Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Went through my dad's care plan. I was very pleased with how comprehensive it seemed, there didn't appear to be any aspect of his care not covered.
I think all the staff do an amazing job and I feel everyone is approachable and friendly. There is always someone to have a friendly chat with if the
visit has been difficult.
Dad is always clean and well cared for, what more could I ask?

My husband has now been here 6 months and he has settled in great. The staff are brilliant and very friendly, and always willing to stop, help and listen if you need them. The room my husband has is clean and big, overlooking the road outside so it gives him something to look at. Food is great. In fact,
I can't fault this home at all.

While being at this residence I can find no faults with staff/food and am treated with the highest respect. The staff listen to all that you say and often ask my wife as to what I have to say.

Review from Kathleen W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was my mum's birthday on Remembrance Sunday. Various members of mum's family came for a birthday tea. We were made to feel very welcome. We all sat around a long table along with mum's fellow residents. Although mum only sits for a minute at a time. The room was decorated with bunting for Remembrance
Day and balloons for mum's birthday. The kitchen team had prepared us a lovely tea. The care staff were attentive of us and very friendly, despite obviously being busy helping residents with their meals. Everyone sang Happy Birthday while mum blew candles out on her cake. A lovely time was had by all the family. Thank you all very much for this memory!

It was quite busy and some of the residents were painting. Staff are friendly and cheerful and offered me a cup of tea. The lounge area was clean and felt homely. My friend seemed to be content and in a much better spirit than when I last saw her. I can see that she is well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. My sister was being looked after very well and she seemed happy to be looked after by all of the staff. The room was very nice and it was good to see that there were family pictures and her own ornaments. My sister said the food was very
nice and she had plenty to eat and drink. It is a relief to see her settled and content.

My mother is a resident here and she is being very well looked after. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Mum has made some good relationships with the staff. The staff also make me feel welcome when I'm visiting too, taking extra care to help me as I'm disabled myself. An excellent service all
round. Thank you to all of you for taking care of my mum. I'm involved in all decisions.

My mum has been here since 2014 and her health has improved and she has gained weight.
The home needs decorating.

The staff at the care home are excellent and really care about the residents and their families.
I feel like we are part of a big family.
If there is an issue we are able to raise it and between us and the home, we find an appropriate solution.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.545)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.545) 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 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 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 4.795 for Alexandra Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (97 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.795
  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 4.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexandra Care Home is based on 10 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.75
    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 10 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.
