Mum spent her last 3 weeks at Alban Manor. The care she received was exceptional. From beginning to end, all the staff looked after mum but cared for us as a family too. Thanks to Alban Manor we had peace of mind that mum was in the most safe hands and, in her words, it was calm. As a family, we can't thank you enough.

My mum spent her remaining time with the lovely team at Alban Manor after moving from another care home. I found the combination of professional care, nursing, and support across the entire team to be excellent, and I cannot recommend Alban Manor enough. 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. Every resident we spoke to loves being at Alban Manor. Our only regret is that my mum didn't get to spend more time there with all the lovely people living in this wonderful home.

I left my husband here for 3 weeks of respite care. I was a little apprehensive as he has dementia, and I wasn't sure how he would react. I need not have worried. He settled in very well. The staff are so friendly and helpful, nothing is too much trouble, and when I came to collect him, they were so lovely to both of us. I would not hesitate to leave him here again, and I thoroughly recommend Alban Manor.

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.

The staff and management at Alban Manor were extremely welcoming and friendly at a difficult and stressful time for us. We are very glad we chose Alban Manor for my Dad to be looked after and cared for. He received end of life care. He was treated with diginity at all times, as well as kindness. The staff were always attentive, efficient and professional, and carried out their duties with expertise and minimal disruption. I always enjoyed visiting my Dad whilst he was there and spent alot of time with him in a relaxed and safe setting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My husband is very happy here. He has never asked to go home although he likes going on a trip out. Staff are very friendly to our sons and me whenever we visit. They keep us well informed on how he is getting on. We have always been impressed by his care.

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.

My mother was admitted into Alban Manor Nursing Home for end of life care. 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.

Alban Manor is a special place where you will always feel welcome and able to trust the team to do the right thing for your loved one. My Dad was a resident on the dementia floor for seven months from October 2023. He was so well cared for by the whole team who are very kind. 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.
