Review from Brenda S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Dad has been in the Alexander Care Home for over 2 years now and he consistently says he is well looked after.
We visit every week and have always been made to feel welcome. My sister also visits each week, on a separate day to myself and she too feels very welcome.

The staff are very friendly and helpful and we have witnessed many instances of empathy and caring above and beyond basic requirements.

Since my mother came to Alexander after a stroke, she has been treated with the utmost kindness and would not have her in any other place. The staff are wonderful to her and to her family.

Review from Lisa C (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Alexander Care home is very welcoming and a lovely place. The staff are very pleasant and caring. My mum really enjoys her home at Alexander and feels content and happy. I felt very upset having to put mum in a care home but mum had dementia and needed 24-hour care.
Alexander Care Home are great and put my mind at rest. They always keep in touch with me when mum's needs or health changes and are never too busy to chat to me about mum. I would recommend this home.
