My experience of Alexander Court was the wonderful caring staff who took great care of my dad in his final years.

The staff from managers to cleaners and handyman and all carers were excellent.

Overall Experience

Im really disappointed to see that staff are being moved around when as a residents family we was expecting staff to remain the same as it had always been the new senior on the residential unit has been fantastic so I'm frustrated to see her move floors as she is brilliant upstairs and the residents need her to speak for them, she will tell tell you the truth she is trustworthy and further more my family appreciate the care she gives and also I have seen for myself the impact she has on the residents in the home they are full of laughter and love her being there just like a care home should be

Overall Experience

My husband was at Alexander Court for end of life care. His final months were tough, but made easier by the friendly, professional and attentive team. He loved the food. The carers and nurses looked after him very well, and the activities team made sure he was included if he wished. He was treated with respect, but loved a joke with the staff too. They humoured him immensely and kept us informed of the day's antics. We were treated as members of the Alexander Court family. The manager ensured he had dignity and care in his final hours, for which we are forever grateful. Thank you to absolutely everyone at Alexander Court.

Reply from Rachael Harford, Registered Manager at Alexander Court Care Home

What a lovely review to receive. We are so glad that you felt part of our Alexander family, that is something myself and my team strive so hard to achieve. He definitely loved a joke, and his love for a daily full English and seconds will remain part of our memories. He will be very much missed, as...

Review from Lynne W (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My father was resident from March 25 to October 25 (7 months), he was extremely well cared for by all the staff and management. Food was of a good standard, plenty of choice to meet individual choice. Carers were always polite, cheerful, respectful and caring. They maintained his dignity and kept his appearance clean and smart. Activities for stimulation and socialisation were available daily, although his preference was to remain in his own room and watch his TV. However, activity staff still call on him to ensure he could change his mind if wished. Management ensured a suitable room to celebrate his 100th birthday party and made it memorable with a card/cake from the staff. Visiting daily provided family the opportunity to establish excellent relationships with staff/management who were readily available to discuss/share and nursing updates/needs/concerns relating to my father. I would have no hesitation in recommending the nursing home to anyone, and should I need care at any point in my life, I would hope to be provided care at such standard.

Reply from Rachael Harford, Manager at Alexander Court Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt and detailed review. It was our absolute privilege to care for your father during his seven months with us. Knowing that he felt well-supported, respected, and comfortable truly means the world to our entire team.

We're delighted...

My mum is a resident at Alexander Court and has settled in very well. The manager and her team are caring, friendly and approachable. Mum is very happy and comfortable and has made some nice friends.

Review from Annette B (Resident / Service User) published on 26 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am, most of all, grateful to Alexander Court & its staff at all levels, for helping me to regain health, after arriving here much in need of care.
It is inevitable to feel, at times, isolated from family, friends, and the world at large. Within these constraints, I have been treated with care & respect, and have been given as much freedom as rules & safety allow. I have appreciated having my own washroom & being, gradually, encouraged to do as much as I could for myself.

My thanks to everyone at Alexander Court for their help and friendly care.

Review from Julie G (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum was a resident here for just over 3 years until her death in September 2024. The care she received was excellent.
The nurses and carers were lovely and couldn't do enough for her.

She, unfortunately, due to dementia, didn't know anything about where she was but I'm sure if she did she would have felt the same.

Reply from Rachael Harford, Manager at Alexander Court Care Home

From myself and the team we would like to thank you for your kind words, they really do make us all smile. Your mum was loved by us all and we will miss her dearly. Please know that we are thinking of you all and do not hesitate to come and pay us a visit. Thank you.

Mum was in the nursing home for one and a half years.
Happy and well cared for by all the brilliant staff.
She was dubious about going in the home but quickly settled and was loved by all the staff.

Nothing was too much trouble, they used to sit and chat with Mum whilst she reminisced about her past.

Rachael HarfordJob Title:Registered Manager and NurseJoined: 2024

I qualified as a Registered Nurse in 2013 and spent my first years working within the NHS on both medical admissions and critical care. It is here that I gained my clinical experience and developed the skills and knowledge required to provide excellent resident care. I then moved into Care Homes and have worked for numerous years at both the Deputy and Manager level. I have completed my Level 5 Qualification IAO Diploma in Leadership for Health and Social Care for Adults and my passion is to ensure that our residents live a life where they are valued, loved and cared for as one of our own. I want our home to feel like their home and I want their family and friends to feel welcome into our home-from-home environment.

I have an open-door policy so please feel free to come and meet me when I am in Monday to Friday.

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you all soon
