  • Alexander Court Care Centre, Dagenham
Alexander Court is a modern and purpose-built home specialising in the provision of nursing care and located in Dagenham. With 80 rooms, all of which are en-suite, the décor is bright and modern, creating a sense of ‘home’ and comfort.

Residents can enjoy a variety of communal areas with different facilities. This includes areas in which to relax and have calm time, or busier environments where residents might take part in an activity or meet with friends and relatives. The home benefits from its own café and bar, which is greatly enjoyed by the residents, particularly during quiz and activity sessions.

A multicultural care team works hard to adapt to the varying needs of the residents, a broad and interesting activity programme, keeping people active whilst they are here, from taking part in exercise sessions to spending time reminiscing or enjoying performances together.

Review from Gary C (Relative of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
While we appreciate the essential care provided at Alexander Court - including feeding, medication, and hygiene - we've been left disappointed by the lack of support when it comes to our relative's rehabilitation. We requested just 10 minutes a day to assist her with physio exercises, but were told
bluntly that staff "don't have the time."
What's especially frustrating is that during our visits, we've frequently seen several staff members standing around in the corridors, chatting loudly. It's hard to accept that there's no time for a brief, meaningful intervention when there's clearly downtime. Not only does this idle chatter seem like a waste of valuable care time, it may also cause unnecessary distress for residents who need calm environments.
Alexander Court gets the basics right, but falls short on compassionate, person-centred care beyond the bare minimum.
Reply from Abi SANUSI, Manager at Alexander Court Care Centre

We are sorry that the 10 minutes physio exercise request did not materialise. However, we aim to provide better service to all our resident and ensure a comfortable stay. Please make out time to speak to the manager if a request cannot be met at unit level.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husbands mum/ my mother-in-law stayed in Alexander Court for 8 weeks after having 2 conservative falls over a 4 week period, resulting in fractures in both legs & ankles and needed care and rehabilitation to help her back on her feet. She is 94 years old, lives independently, completely of sound
mind and can be stubborn as an ox when it comes to determination. Always able to care personally and practically for herself. From showering, cooking, cleaning, nothing stopped her. When we arrived, We were greeted with the biggest smiles that immediately put her/ us at ease. When shown to her room, members of staff introduced themselves,.
She stayed 8 weeks in total, in that time, cared for impeccably with grace, understanding, kindness and most importantly total respect. All the staff are amazing.
The door is always open so we could visit whenever we wanted, day or night. That to me, says it all.
Thankyou Alexander Court.

My dad was with you for the last 4 days of his life and we couldn't have been happier with the treatment both he and ourselves received. The staff were friendly and kind and we were confident that when we left his side they looked after him well. We cannot recommend this home highly enough for his end
of life care. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent 14 days here recently. Mum is almost 95 years old. The respite was really for me, however she came out so much more sprightly than when she went in. She had clearly developed a rapport with all of the staff and it was obvious that this was mutual. I can only praise all of the staff there
and thank them for such wonderful work. Skills with elderly people are not always easy but anyone who is good at their job makes it look easy and that was the vision I saw on the day that I came to pick Mum up to take her home. 10/ 10 for all the staff at Alexander Court and a big thank you to all of you.
Reply from Abi SANUSI, Manager at Alexander Court Care Centre

It was a great pleasure to have her with us on respite. She made it very easy to look after her as she would have a laugh with everyone after throwing banter at the staff. We look forward to having her again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our friend spent more than 2 years in Alexander Court Care Home, entering during Covid times was difficult for all concerned but gradually the decor, activities and facilities have improved. A constant during the whole time though has been the high standard of care. None more so than during the final
days and hours, the sensitivity, respect and dignity extended was exemplary, for which we are grateful and very thankful. Residents can enjoy a varied activity programme, the photos of them participating is helpful for family and friends and prompts conversation topics. The regular management consultations with residents' relatives to discuss any concerns are very helpful.

Thank you for the feedback, we aim to continue to improve in overall services rendered to our service users. It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to look after your loved one.

What can one say, the staff and management of Alexander Court Care Centre were fantastic, although my cousin was there only a week. Myself and husband were treated like family. Kind and helpful at all times bluebell unit is where my dear cousin was and he was treated with respect at all times. Kept
clean and any wishes he had upheld, the day before he passed he said he was comfy and how quiet the unit was.

Our family cannot thank the staff enough for the care they gave Dad. We were all apprehensive about our dad going into a care home for respite but he went in a poorly man and came out to being our dad again and that is all because of the care he was given. From the management to the cleaning staff,
you are all brilliant.

I would recommend Alexander Court to friends and family as it was recommended to me. Any problems with my husband's care were discussed by myself and the staff and the answer, I am pleased to say, was found. The friendly and welcoming staff are to be praised for their ongoing care for all their patients.

Review from Mohamhed Emon M (Resident) published on 5 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Well, I recently left this place after an almost 2-month respite and at first, I hated it, because I wasn't used to the change, but the first night I asked one of the nurses if they could help me get back to the hospital I came from, and she managed to calm me down and I spent my first night there.
For
me with anxiety and depression it was hard, but the fact that it was so quiet and homely, helped a lot. If you come here and are under their care, then you are in great hands as I met both managers from the get-go, and they both were super nice and supportive of my needs.
If you find yourself under the care of some of the staff from Bluebell Unit, then you're in luck! I absolutely loved my stay there and lord knows I wasn't an easy person for them! But they helped me either way and the cleaners to the kitchen staff were all so great. The night staff as well, equally as lovely; several in particular and whoever else took great care of me during the night; I thank you.

My father was a resident at Alexandra Court Care Centre. My family visited him and every time he was in clean clothes. His room was hazard-free. The room was well ventilated. Alexandra Court Care Centre staff are friendly, always attentive, and reported back to the family about his needs and feeding
progress. They communicated directly with him even when I visited and it was pleasing to see how much confidence he held on to the staff and carers at Alexandra Court Care Centre. From managing his medication up to facilitating his hospital appointments Alexandra Court Care Centre staff were brilliant. I was really touched by the way they go the extra mile in their service.

The staff were pleasant and cared for my mum. The restrictions and red tape regarding visiting were initially onerous for a resident in respite care but this was overcome and mum appeared in good spirits. Mum's care in respite allowed me to respond to other family issues that came up and have a short
break myself.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.911) out of 10 for Alexander Court Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.462 for Alexander Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (67 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.462
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.449 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexander Court Care Centre is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.549
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
