Review from Gwion J (Son of Resident) published on 3 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After my father passed in early 2025 my 90 year old mother struggled enormously, needing transfusions for severe anaemia at one point, then after a fall leading to hospitalisation with a fracture. Fiercely independent she was reluctant to accept option of residential care but gradually accepted she
couldn't manage and was won over by warm welcome she received at the Alexandra. She struggles with her memory (not dementia) and thinks she is back in hospital at times, which strangely enough she sees as a positive i.e a safe place. Since moving in last Autumn her health has improved considerably, she is much more mobile and a lot more alert - huge testament to constant care staff team offer on a 24/7 basis. She has settled in incredibly well and most importantly the staff team are extremely sensitive to her independent spirit. If she doesn't want to do something (within bounds) they try and accommodate. No set visiting hours and welcoming staff make it easy to drop in whenever. Homely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alexandra takes great care of My Mother , She is very happy , all the staff connect brilliantly with her.
She has Alzheimer's , but the very high standard of care means that She is never distressed.
My Mother has been encouraged and enabled to continue with her creative Artwork which gives her a
lot of pleasure and She feels part of a community.
The amazing experienced Staff relate so well with her , and show a lot of kindness every day.
Her quality of life could not be better , and We are so lucky that the Alexandra is her home .

It’s lovely seeing the great work the entire nursing home staff put in to make it a warm and friendly place that makes visiting always a pleasure. Having a walk along the beach next to the home is an added bonus.

I am always made welcome by the manager and her staff who are both Welsh and English speaking. The staff go way above their duty, nothing is too much trouble. If I had to go into a care home that is where I want to go.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.621) out of 10 for The Alexandra is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.771 for The Alexandra is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 35 Ratings = 4.771
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Alexandra is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.25
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0.6
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
