Review from R C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 November 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our mum has been a resident of Alicia Care Home for about four years. She has had the most wonderful care during her time there. The care staff are led by a fantastic management team, who are always supportive, open and honest with us as a family, as well as ensuring that care staff treat residents with respect, kindness and compassion. Care staff appear to be genuinely interested and willing to go the extra mile for residents. We are able to visit at any time, which is a bonus and gives us the feeling that it's not a contrived situation when we walk through the door.
Although Alicia isn't a sleek, surgically shiny place to look at, we would highly recommend that you consider Alicia's Care Home if you want a homely, relaxed, safe and happy environment for your loved one.

Review from Mary D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 8 June 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father-in-law is in Alicia Nursing Home and I cannot speak more highly of the place, the staff, and the care. My father-in-law has been in a few places before here and has experienced some awful care, so I am super careful and watchful of him. From start to now, the manager has been so transparent and available. The staff are incredible. They all know my father-in-law's name, they ask us regularly if there is any other way they can help him feel more comfortable or if there are any other foods he would like. He is so happy there. There are so many things I can say positively. I have no negatives and I do look for them. Thank you to the manager and the awesome staff, you have helped my father-in-law feel safe and looked after. What more could we ask for!
