Review from Susan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Dad has been here for several years now and can honestly say the staff have been a credit. They are hands-on, and nothing seems a trouble for them. They have kept me informed when Dad has been ill, cared for him and had him back on his feet when, at times, it looked unlikely. The place is spotlessly clean and has recently been refurbished to a high standard. There is plenty of entertainment and even some aspects of gardening, and residents can enjoy the summer sun outside. The food is prepared and cooked well with a varied menu.

Overall Experience

My mum is a resident of Prince Alfred. She has Alzheimer's. She is happy there. She enjoys the meals and the choice of food available. There are a range of activities to keep her entertained, as well as outings when possible. She has been made to feel safe by the staff, with constant reassurance, when she is confused or upset. When she was ill recently, her recovery was thanks to the staff, who acted quickly to get her to the hospital. I know my mum is in safe hands, and I trust them to treat her with respect and kindness. I couldn't ask for more from them.

Review from Sue W (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum is currently a resident at Prince Alfred care home. I came with some family members to view the home before Mum moved in, and we were very impressed. The building has recently undergone a major revamp and is bright, modern, beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. It is warm and feels homely with lovely fresh flowers, candles and chandeliers, and we can't praise the manager and the whole team enough for the kindness and care Mum is receiving and the dignity and respect shown to our mum. The food is outstanding, and apart from three meals a day, the staff also serve afternoon tea and supper to the residents. There are also regular activities organised for the residents. We are happy in the knowledge that our mum is receiving the best care possible. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mum is living at the home, and I have to say it's really home from home for her... I have reports and photos sent to me regularly. She loves being here; she feels safe and comfortable... always praising the staff. I live away from Liverpool and really happy and relaxed that she gets well looked after. December was a busy time for everyone, but every day she had something to look forward to. There was loads of entertainment.

Review from Alison H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum went to Prince Alfred in December initially for respite care after being in hospital. My brother and I had viewed Prince Alfred in the summer looking at possible long-term care for my mum, and were very impressed with the home and staff then. However, since my mum has been there, we have seen first-hand how wonderful the staff are and how caring they all are. My mum is so well looked after and looks amazing now, and we feel so relieved and happy that she is being so well cared for. The home is so clean and bright, and I feel so lucky to have found Prince Alfred for Mum. The manager and her team have been so helpful and reassuring and have gone out of their way to ensure Mum settled in so quickly and so well. There are lots of activities arranged, which are so good, and the residents really enjoy them. I would recommend Prince Alfred to anyone looking for residential for a family member.

Review from Petrina B (Niece of Resident) published on 26 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My “aunt” has been a resident for a number of years. During that time, she has been very well cared for. She enjoys the interaction with her fellow residents and staff alike. All her needs are readily cared for. When visiting, sadly not as often as we would like due to distances involved, we have always been made very welcome and watched the wonderful interaction of staff and residents. Nothing is ever too much trouble for the staff, and there is always a friendly smile and gentle kindness observed.

Review from Jean S (Relative of Resident) published on 23 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Our relative was admitted to Prince Alfred in December 2022 - as an emergency.
From the beginning of the procedure - the staff were really helpful, thoughtful, kind and responded to individual needs.

As our relative's nursing needs increased - she was admitted to another nursing home. I would like to commend Prince Alfred staff for taking extra care/effort to return a Xmas jumper to the new home - this act of kindness made our relatives Xmas (Xmas2023).

Always a pleasure to visit my mum at Prince Alfred as the staff are so friendly and I know she is getting the best care possible there as well as many laughs.

All the carers take time to talk and make sure she is feeling okay and the entertainment lady is a gem and well loved by everyone especially my mum.

Review from Viki C (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I can’t sing the praises of Prince Alfred and every one of its staff more highly. From the moment first visited we were met with kindness, understanding and friendliness. The staff member we met was hugely sympathetic and went out of her way to help.

The home is literally that home. It’s immaculate, spotless and beautifully furnished. My mum had a lovely room overlooking a beautiful garden and fields beyond. The staff are unbelievable. Nothing is too much trouble. They constantly talk to residents and offer drinks, food and treats. The activities coordinator is the loveliest woman always thinking of new fun activities to keep residents happy. We visited many homes terrible, some ok and some good but none compared to Prince Alfred. The manager prides herself on running a fantastic home with fantastic staff, she deserves a medal. If you’re looking for somewhere for your loved one look no further. You will find no better than Prince Alfred!

Review from P H (Son of Resident) published on 4 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A wonderful home. The staff here are amazing and incredibly attentive to the needs of the residents. We were immediately made to feel welcome on our first visit to have a look at the home and our minds were made up immediately. A lovely location overlooking the park, with wonderful landscaped gardens for the residents to enjoy and with the recent refurbishment to the main communal areas and bedrooms, the place is immaculate and the home is truly a home from home.

Couldn't recommend Prince Alfred's enough!

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home

Thank you for an outstanding review - it is wonderful to hear how welcome you felt at our home. Our team will be really thrilled to hear you loved the garden too! Best wishes, Fae

Review from Linda C (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has been a care-home resident at Prince Alfred since March 2021.
The care she has received from all of the staff has been exemplary!
She recently had a fall, had to be checked out at hospital and was discharged the next day. Throughout this time, the manager and her staff kept me updated on how she was.
I visited Mum the next day in the care home. All of the staff displayed genuine warmth, care and concern for her.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Prince Alfred staff make this care home the best there is. Myself and my family feel very blessed that my mum is in your care.

Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience

My dad received the best care and support from all the staff at Prince Alfred during his 2 and a half years there, they 100% supported his transition into dementia care and I cannot fault them. My dad was very happy there and I would recommend this home if any family are looking into a residential home for their loved ones.

Overall Experience
I have nothing but praise for Prince Alfred Care Home. My aunt moved here just over 18 months ago. She has learning difficulties. The staff made her transition into care so easy. My aunt has flourished here and loves the staff and residents alike. The staff are so friendly and they obviously love caring for my aunt. She has a lovely room overlooking the park and has all her personal belongings there so she settled in really quickly.

We can’t thank them enough and we would highly recommend Prince Alfred Care Home to anyone looking for high-quality, friendly and responsive care in lovely surroundings. Thank you!

Overall Experience
I couldn’t recommend Prince Alfred for the care of your loved one enough.
All the staff go above and beyond to always personalise the care of each individual resident, nothing is ever too much trouble and they treat all the residents with dignity, respect and good humour at all times.
Whenever you visit the home there is always a lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere and staff always have lots of different events/activities on to cheer the residents up so they can do as much or as little as they want but always feel included.
I am so happy my nan is at Prince Alfred’s, it was a really hard decision to have to put her into care but it brings my mum and I tremendous comfort that she is in a care home that is second to none.

Thank you so much to all the staff who work so incredibly hard and do such an amazing job.

My father has lived at Prince Alfred for nearly eighteen months and has settled there very well. The staff are caring and know their residents very well. I recently visited for a game of Scrabble, played in the lounge and was made very welcome. The atmosphere was light and bright with banter and conversation between residents and staff made a very pleasant afternoon.

Overall Experience

My mum is a resident at Prince Albert and has thrived since moving there. The staff are kind and caring and do everything they can to make the residents life's comfortable and enjoyable. The residents are treated with dignity and respect, and staff always find time for a friendly conversation or to offer assistance. The accommodation is great with lots of thoughtful touches providing a home-from-home environment. The home is spotlessly clean throughout. The food is good and well-presented. There are also activities and socialising so residents quickly feel welcome and part of the community and days pass pleasurably. My congratulations and thanks to the manager and all of the staff for providing a truly outstanding and personal care experience which makes a huge difference to the lives of those in their care.
