My dad is happy at Prince Alfred. He took a while to settle, but is now happy and joins in with activities with other residents. The staff have all been lovely with my dad, they are very welcoming and when we speak with them it is clear they know my dads likes and dislikes.

Overall Experience

I moved my Dad into the Care Home in December, and it was a big upset at the time, the decison to move him in and also being around Christmas time too, but the staff were great from day one. It has taken a bit of time and there are still a few teething issues with my Dad (not the home) but he has settled now and understands he needs 24 hour care that the home are giving him. The home is great, the staff are always really great with us, and have been very welcoming and kind to us as a difficult time, helping not only my Dad but also us too dealing with what comes with care home moves. Can't thank them enough, they have been brilliant with him.

Alfie Care Home is absolutely brilliant. The staff are all incredibly kind, helpful, and genuinely caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble, and they always go the extra mile to make residents feel comfortable, safe, and well looked after. You can really tell they take pride in what they do, and it shows in the atmosphere of the home. I couldn't speak highly enough of the team - they're all fantastic.

Review from J B (Niece of Resident) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My Aunt recently made the decision that she could no longer live independently and wanted to move into full time residential care. We do not live locally and as such took advice from her friends and neighbours as to finding a suitable home for her. Prince Alfred was by far the most recommended home and as such was the first home we looked at . We were impressed with the warm welcome my aunt received when she moved in. She has settled in well - the staff seem very caring and work hard to ensure the residents are safe and happy.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. We're so pleased your aunt felt welcomed and has settled in comfortably. It's wonderful to hear that our team's care and commitment have made a positive impression. We truly appreciate your trust in us.

Review from V D (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It is the staff that make a care home appealing to residents. The staff at Prince Alfred Care Home are all fantastic. They are attentive, hard working and genuinely lovely people managed by wonderful senior managers. It is clear to me that the senior staff have excellent management skills. The staff are happy and enjoy working there. This joy is passed onto the residents who seem to be comfortable, happy and re-assured their care is a priority. I was there yesterday and it was a birthday for an elderly resident. All the staff and a lot of residents gathered around that resident and a large cake was presented to the resident. Everyone was singing happy birthday and the resident was overjoyed. There are various activities and open days to keep the residents involved in the community. One of the last events was a mini zoo arriving at the home according to my mother! They celebrate key dates like V.E. Day with war time music and a party. Well done everyone at Prince Alfred Care Home.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that our team's warmth and dedication made such a positive impression. Creating joyful moments-like birthday celebrations and community events-is at the heart of what we do, and it's wonderful to know they bring happiness to our residents. Your kind words mean a lot to us. Thank you for your support!

Review from Jane A (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Dad has been at the care home for 6 years plus and he has always been well looked after by all the staff.

The team are all friendly and supportive and have always had Dad's interests at the heart of the care they provide. All the staff from cleaning ,laundry, kitchen , the carers and the office staff all make the home a welcoming and a lovely community to be part of for my Dad. and we couldn't be happier with all the care that he receives. Would highly recommend Prince Alfred for anyone looking for residential care for a loved one.

Review from C M (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Most staff are really friendly and helpful and clearly put lots of effort into doing a wonderful job looking after my mum.

She is well looked after and I was really impressed recently when there was an outbreak of an infection, that everything was well organised and quarantine and other measures were swiftly implemented and information was well disseminated- I was informed how mum had been seen by appropriate medical staff and then also when the results of swabs came back was reassured that it was nothing serious and so quarantine was lifted . Thank you - very reassuring.
My only (minor) concern is that with mum having dementia it is difficult for me to know exactly what activities take place, and whether she joins in with things, as she can't remember reliably what has happened during the day/week, and often cannot distinguish what is real and what she has imagined.

Prince Alfred is a very good home and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased to hear you felt reassured during the recent illness. We're glad your mum is doing well and truly appreciate your support. Furthermore, your feedback has been relayed to our team and we will continue to ensure we provide the very best care.

My sister was admitted initially for respite and was immediately made to feel welcome by all staff. She is now a full time resident and in the short time she has been there we have gradually seen an improvement in her well being.

Review from P L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I cannot recommend Prince Alfred Residential Care Home highly enough. The level of care provided to my grandmother has been nothing short of outstanding. The staff are incredibly attentive, compassionate, and dedicated to ensuring she feels safe.
As a family we were concerned about the transition from living at home to residential care. I can honestly say your team have made this a seamless process and ensured my grandmother felt safe and supported with her care needs
Prince Alfred has gone above and beyond to ensure all needs are attended to. The cook regularly liaises with my grandmother to ensure that she is happy with the choices of menu and available snacks. The exceptional puddings are a particular favourite!

Knowing my grandmother is in such capable and caring hands has brought our family immense peace of mind. If you are looking for a residential home where care, dignity and quality of life are the top priorities, I highly recommend Prince Alfred. I would recommend here in a heartbeat!

Review from Jon C (Nephew of Resident) published on 27 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Five years ago Prince Alfreds accepted our 'auntie' into care following emergency hospitalisation. She had lived in the same house all her life and was independent and strong-willed. We loved her, the connection to us was simply our mother's best school friend. We had always kept in touch and I had POA. But our family was over 250 miles away and no other relatives. Thankfully, the local church was her centre for everything.
It was a quick decision, with an earlier steer from Auntie and the church connection. She was always happy at Prince Alfred's and interacted with the staff who managed the care like the guests were their own family.

We have just said a final goodbye to Auntie after a brief illness where the home was simply wonderful. Many of her caring team from Prince Alfreds looked in on the service and celebration of her life. So lovely to chat with them all. They really did make this care home the best we possibly could have selected. A wonderful team and place. Thank You.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and touching review about your experience of Prince Alfred. The team would have been honoured to have been a part of Auntie's journey and to have been able to offer her care and comfort during her time with us. It means so much to know that you both...

Review from J A (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Firstly I want to thank the manager and all of her team for the love and warmth both Mum and I received whilst Mum was with Prince Alfred. My mum spent two very happy years with them, and I also got to know everyone and I can genuinely say it really is a place filled with love, laughter and compassion. My mum sadly died in May, it was just her time. As I don't live in Liverpool as mum neared her passing she very kindly let me stay in the home so that I could be with my mum 24/7 and that was priceless to me, it really let me spend those last days/weeks at her side and I know it was a godsend to my mum too. My mum was so well looked after as she declined and at the same time I was looked after too as it was a very emotional time for me, but everyone, and I really mean everyone, was so kind and always had a hug for me.

If your loved one is lucky enough to find this very special home you can rest assured you will feel safe too, knowing they are being looked after by such a wonderful crew.
