Reception - Doorbell entry, very frustrating (and exit too).
Room: Good size, cleaned to a good level.
Communication - use email and text more (Especially in urgent cases).
Resident management - Best when mum was at her most ill. Regular reviews/advice by a nominated person would be helpful (too casual).
Overall, very good - mum was happy there.
Food - Bland and unimaginative but plentiful.
Visitor - Friendly and welcoming.

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with some aspects of the home. Safety and access to the front door were discussed in the previous Residents and relatives meeting an agreed that no visitors or family members will have the door access code. This is to ensure Residents are not able to leave the building inadvertently when visitors are leaving the premises. In relation to the food that was served in the home, as an organisation, we follow a set of 4 weekly rolling menu that was planned with suggestions and ideas from Residents and relatives. We also consulted nutritionists and dieticians to ensure that all our Residents have a healthy and balanced diet. I am glad to hear that, in general, you are happy and satisfied with the highest standard of care and dignity maintained for your relative during the last days of her life. Once again thank you for taking the time to contact us and we will take it on board to continue in improving our service.
The staff were consistently helpful and cheerful which created a good atmosphere. They showed patience and consideration when residents were distressed. The care on the first floor was very good and much more focused as it needed to be than downstairs. My main area of criticism would be the food...
The staff were consistently helpful and cheerful which created a good atmosphere. They showed patience and consideration when residents were distressed. The care on the first floor was very good and much more focused as it needed to be than downstairs. My main area of criticism would be the food which tended to be dull and tasteless. In general, my mother-in-law was well cared for and ended her days with dignity.

I would highly recommend Alexander Care Home in Ladywell. The staff took great care of my Granddad and his sister. Although it was a new experience for all of us, the staff and other residents quickly came to feel like extended family. You can stay for mealtimes or book in for a Sunday lunch. The...
The bedrooms are cozy and if you need anything you just have to ask. There is parking on site.
I am very grateful for all of their hard work.
Alexander Care Home has cared very well for my Grandmother since she moved in three years ago. They always provide compassionate high-quality care and I am very grateful for the service they provide.

My wife's aunt is in the care of Alexander Care Home. We visited with her brother and sister for her aunt's 105th birthday. This was our first visit and I was impressed with the facilities and staff and the trouble they had gone to to make this a special day for auntie. Unfortunately, Auntie cannot...
However, at that great age, she is in the best place for care and safety.
I find the home environment neat and tidy. The staff are neat and polite. They are always approachable. I fully appreciate the service being provided at the home. I am grateful for it.

Alexander Care Home is a very good care home, most of the staff are very good there is just a few who show that it just classed as a job without the care I have known that a few do not communicate well with visitors and actually show that there is no interest in the residents which I find is sad....
It has been said that there is a choice of food, as long as I have been visiting my mother, my mother has not been offered a choice of food. I would also like to point out when has Semolina has been classed as an evening meal, as when I was a child I was given that as a pudding not as a main meal.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback as this helps us improve our service where required. The Home Manager has spoken with the team to reiterate how important communication with family and friends is and the organisation's expectations of this. The Home Manager has spent time with you regarding the staffing grid of the home and has explained how staffing is determined on each unit. Staffing is based on the dependencies of our Residents and reviewed at least monthly or as and when individuals needs change. The Home Manager has met with the Chef and the kitchen team regarding the menu specifically regarding the evening and supper meal times to ensure that meals provided are according to HC-One's approved menu choices; this will continue to be monitored by the Management Team.

Please could a small amount of time, say 30 minutes, once or twice a week be allocated to be spent (one to one time) with those patients, so they have some type of activity time.
This could be a hand massage, nail painting, card making, etc.
The number of residents bed bound is about ten on the first floor and it is sad they miss out on activities as they are unable to move from their rooms.
It would be great to improve their quality of life.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback received as this helps us improve our service at Alexander Care Centre. With regards to our Residents who stay in their bedrooms, the Wellbeing Coordinator schedules one to one time to engage with these Residents as per our schedule of activities. These activities include Reminiscing and Down Memory Lane, newspaper and magazine reading, pampering and massage. We also have regular visits from local religious and spiritual organisations who provide communion and blessings to all Residents including those who remain in their rooms, if they so wish. To ensure our Residents are supported with social engagement and to improve our service, we are currently recruiting for an additional fulltime Wellbeing Coordinator. Thank you for your kind praise of our staff and care provision, we are very proud of our staff team and the work they undertake to ensure our Residents needs are met.

We love the coffee area and the little touches of lovely soap and hand cream in the visitors' toilet and even a scented candle.
Such a lovely home that we, as a family, are very happy with.
I feel happy and confident leaving mum in your care.

Wow, what a fantastic care home it's the best in the South East. The management and staff are so caring and very professional. The home is spotlessly clean, the food is of top standard. The care these people show is unbelievable. I visited a number of care homes but none of them can compare to...
I would like to say a big thank you to the management and carers for giving my mum the best quality of life that she is getting there.

As a family, we have been very impressed with the very high standard of care provided.
The staff are highly professional at all levels, management to cleaners, and all very friendly.
On all our visits we have always felt welcome and been given information about my mother's well-being.
In July my mother had her 100th birthday and the care centre made arrangements for the family to celebrate the event at the centre and we all had a fantastic time.
Her room is well decorated, modern and always clean.
I highly recommend The Alexander Care Home.
Her room is light and very clean and being able to make it as much like her own room at home is greatly appreciated.
