Albany Care Home did a great job of looking after my father after a sudden loss of mobility in the context of dementia and confusion. It is a warm community of caring people, where residents are treated with care, compassion and kindness. I would recommend you check our Albany if you are looking for
the right place for a loved one. Everywhere is clean, light, smells fresh, and the food is excellent.

I am over the moon to know that my friend has a very suitable home. She is being so well looked after by all the members of staff. Knowing that she is safe and secure is such a blessing, and the treatment she receives is excellent. I am thoroughly delighted to see her partake in activities, have
company at meal times and her own space when needed. From ringing the doorbell on entry to leaving, I can't rate Albany any higher. It is a home from home and more. Thank you all for your hard and rewarding work.

2 weeks of respite care after 3 weeks of hospitalisation with pneumonia. Visited every day and Ian had no complaints.

I can't praise The Albany enough and the kindness. For the month of January. There are many memorable scenes that I have witnessed. Saturday cinema with the lights dimmed is an incredible treat and a joy to be part of. Then I witnessed a scene whereby the chef and care staff were playing monopoly
with the residents, this is about The Albany being a real home. My mother started pointing and counting and people just join in dementia is enveloped treated with respect and my mother is finally settling in. Our fractured family is mending again. The Albany supports the whole family.

Albany Care Home provides a really excellent standard of care. The staff are friendly, caring and genuinely interested in all of their residents and relatives of their residents. Both of my parents had to move into care at short notice this year after a crisis. The relief at seeing them now safe and
well looked after is indescribable. The staff facilitate them being together as much as possible. The food is excellent. The activities coordinator is wonderful. Can't thank you enough for your care.

The staff at Albany, the whole team, have been really wonderful - it is a pleasure to visit, and when I leave each time I feel confident that the standard of nursing and personal care will be exemplary. The building and furnishings look very smart following the refurbishment and the standard of
catering is exceptional. A huge thank you to everyone on the staff for their compassion and dedication to the residents. I feel truly blessed to have found this place. My love to you all!

In my profession, I have visited many care homes. Albany is are of the best, if not the best! Why? Because all the aspects you list, care/support, food etc. are excellent. But best of all. carers and other visitors are always welcome and made to feel they are part of the team doing the best for each
resident. Albany is also very adaptable and flexible in adjusting to my special meals for hospital investigation at short notice.

I've visited my friend in the Albany twice since she moved in on Tuesday 27th May. Her room is large and light with a lovely view. Her room is large and light with a lovely view. It is well equipped with modern furniture. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The first visit was in the morning
and we were both offered coffee. Yesterday afternoon we were both offered a cup of tea and a lovely piece of cake. My friend is adapting well to her new surroundings and speaks well of the care she is receiving.

My first visit to this lovely home. I was very impressed. We went for a relatives meeting and sat in the dining room. The other relatives we met all helped at the home, one way or another. The tables were laid like an expensive restaurant. The home is being decorated and is light and bright..
The staff are warm, friendly and caring, even to visitors, and striving to be better. Some residents were watching the tv in the lounge. My sister-in-law was comfortable in her room.

caring. Thank you everyone!

My uncle has a big room.since he moved to the carehome, he has become more happier. He is talking more and coming down to the main lounge. Joining in the activities with other residents. He is looking much healthier and better for it. All the staff at the home are welcoming and very friendly.
Overall a very good home.

The staff are amazing regards to care, very attentive and caring. My mum had constant medical needs and they were dedicated and patient towards her. As a family we felt well supported and informed. Would 100% recommend the Albany!

My mother has been a resident at the Albany for over 3 years now and the care she has received since she has been there has always been excellent. The care staff are all brilliant with the residents and I feel they all do a fantastic job there. All the staff there are very friendly and welcoming and
I think a sign of how good the care home is, is the fact that the majority of the staff are the same as when my mum first went in there. The activities at the care home are always very good and I have taken part in quite a few things there with my mum. The activities organisers are both very bubbly and do a great job there, organising some great things for the residents.
The food at the care home is always very good and prepared by an excellent and friendly chef and his team.
