Overall Experience

A very impressive first stay in this care home. The staff were very attentive and made me feel both cared for and secure. The advantage of also providing a weeks Respite for my wife, who acts more as my daily carer, also added to my peace of mind. I will be seriously considering further short respite

break to provide a relief to my wife and daughters who otherwise are anxious for my fitness.

Overall Experience

This residential home is the best I have come across. It is welcoming and treated my dear friend with dignity and patience. They are flexible in approach and want nothing more than to give the best possible care. My friend was frail and needing a great deal of 'TLC'; this was given in abundance, nothing

was too much trouble. Caring staff are kind and pleasant, giving and showing utmost respect to such an elderly lady. Management staff ar of the highest calibre. Superb listening skills and showed genuine sympathy for our difficulties. They also acted positively in this respect, offering a much needed placement. The empathy and support was also exemplary. This is a family of caring, efficient, high quality individuals. It says something when employees choose to place their relatives here.

A fantastic experience in a beautiful well cared for unique setting. The management, staff and volunteers would be a credit to any organisation.
It was a delight to share valuable time and experiences with the residents.
The Chapel in the home was a delightful space adding dignity to proceedings as

was the full and varied programme of extramural events and activities.

Firstly I must comment on the general appearance of the home, it is spotless and smells beautiful of flowers and very welcoming and warm. The furnishings are first-class quality and carefully designed to give a calm and inviting vibe. The staff are incredible, very friendly and caring. My mum was very

vulnerable when she came to the home only 3 months ago and already her improvement in her health is amazing. She is content, safe and feels like royalty, as sisters we are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our mum.

My mum has been made very welcome during her first months as a resident. The level staff have made her transition from hospital very easy. Mum can be quiet and tall the staff have taken time to get to know her individual needs, likes and dislikes. Mum's health has improved a lot in just one month. Mum

particularly enjoys meal times with the other residents and is very happy with the quality and choice of meals, Mum looks forward to her weekly hair saloon visit and like that she can join in with activities when it suits her. We are happy all around as a family.

Overall Experience

Albert Edward Prince of Wales Court was selected for my stepmother just over two years ago. It came highly recommended and this has proved to be justifiable. The home is professionally managed ensuring a high standard of care and accommodation. The residents are treated kindly and their dignity is always

maintained. Staffing levels are good, varied entertainment is provided and there is a good laundry service. The nurses and carers really seem to know the residents well and can be relied upon to act in the residents’ best interests. A friendly, professional and caring team.

Overall Experience

My dad has been a resident at Albert Edward Prince of Wales Court for a number of years and the care he has received has always been first-class. The staff are fabulous and caring and the home is always spotlessly clean and has plenty of things going on for the residents to take part in. The bedrooms

are very light and roomy and the communal areas are very pleasant and calm to be in. The home feels more like a hotel than a care home and the decor is bright and cheery, along with the staff working there. I can't recommend the place enough, thanks to everyone there for the care they've shown my dad over the years and continue to do so.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for the past 7 years as she has dementia and in that time the staff at the home have always gone the extra mile to make sure she is happy, cared for, and well looked after.
This is an amazing home the best I have ever been to, I did look at a lot of homes before Mum went

into the home originally. I couldn't thank the staff enough for the care they have given my mother over the past 7 years, she is 93 years old and her dementia is slowly getting worse but she is happy being loved and cared for by this lovely home.
I visit the home twice sometimes three times a week and she is always well dressed and content I couldn't wish for a better. I don't say what days I will visit.

My mother is being well looked after. There are always people available to help and support.
There are a variety of activities for my mother to be involved in but no pressure if she just wants to 'chill' in her room.
Food is generally pretty good and there's always ice cream (which always helps!).
Thank

you.

Overall Experience

My family has been associated with the Albert Edward Care Home for more than 30 years and our opinion has not changed. We agree with all the previous comments submitted by others, so no need to repeat them. My mother-in-law was a resident for a number of years and passed away at the home 12 years ago.

Her care was inspirational. My older brother is now a resident there so we have the opportunity to visit and experience the continued high standards provided. On a personal note, we draw comfort from the possibilities of availing ourselves of the Albert Edward as time goes by.
Well done to all the management and staff, cannot praise you enough, hence the 5-star rating.

Overall Experience

The standard of care provided by the staff and carers at Albert Edward Prince of Wales Court is outstanding. All were provided with dignity, concern and gentle humour and with the utmost levels of professionalism. The home is immaculately clean with excellent daily activities. The well-maintained grounds

provide for walking for the more mobile residents.
When my late father was very ill I spent a number of nights at the home and could not have been made to feel more welcome in very challenging circumstances. As a family, we consider ourselves remarkably fortunate that both our parents have been looked after at the home. We live locally and visit the home a number of times a week and at different times of the day and evening, and the standard never wavers from excellent.

Overall Experience

As always this care home never fails to deliver when it comes to Dad. He is so well looked after, cleanly dressed whenever I visit and he is above all happy. What more can I ask for? He always says it is like being on holiday as there are so many activities going on and he especially likes the singers/bands.
He

has a little bit of the garden that he calls his own where he has his bird feeding station and in the summer months he is regularly watering the flowers and plants. He has even got into doing some painting around the garden as well.
The staff are so caring and patient with him, it's a joy to see when I visit, nothing is too much trouble. They always ensure his safety and reassure him if he is having an off day, which is few and far between now.
The home itself is pristine and so inviting when you arrive, everywhere inside and out is kept in tip-top condition.
10 out of 10 as always from me, as I can't thank them enough for looking after him. Dad would say the same.

My mother-in-law has been at the home since September & suffers from mild Alzheimer’s. The staff over the Xmas period have been amazing. She felt loved, entertained and included. Everyone has been so attentive on her “off days” & encouraged her to be the life & soul of the party when back on form.

We are truly blessed that she is now with such a great bunch of people who genuinely care. We felt guilty not bringing her to us for Xmas but in all honesty I think she had a better time than we did!

The care Dad receives at this home is top-notch. The staff are medically attentive, caring and, above all, always respectful. The food is great, and the activities are well thought out to occupy those who want it. As we do not live in the UK, our visits to Dad are not as often as we would like, but

the staff still know us, and communication by email is good, putting us at ease that he is in the safest place for his condition (Parkinson’s). We’re made to feel part of the team. After 18 months, Dad is starting to refer to it as ‘home’.
