The receptionists are extremely welcoming.
A matter of real concern still continues - our mother's underwear that keeps being damaged, seemingly in the washing machines?
Reply from Aileen Nimmo, Sales & Marketing at Albany Lodge Nursing Home
At Albany Lodge we take all concerns seriously and the manager has an open door policy for all concerns to be discussed. It is rare that items are damaged but when they are, we do endeavour to investigate causes and reach satisfactory outcomes for all concerned.

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes
The Review Score of 9.7 (9.710) out of 10 for Albany Lodge 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.760 for Albany Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.76
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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Albany Lodge Nursing Home is based on 19 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 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20. 19 Positive Reviews ÷ 20 = 0.95
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.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2023
I’m Sarah Tucker, the Home Manager. With 16 years of experience as a Registered Nurse, I’ve worked in hospitals, communities, and social care. Caring has always been my passion, and I find immense joy in making a positive difference in people’s lives. Having served as a Care Home Manager and Regional Support Manager has empowered me to provide individualised person-centred care for my residents, fostering strong relationships with staff, relatives, and stakeholders, and serving as inspiration for others.
Feel free to visit and explore the home at any time. Your well-being is our priority, and we look forward to creating a warm and supportive environment for you at Albany Lodge Nursing Home.
Job Title: Deputy Manager
Joined: 2022
Hi, I'm Josh!
I've been a qualified nurse for 6 years. I've spent time in previous care home roles, including Deputy Manager/Clinical Lead. Alongside this, I have worked in NHS hospitals in Accident & Emergency.
I've got a real passion for elderly care/dementia. I have been in and around care homes since I was really young, with my Mum being a home manager.
My Grandad had Lewy Body Dementia & Parkinson's and required support in a nursing home, so I am very aware of the stress that a resident’s family can have.
I aim for all our residents to be cared for in the way I would have liked my Grandad to be cared for. I use this as my daily motivation to ensure we deliver high-quality, person-centred care for all our residents here at Albany Lodge.
Job Title: Receptionist
Joined: 2022
My name is Lea, and I work as a receptionist here, at Albany Lodge Nursing Home. Although I have only been with the team for four weeks, I have enjoyed working alongside such kind and lovely people each day. Meeting all our lovely residents is such a joy.
I have had a long career within the care sector for over 20 years. I started my career in 2003 as a health care assistant and then became a carer. I then went on to be an activities coordinator. I have worked and studied hard to work my way up the ranks, such as senior healthcare assistant, and then become a team leader.
After many years in different roles within the care sector, I became a receptionist/administrator, which I really enjoy.
Job Title: Head of Housekeeping
I have worked in Albany Lodge Nursing Home for many years and the reason why I love it here is down to the camaraderie of my colleagues and residents alike. The home is warm and friendly, creating an amazing atmosphere for all that live and work here. My focus is on maintaining the hygiene of the home, keeping all areas clean and ensuring the well-being of residents and staff.
Job Title: Chef
I take great pleasure in creating and presenting amazing dishes for our residents. The satisfaction I receive whenever I hear a resident say they enjoyed the food is indescribable. I believe that the way in which food is presented plays an essential part of the residents' health & well-being. With much confidence, I can say I love my job!
