Review from Michael P (Son of Resident) published on 3 February 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother came here in April 2019 from hospital as palliative care having been given, at best, a few weeks to live. She lived for more than a year and a half, and one of the main reasons for this was definitely the good quality care provided. The staff were genuinely kind and caring. My mother came to regard it as her home and was happy there until she finally died in November last year. I was responsible for looking after my mother and it was a great relief for me not to have to worry about the care she was receiving.

Review from C B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was transferred here on discharge from hospital for end of life care, however long or short that may be. We were pleased to have Alexander Court as one of our options and feel that we made the right choice. Mum is really well looked after, given the care and support she needs in her twilight weeks. The staff are extremely professional and caring and in these difficult times of Coronavirus, still find time to support the family too. Mum always looks lovely when we go to see her and the staff are very attentive.

Review from Andrew B (Son of Resident) published on 19 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We can honestly say that the standard of care and understanding at this home is second to none. The staff and management looked after my father exceptionally well in difficult circumstances up until his passing, always keeping us informed and making us feel very welcome on visiting.

The level of communication from management and the very caring staff on all levels are a credit to the company. This home is highly recommended to anyone who has the difficult decision to make with a relative; this is a home from home. Having just seen the CQC rating, I would ignore that to be honest.

Review from F B (Wife of Resident) published on 24 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My husband was end of life. The staff ensured that he was never uncomfortable and was never distressed. All medication was given on time and efficiently. His care was excellent, he was always shaved and clean and didn't smell. His mouth and eyes were always moist. I couldn't wish for anything more for him at the end of his life. I was also well supported and given frequent coffees.

The standard of care at Alexander Court is excellent. The staff are well trained, supported and administer a very high level of care. I visit my mother every day and regularly observe both the day and night staff.

The home is also very clean and the food is very good. I am delighted that my mother is so well looked after.

Overall Experience
I have recently been visiting my aunt at Alexander Court and find it to be a lovely "home from home".
The staff are fantastic and friendly.
My aunt's room is always clean and tidy. The food is lovely.

Most of all, it is clear that my aunt is well looked after and loved.

Review from Gillian W (Goddaughter of Resident) published on 28 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Since my Godfather has been here, I have had no worries about his everyday welfare. He has been looked after when he had has his "off" days and I have been contacted on any occasion when he has been in need of any treatment.

His health has improved, as has his state of mind. He enjoys being here and is looked after so well. I have had no negative thoughts about his welfare whilst being here.

Review from Shirley F (Sister of Resident) published on 27 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Having only been able to gather my impressions of this home for 5 + weeks, it's a fairly short time to observe,m but I sensed a pleasant, homely atmosphere and a bright and light feel to the place. The cleanliness too was noticeable. All the staff I have seen are kind, compassionate and encouraging to my sister. Any medical needs have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. The food is good; returning from a morning out with my sister, I was given a nutritious hot meal and my offer to pay was something was rejected.

I feel my sister is in good hands.

Review from Damien N (Son of Resident) published on 22 February 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Alexander Court cared for my mother between December 2018 and February 2019.
From the moment she arrived (from 2 months in hospital), she was cared for and looked after extremely well.
She settled in straight away, getting to know the friendly and caring staff from day 1.
I cannot thank them enough for how they cared for and made her stay enjoyable and comfortable.
She was very happy there and dealt with in a dignified way when she passed away.

Once again thank you from all her family and friends.

Over the last few weeks, staffing levels improved and staff morale. Let's hope it continues. Food needs improving - ie better quality not quantity.

My mother has been a resident for around 8 month's having moved from another home. The staff are brilliant with her and always ensure she is well looked after. We have been very lucky to get her a place at Alexander Court.

Overall Experience

I am confident that my husband will receive good respite care at Alexander Court Care Home. The carers are professional and friendly, the home is clean and well decorated with homely touches and visitors are made welcome. I know that some of the staff have worked at Alexander Court for a number of years which I think is a good recommendation.

Rachael Harford
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
