Alban Manor offers 5 star facilities in so many ways ; the quality of care , dedication of the staff, friendliness, catering , rooms and much more . My mum initially needed urgent respite care in late '24, due to a reoccurring medical condition. In January '25 she elected to stay permanently and since then it has been noticeable the stability it has brought to her life . Thanks so very much to the manager and her team.
Dear Chris.Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are happy to see your mum settled at Alban Manor. Matron

During two weeks respite my husband was very well looked after. The staff were caring and considerate and always available when needed. The home is very well managed with staff who ensure that all the needs of residents are met. The receptionists are helpful and welcoming to visitors. Indeed I would happily recommend Alban Manor to anyone looking for residential care.
Dear Heather. Thank you for your lovely comments. We really appreciate it. We always try our best to make a difference in people's lives. Best wishes

I can't put into words how grateful I am to Alban Manor. My mum was so poorly and thanks to all the staff at Alban Manor she's walking again and has become independent. I'm so thankful to all the staff, from the kitchen for helping her to put on weight. Night staff for saving her life and all staff for helping her to walk and live.
Thank you for your beautiful feedback. We are so happy to be part of your mum's journey. The day she went back home was a huge celebration for our team as well. Best wishes. Please come and visit.
My husband spent his last 9 months at Alban Manor and the care he received was first-class. The staff are so caring and compassionate and I couldn't have asked for better. They were also so welcoming of the family and visitors.

The staff are amazing, the level of care my mother received was nothing short of the highest standard. This is also in the level of care and compassion she was shown. I cannot recommend Alban Manor highly enough, this is truly an amazing care/nursing home.

Alban Manor provided a month of respite care for my father after a fall and a period of delirium. He stayed on the first floor with dementia residents and received appropriate care and attention. Managers and staff always listened to our feedback and made sure that he was safe and comfortable.

From the moment I met with the first staff on the door, I felt this to be a warm, professional, caring and loving place. Alban Manor felt like a home where even I, as my mother's daughter, felt cared for.
During the short time my mother was there, she was treated with dignity and all her needs were met. Her room was light and airy, and specifically given in a place where she wouldn't feel isolated. The family dog was even allowed to make visits!
The team at Alban Manor work to the highest professional level but somehow still manage to feel like family.
I cannot thank them enough for making what has been a very difficult time so much more bearable by their compassion and kindness.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. You listed all the values we try to promote at Alban Manor. Looks like our job was well done, again. Hope will see you soon.
Dad lived in three...
Dad lived in three care homes over 5.5 years; Alban Manor and the team were by far the best at everything. When I moved Dad from another home, he was immobile and needed a hoist to get up. Within weeks at Alban Manor, he was mobile again, able to walk with a frame until his final couple of weeks in May 2024.
The team are professionals, they really care and they are very good at communicating which makes life so much easier during a difficult time. Thank you.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We really care about what we do. We will share your feedback with the rest of the staff. Best wishes from Alban Manor Team.
Well cared for by all the staff.

Mum was in Alban Manor for a year until her death in February 24. Her needs were thoroughly assessed prior to her move and on arrival, a care plan was already in place and specialist equipment set up. She was assessed again on arrival. The professionalism of the staff was exemplary. Mum settled quickly and her physical condition improved immediately due to the professional care she received from the nursing and care staff and the way she was treated with dignity, respect and kindness by everyone. Our large family was always welcomed, and we felt fully involved in her care. We had access to her care plan which was updated regularly, and we could view a record of her daily care at any time. Any concerns we had were addressed immediately and suggestions we made were included in her care plan. We feel very lucky to have found such a wonderful nursing home for Mum. Thank you to all the staff - nurses, care workers and admin - for your friendliness to us and the excellent care you gave Mum.
Your feedback is so appreciated by the team at Alban Manor. Thank you. We do the job with kindness and pride. We do want to make a difference for our residents. Best wishes to all. Thank you
From the day she arrived until she sadly passed away, our dear mother/grandmother received care and compassion of the highest order from every member of staff. For that we will be eternally grateful and cannot speak highly enough of Alban Manor Nursing Home.

My dad was in Alban Manor from 2021 until November 2023 and was looked after and cared for so well every day until his passing at the end of November 23. My mum then first went into respite at Alban Manor from the hospital, becoming a resident in January 24. This is where Mum wanted to be knowing she would be given the same care and affection Dad had, also knowing her friends and family would be made welcome when visiting. Again, like Dad, Mum was looked after so very well until her passing, on 2nd April 2024. All the staff were and are amazing, very kind, special, caring people and treated Mum so, so well until the very sad last day. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Best wishes from the team. Your parents are really missed. Thank you.

My mother was very apprehensive about going into a care home after living independently for 89 years. The staff were kind and caring. She soon gained confidence. All my emails were replied to very quickly by senior staff. My mother was only at Alban Manor for 4 weeks but in that time she put on weight, which was wonderful and began to get back to her old, happier self. A great reflection of the care/time/attention she received at Alban Manor. Thanks to all the staff!
Thank you for your lovely feedback. Best wishes. Kind regards, Matron

My husband had coeliac disease and attention given to his gluten-free diet was faultless.
Our job is to make sure you feel the compassion and kindness we offer to your loved one and you trust that they are in good hands. Kindest Regards
