View Full Details of Albemarle CourtMy father lived at Albemarle Court Care Home for approximately two and a half years until his death in January 2025. Over that time I visited my father approximately 100 times and always found my father to be well cared for, warm, fed and medicated. The staff are very friendly and helpful even though my father could be difficult at times. My father was in safe hands until he passed away at the age of 94. I would recommend Albemarle Court Care Home to anyone looking for care in their final years.
I have a family member who is at present a resident at the care home. I visit often and have spent quite a lot of time sitting in and observing the activities both of the staff and the residents. The staff are really caring. Attentive at all times. The residents all have all en-suite bedrooms and in the morning they are brought down to the communal room. Television refreshments and activities for those who want them. Clean the care home and the residents are always dressed and treated with dignity. I found a place in the care home by chance, on the internet, a phone call then in two days settled in. All I can say is I am really satisfied with my choice and so is my family member.
My mum was at Albemarle court for over five years until she passed away in February after a long battle with dementia. I found the care she received was very good, with caring staff who go above and beyond in her last weeks as she was struggling to eat and drink due to her illness. The staff took the care, time and patience trying to get her to eat and drink. I know she was comfortable and looked after as I used to visit her twice a day and found all the staff friendly and professional. I would like to thank all the staff and management for what you did for my mum and also for the compassion from you all after she passed away.
When my dad was first moved to Albemarle Court, I was slightly concerned as the facilities are not as well appointed as his previous care homes. However, within days the idea of decor or in-house amenities playing any role in his experience seemed completely irrelevant and admittedly a bit misguided on my part. My dad has been treated with care and kindness by every member of staff and I can't thank them enough for the compassion and dignity they have shown him. Not only has every member of staff treated my dad as a whole person (rather than simply a person with a diagnosis) they have approached his unpredictable and occasionally extreme behavior as a challenge or a puzzle to explore, rather than a problem. The inclusive environment and the welcoming community approach has helped me and my family manage what is an extremely difficult time for all of us as a collaboration, with my dad's care, well-being and best interests at its centre -something that we are so grateful for.
My father moved here from a home he was in for years. The management said he would be well looked after, and his disability would be managed and cared for. (He was paralysed on his left side). After 2 weeks it was noticeable that his well-being had diminished considerably. Two weeks later they phoned me to say he wasn't eating or drinking, I said you cannot just put a plate of food and a cup of lemon juice next to him. Give him a can of 'pop' he can just pick up, and something 'snacky' that he can help himself too. That seemed too much for them. He ate the little things I brought him (small sausage rolls, jaffa cakes), and drank the cans of pop. A week later I saw him, and he was so weak, I had to pour the drink into his mouth. He died shortly after. I do not expect staff to feed him, but they said they were aware of his needs when clearly they were not. Carers have a very difficult job, and the vast majority do it very well. But i would think twice before sending your family here.
My father spent the last few months of his life at Albermarle Court. The care he received was wonderful. The home manager and her team showed nothing but professionalism, kindness and care throughout. His room was spotless and overlooked the well-stocked garden. We do not live locally, but knowing he was in such a place gave the family peace of mind, particularly at the end. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.
