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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Thank 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.

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.
