Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Janine T (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from David B (Husband of Resident) published on 21 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
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.

Review from Lynn H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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 Home
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.

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.
