Review from Laurence S (Son of Resident) published on 19 March 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother is well looked after in this home. I find the staff very friendly to relatives and take to time to update relatives about the daily life of the resident.
Food has improved a lot as well.

Review from M I (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mum has been a resident at Prince Alfred since May 2018 in all of this time I have found all staff members to be welcoming, caring, conscientious and approachable. The manager has an "open door policy" and is very proactive in all issues.
This was one of the main areas that drew me to Prince Alfred how welcoming the home is, spotlessly clean and the caring attitude of all staff. Finding suitable accommodation for my mum was a decision that I found heartbreaking but I was reassured (totally) by the management and staff at Prince Alfred.
↩Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home
Dear M I, thank you for taking the time to review Prince Alfred. Whilst we understand how difficult the transition can be into care for both our residents and their loved ones, it is really reassuring to hear how happy you are with the home and the caring nature of our staff. Best wishes.

Review from Linda M (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
After looking after my mum for many years, and especially the very difficult last 12 months, I believe I now have peace of mind knowing she is being looked after very well and cared for 24/7. The people in the home really care and make my mum's life safe and comfortable, I am listened to if I have any concerns and believe this is a very good home and my mum is happy here.
↩Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Prince Alfred Residential Care Home
Dear Linda, Thank you for your kind words - it is wonderful to hear how much peace of mind you feel knowing your mother is receiving the very best care. I will be sure to pass your feedback on to the team. Best wishes, Fae

The care home is clean and warm. Furniture and décor is all of a good standard and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Review from Christine T (Niece of Resident) published on 22 November 2016 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My Uncle's mobility deteriorated rapidly during the 2 years that we cared for him at home. We accepted he needed alternative care or we would lose him to a fall or worse still, loneliness. We live nearby so we were fortunate to have local knowledge of the excellent care which this home has provided for many years. Briefly - all staff are caring, friendly, patient and approachable. The early days were difficult as Uncle took a while to settle but the staff were wonderful. The environment is always welcoming, visitors are known by name – not just residents. More like visiting a large family home than a care home. You can chat, share a joke with staff/residents. There is always something going on 25th anniversary, Halloween, firework displays –plus they have their own mini- bus and an ‘Entertainments Officer’ ! Health issues are dealt with promptly and we are always informed asap. Our family of 4 could never offer this level of care 24/7.
My Uncle is not lonely anymore.

Review from Lesley W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I find all the staff in this care home really lovely. They treat all the residents very kindly and with respect. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Anything to do with their health is dealt with very quickly until my mother-in-law came to this care home. I hadn't any experience of homes. I am amazed at hoe much work is involved in caring for our elderly relatives. I have been very impressed by the level of care.
