My Mum has been at Alexandra House for over a year and we are grateful to everyone as they made us all feel very welcome especially for all the kindness and care given to Mum. It has taken a huge worry from us knowing that Mum is being cared for so well in such beautiful surroundings.

Alexandra House staff are superb! They are compassionate, caring and extremely hard working. Management is supportive and do their best to provide quality service for each individual. Concerns or requests are quickly and positively dealt with. Accommodation is luxurious, with plenty of room to manoeuvre. Ensuite facilities are better than some starred hotels! Sea views and close proximity to shops and facilities and transport are available.
The grounds are well kept, but with poor entrance facility lying in a wind tunnel between sea and car park gives little weather protection. Food is tasty and plentiful, and help for special needs is provided. A daily menu offers a fair food choice.The house manager keeps residents abreast of craft activities, podiatry, hairdressing visits etc. The MHA Christian ethos is unobtrusive but in evidence. A chaplain visits and holds non-obligatory services or meetings. Access to other faith is available. Alexandra House is the best I have visited and good value for its charges. It provides a Rolls Royce service to its guests!
Thank you for your feedback regarding Alexandra House. It is particularly pleasing to hear that you feel the team are compassionate, caring and hardworking. I will ensure that your feedback is shared across the whole staff team. Your comments are much appreciated. Thank you.

I have been lucky enough to move into Alexandra House to be with my husband. I have a fantastic room overlooking the sea and the staff have been very nice. The food is good and if my husband is unable to make it to the dining room, we can have our meals together in his room. There is a good activity programme but we have yet to attend as my husband does not always feel up to this. Overall I am very happy to be here at Alexandra House.
