My husband is getting on very well, the carers are very good and he is well looked after. Everyone is very polite and nothing is too much trouble. They always make sure he is comfortable. I feel like we are part of a family.

Reply from Parminder Grewal, Director at Alban Manor Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind comments, Brenda. You and your husband are indeed part of the family and we will continue to work together to support him in the best possible way.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Alban Manor is a very friendly and welcoming nursing home which, in every respect, outshines the other care homes I have seen. The newly refurbished accommodation is tastefully decorated, fitted out to a very high standard and comprises a wide range of facilities and equipment. The clean, tidy and
comfortable rooms are well-appointed with light, modern furniture and en suite wet rooms, giving residents a pleasant homely feel. The tasty and varied choice of quality food served in the comfortable dining rooms gives the impression of a top class hotel. Spacious lounge and cinema areas and attractive gardens add to the ambience.
Management and staff are attentive and caring, whether to residents or to visiting friends and relatives. One gains the clear impression that this family concern and its staff have a vision of taking nursing care to a ‘higher level’ in order to satisfy residents’ and their family’s aspirations for the best care possible. They look certain to succeed!

Reply from Ramneek Grewal, Director at Alban Manor Nursing Home

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.769)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.769) out of 10 for Alban Manor Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.769 for Alban Manor Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (374 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 477 Ratings = 4.769

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alban Manor Nursing Home is based on 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 41 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
