Purpose built in 2016, on the edge of Chelsea in London, The Albert Suites have been designed in the style of a boutique hotel, offering bespoke care packages using modern gadgetry and expert skills to hasten and improve recovery.<\/h3>\n

Each of the 28 private suites are available for both short-term recuperation, or long-term residential care.<\/p>\n

Head of Care Stephanie Larby, explains, \u201cIt’s an ideal place for someone to convalesce when they are well enough to leave hospital, but not quite well enough to return home\u201d.<\/p>\n

Retired solicitor Michael Hamilton experienced this first hand just last month.<\/p>\n

My week at the Albert Suites has greatly contributed to my ongoing recovery<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAfter three weeks in hospital with a severe case of pneumonia, I\u00a0 spent a week at the Albert Suites,” says the 92-year-old.<\/p>\n

“This was a wonderful rest, after a very intense period. I had really excellent care in extremely comfortable surroundings. Everyone went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Weeks spent in hospital meant that Michael\u2019s muscles had weakened considerably, so the daily physiotherapy sessions were instrumental in his recovery.<\/p>\n

Physiotherapist Francesca Sparke and her team\u00a0physio team provided twice daily sessions in the dedicated gym area.<\/p>\n

Michael particularly benefitted from using the \u2018Motomed,\u2019 a special exercise bike which enabled him to quickly re-build his fitness.<\/p>\n

Michael adds, \u201cI was given physiotherapy by Francesca to strengthen my muscles. Francesca is not only an excellent physiotherapist, she is also a charming and sympathetic person, and I really enjoyed my sessions with her.<\/p>\n

“My week at the Albert Suites has greatly contributed to my ongoing recovery, and I will be continuing regular physiotherapy as an outpatient, in the hope that I can maintain and build on the progress I have already made\u201d.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Larby adds: \u201cNursing homes such as Albert Suites can free up an acute hospital bed preventing a delayed transfer of care.<\/p>\n

“This is something which occurs when a patient is in the wrong care setting for their current level of need which affect a hospital\u2019s ability to admit new patients, so can contribute to longer waiting times\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Albert Suites provide luxurious surroundings for residents and hotel-inspired facilities from 24-hour room service to a chef-led menu that provides restaurant-plated meals.<\/p>\n

Each suite is equipped with kitchenettes and en-suite bathrooms. Facilities are also available for family or friends to stay overnight. There is also a garden offering a tranquil place to sit or stroll, within the vibrancy of the King\u2019s Road. A night\u2019s stay costs from \u00a3375.<\/p>\n
