Algester Lodge Nursing Home

Nice, clean, caring people.

This is my Dad at Algester Lodge in the new Garden in 2018 he was in the high care facility Sapphire for about 2 years then moved to Palliative care. The Dementia had taken his previous life away from him and us but Algester Lodge gave him the greatest care and warmth in those last two and half years. He always had a smile on his face and was well looked after . Thank You Algester Lodge.

Our family's experience with this nursing home was very distressing. They seem to have all care and concern when the family is visiting but during her stay with this facility my mother had to be admitted twice to hospital due to malnourishment and dehydration. This was due to my mothers' inability to feed herself and the very few staff members who were mostly casual, or training and had no time to sit with her and physically feed her and administer oral fluids despite the management being aware of her situation. When confronted with this information, the manager was aggressive and hostile. We were left with no other recourse but to remove her to another facility which thankfully was much more caring. Beware of this nursing home - I have since spoken with a nurse who was employed there and she confirmed what we suspected - Algester Lodge is all about the money .

We have always found the facilities at Algester Lodge and their care of Win, our mother/mother-in-law, to be excellent. The staff are very warm and helpful not only to Win but also to our ourselves when we visit. However when we went there last week for Win's 100th birthday, we were completely blown away by the effort they put into. celebrating the occasion. Thank you Algester Lodge staff. We cannot praise your efforts enough.

My daughter was doing her placement here most of the staff would not teach her anything they just made her make beds I feel it is very poor of there training then they turn around and tell her she is not job ready. It has just made her feel worthless I’m very disappointed in this place.

Nicely set out, very clean, staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were a good size, ensuit was clean, plenty of grab rales in the shower.

Staff told me to go in without a rat test! SHOCKING. Protect our elderly and make sure your giving mandatory rat tests to all visitors!! Shame guys

Lovely facility, friendly staff. Residents seem very happy and cared for.

Nothing too flash, the staff seem overworked but friendly. With Most of the staff, English is their second language. So if your loved one is bigoted maybe choose another place.

The decision to move my mother into Algester Lodge was made easier by the caring staff.. my mother settled in very quickly and receives top quality care.. all her needs are met , the rooms are a great size . She has a full size dressing table. 2 bedside tables.. bookshelf ..fridge and a display cabinet with her nick nacks in it and a tv.. the meals are great , my wife and I often have sunday lunch with her... i have no hesitation reccomending Algester Lodge to my friends when they talk of care facilities... of course there have been small problems but they were sorted quickly ... 9.5 out of 10 to the facility they have had an upgrade of furnishings and the gardens .. including the gardner planting my fathers rose bush outside mums window so mum can see it every day..
