About Albion Lodge Retirement Home
We are a residential home in Worcester, providing a home for older people and younger adults who need help with daily living but who do not require nursing care. We are not a large place and we do not try to run like one. Residents have their own rooms with their own belongings, get up and go to bed when they choose and decide how they want to spend their days. Meals are cooked here and we pay attention when somebody says they would rather have something else. A great deal of what makes a home worth living in is small and unglamorous: being helped to wash without being rushed, a hot drink at the time you actually want it, somebody noticing that you have gone quiet and sitting with you for a while. Family and friends are welcome whenever they would like to come. We would always rather a relative told us straight away when something is not right than waited for a formal moment to raise it. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. A planned short break can give a relative who provides care at home the rest they need to carry on, or help somebody regain confidence after an illness. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are considering a home for yourself or a relative, do come and look round and ask us anything.
