued. I will share your compliments with everyone involved.
Thank you again for taking the time to let us know about your positive experience.

The staff at Alban Manor made a very difficult experience so much easier for us. We chose them for respite care for my dad (who has dementia) to give mum a much needed break. Ionela in particular was so helpful from the start - and all staff we encountered were so smiley and helpful. We were kept regularly updated and felt very reassured that dad was in kind and capable hands. We extended the stay from 2 weeks to 4 weeks and will definitely plan to repeat the experience.
Best wishes. Thank you
My mother is a long term resident at Alban Manor. It is an excellent nursing home with incredibly dedicated and professional staff. They work tirelessly to provide the best care. I am very grateful to the staff who are all permanent and well managed.

I'm grateful for the care and dignity shown to her, by nurses and carers, as they met her needs throughout her final two and a half years. The entire management and staff were always helpful and kind. Mum appreciated their attentiveness and enjoyed her friendships with many of them, as well as with other residents.
There were plenty of opportunities for entertainment and social interaction, and Mum enjoyed a good quality of life, despite her failing health.
Alban Manor was always a nice place to visit, and it was reassuring to know that Mum was comfortable, safe and well looked after when we were not there.
I would definitely recommend you visit and consider if you are in need of a great nursing home.
We know she was settled and really appreciated all of our team. She was very much part of our family, residents and staff.
She is missed by all.
Best wishes
Thank youKind Regards

Due to her poor health she wasn't able to join in with many activities but the staff spent time with her in her room and she really enjoyed getting to know them.
From a personal perspective I will remember the kindness the staff showed to me in her final days for a very long time.
I would thoroughly recommend Alban Manor.
On behalf of the team of Alban Manor , I want to thank you for your lovely feedback . We really tried to make your mum comfortable, safe, using kindness to help her through some difficult times . Thank you also for staff's treat. Thinking of you.
Best wishes !

My Dad has been with Alban Manor Nursing Home for 3 years, and the staff have always been exceptionally friendly and helpful. They regularly go above and beyond to help, even late into the evening. They also clearly know the details of all their residents as any of the staff could answer questions on what my dad had been up to. Access the garden was a great benefit when dad was able. And again, when able, my dad appreciated the various trips and outings that the home ran. The home was always spotlessly clean and well presented. I'd thoroughly recommend Alban Manor to anyone.
Our good wishes goes to both of you.
Thank you for your lovely comments and appreciation.
We still think of your parents , such lovely people.

My father was cared for by the amazing staff at Alban manor for the last 8 weeks of his life, as we could no longer meet his care needs at home. The team were incredible and the care they gave my father was second to none. We couldn't have been more grateful for the love and support we were all shown by the staff. The end of life care he received ensured his death was peaceful and pain free and he had the dignified death that he deserved A special thank you to Carmela, Charlotte and Godwin for their love and support we will always remember your outstanding care and kindness. Thank you all.

I have been particularly pleased with the welcoming reception from all the staff and management, who always treated him with respect throughout his stay.

We miss you both.

I want to give a special mention to Lead Care Manager, who combined professionalism, humour, and loving care to give our family great confidence that mum was being well cared for. We also want to thank Matron who from day one with her guidance and professional support, and she has clearly created a fantastic team of nurses and carers. Also, we had the please to meet the gorgeous live in cockerpoo, and her lovely and very helpful mum & dad who helped set up mums room to be personal and welcoming.

My wife has been living at Alban Manor Nursing Home for two and a half years due to her Alzheimer's diagnosis, and during this time, she has received compassionate and professional care. I am promptly notified of any significant concerns via phone, and I can access regular updates through the electronic monitoring system on my Smartphone. The facility benefits from permanent staffing, which fosters consistent care and builds familiar relationships among residents and families. Each floor is supported by a dedicated team, including a Registered Nurse and Lead Carer, ensuring a strong rapport between staff and residents. The well-maintained gardens provide a secure and pleasant environment, featuring grassy areas, a small covered space, and accessible pathways with seating. Residents enjoy a variety of appropriate entertainment options most days, facilitated by both in-house and external providers, along with summer. outings to local attractions via mini-bus. My daughter and I feel assured that my wife is in a safe setting and trust that the high standard of care she receives will be upheld.
