Excellent teamwork - right across the care home. Always greeted with a smile and respect. As a family, we now know that we made the right decision to move my dear Mum here. We all can not be happier as a family.

For the short time my father-in-law was at Alexandra Care Home, he was treated with respect and care. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we visited. The difficult experience of end-of-life care was made so much easier by knowing he was being so well looked after.
Reply from Abi Oluikpe, Registered Manager at Alexandra Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. Our clinical team takes extra care in ensuring comfort for people at this stage of life and your cooperation made it much easier to achieve that for your father-in-law. Our condolences to the entire family.

Dad was at Alexandra for around 3 weeks until his death in early June. Before he even arrived the care home staff were working with staff at the Hospital and the continuing care team to get him there. They were always friendly and accommodating and clearly demonstrated their love, care and compassion
for Dad throughout the time he was at the home. I cannot fault them.
Reply from Abi Oluikpe, Registered Manager at Alexandra Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your cooperation made caring for your dad much easier and we are very grateful for that chance at providing him the end-of-life comfort that you are pleased with. Our condolences to the entire family.

My mother was a short time in the Aleandra, but I cannot put into words what she received and myself, all of our family. Everyone was brilliant when her life drew to a close. I have seen such love, care and compassion. They are all truly angels and will always hold a place in my heart.

Taken great care of my husband during his long stay at Alexandra Care Home, they have always taken good care of us too as a family As well when we have visited him over the years. In fact the staff have always seemed more like friends than care home staff Nothing has been too much trouble whatever our
request and for this we really thank them one and all for their care and kindness.
We were very lucky that my husband was a resident at this care home.

I cannot praise Alexandra Care Home enough. Mother was made very welcome from first moving in. The staff are very good and attentive at all times. The food is good and drinks and snacks are given most of the day. The entertainment is second to none, there is always something happening, family are welcome
24/7. Mum is always clean and well provided for. Her room is lovely and clean. The manager is excellent, we had a problem which the manager sorted out within hours and now we are more content.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife only came to the care home on the 8th of August 2023. She had one-to-one care at the start. It's difficult at times for the staff taking her clothes off and on. She was always a very private person, maybe thinks she's being abused!
Overall, I'm very pleased with the patience of the staff (carers).
So thank you to everyone.

All the staff are very friendly, I can't really review the food as I've never been there at meal times but my brother says he's always enjoyed his meals, so that is good for me. It is also very secure in all the areas that I've seen.

We were not prepared for Mum to go into a care home so when it happened in 2021 it was very helpful to have the manager there to help us. Mum doesn’t always appreciate the help and care she receives so I’m very grateful to all the staff for the patience they show. I visit very regularly and am always
made to feel welcome.

I have always received a warm welcome and greeted with a smile by all staff. My wife seems to be happy which isn't always easy and hasn't complained about anything. My experience overall is very satisfactory, it's somewhat of a lottery when choosing a care home for someone special, my gratitude to the
management and staff.

As a family, we have been very pleased with the excellent care at Alexandra Care Home. The managers and staff have all taken time to understand and care for the needs of my father-in-law. These needs have grown more challenging during his stay and staff have been kind considerate and caring at all times.
The
manager is always available to discuss care plans and overall care. The care staff have taken the time to understand my father-in-law’s needs and work hard to ensure that his residency is well managed and caring. The facilities are well looked after and managed, with regular activities and parties for Xmas and special occasions. I would highly recommend it.

No one wants to think about having to find a care home for a loved one. When we needed to find a care home some years ago now and having checked out quite a few, we were very pleased to secure a place at Alexandra Care Home. He has now been a resident there for some time and although his health has
deteriorated I know he is well cared for and his general health is monitored and any adjustments needed to his care are sorted out and implemented.
Reply from Helen Brett, Operations Manager at Alexandra Care Home

Thank you for the kind comments, Ann. No one plans to go to a care home and it's up to us as providers to make it a home-from-home and work with families to do the best for their loved ones. I'm so pleased you're happy with the care at Alexandra, thank you.

Review from Emma S (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 July 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This relates to my Dad's first couple of weeks only, but first impressions were very good. Taking Dad with my 85-year-old Mum to a care home was a very stressful and difficult time. Staff demonstrated skill and care in dealing with the situation. All staff I met on visits during his first two weeks
were friendly, helpful and obviously keen to help Dad settle in and were building relationships with him. Although very sad at my Dad having to move into a care home, the initial experience and observations gave me confidence that he was being well looked after and supported at Alexandra Court.
Please note; Feedback below is based on limited experience of some areas and covid restrictions. For example, activities and furnishings. Also, Dad moved to a different room (for understandable reasons), but to a less pleasant one, which is reflected in the facilities/room rating. The garden is lovely.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Alexandra Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.781 for Alexandra Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 105 Ratings = 4.781
  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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexandra Care Home 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
