Mum has been in The Alexandra for around three years, we are very happy with the home, she is very well looked after, me and my sister cared for Mum for a long time before Mum came here, and it was very hard. The staff are wonderful and very polite.

My wife went into the home, remembered nothing, could not walk without help and very down and sad. But now all the staff get on very well with my wife and I am more than pleased with the way they all look after her and myself, yes they look after me. Drinks, meals, snacks and made so welcome. I am so
happy my wife is warm, safe and looked after. Thank you all at The Alexandra Home. I am so happy now.

My mum has dementia and was living at home with my dad when she fell and broke her hip. She went into The Alexandra for a short stay. I'm not sure whether she will be able to return home, but if she cannot then as a family we will be more than happy for her to stay at this lovely nursing home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The transfer of our dad from hospital care to The Alexandra Nursing Home, a few months ago, was managed well with no distress for Dad at all. He was immediately welcomed and made comfortable in a good-sized room that was spotlessly clean. Since then, all our queries have been answered and our requests
have been addressed. The staff are friendly, caring and accommodating. We feel assured that Dad is being well cared for by the manager and her team and importantly for us, he is comfortable and in a safe place.
Reply from Dennis Tahalele, Area & Compliance Manager at The Alexandra Nursing HomeThank you for such a positive review. We are pleased Dad has settled in well and that you feel assured about the caring environment we provide. Please do let us know if there is anything we can do better.

Friendly, efficient and caring staff. The home always feels warm and welcoming and has always a lovely smell coming from the kitchen. As I walk through the corridors to reach my dad's room, it is obvious that all residents are comfortable and extremely happy.

It is greatly appreciated and echoes what we feel The Alexandra Nursing Home stands for. Please do let us know if there is anything we can do to improve. Pleased to hear Dad has settled in well.

My experience of The Alexandra is that it is excellent in all respect of my wife's care. I am very impressed. My wife is treated as an individual with her own individual needs, not just as another resident. Her room is exceptional, always spotless and immaculate. Staff are caring and supportive,e and
management are always available if required. The manager contacts me regularly to report progress and any problems my wife may be experiencing. It is excellent.

My Nan has been at Alexandra for around 7 years with Alzheimer's, her care needs have changed throughout her time here and at each stage, they have been able to meet all her care needs to an excellent standard. Good communications with family throughout COVID-19 they have remained COVID free. Couldn't
thank the whole team enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father loved living at the Alexandra Nursing Home but unfortunately due to his challenging behaviour, he had to move. He loved all the staff who were very professional whilst maintaining a friendly and helpful manner. They kept me up to date with his issues and I had every faith in trusting them
in providing all his care needs. They were always very welcoming when I came to visit and I would totally recommend Alexandra home to anyone who is considering a care home for a loved one.
Reply from Dennis Tahalele, Area & Compliance Manager at The Alexandra Nursing HomeThank you so much for taking the time to post such a positive review. It is very unfortunate that we cannot continue to offer this type of specialised care but we are pleased to hear that we have been able to do so positively for the time being. We sincerely hope dad will settle in well at his new home.

Staff are very attentive and friendly. Clearly become attached to the patients and treat them as family.
More staff are needed as the girls are overworked and underpaid.

Very welcoming and friendly.
Although it is in need of some renovation, it is made up for by the kindness and caring of the staff.
If we need respite again, we will definitely come back here.
It's not what it looks like, it's what is provided for by the staff.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.916)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.916) out of 10 for The Alexandra Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.702 for The Alexandra Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.702
  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 4.214 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Alexandra Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.714
  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.
