It's Alexandra Grange staff from every department work jointly to ensure the needs and well-being of residents are met in a friendly and supportive way. Regular management meetings held for both residents and relatives encourage feedback and inclusion. The well-being of relatives is of equal importance,
and an active support group for relatives of residents with dementia has proved invaluable. The aim is to make both residents, relatives and staff feel part of the wider Alexandra Grange family, adding to AG being a warm, caring and professionally run home.

Thank you so much for your kind words, which I will share with the team. It's our pleasure to have you as part of the AG family.

My mum has now been a resident on the Dementia floor for over 6 months.
She has settled in very well and her quality of life has been enhanced by the care provided by the team at Alexandra Grange.
The staff are friendly and approachable.
Feedback is encouraged on all aspects of the care provided
- both one-to-one and also in regular relatives meetings.
My mum speaks very highly of the care she receives and enjoys the social environment created by the team.

My mother went into Alexandra Grange with Parkinson's and Lewy Bodies Dementia. Mum immediately made good progress, this was a combination of good food, excellent care, and support from wonderful staff including the leadership team. Without exception, I would recommend this home to anyone considering
residential or dementia care. I have to give them 10/10 on everything!

My mother had an extended stay (over a year) in Alexandra Grange. She received exemplary care which was challenging given her advanced Semantic Dementia, a horrible progressive disease where the brain slowly loses function.
The staff were very professional and kept my mother clean and well fed, despite
her loss of function and appetite. For an extended period, she was immobile and relied on being placed in a wheelchair to join other residents in the communal areas.

Mum was a resident at Alexandra Grange for the last, quite difficult months of her life. From the very beginning, I felt fully supported by the staff who made this difficult journey so much more bearable. Communication was excellent, care was delivered with the utmost kindness and sensitivity and myself
and other members of the family were always made to feel most welcome and never a nuisance. The home was always spotless, tidy and well-presented and there were always plentiful supplies of coffee, tea and cake in the cafe. Mum loved having her hair and nails done every week and this really cheered her up, as did the weekly visit from babies and toddlers. She received excellent medical attention throughout, with weekly opportunities to see a doctor. Alexandra Grange was Mum's choice of home, and I feel that it was a wise and sensible one.

Mum (who recently passed away) lived at Alexandra Grange for over a year. The staff at the home are a great team who strive to give residents the best possible life. There is a weekly set of activities ranging from art, flower arranging, board games and baking. Days themed around different countries
happen monthly. Most weeks there is a mums and babies session that residents look forward to. Trips out for residents though are rather few and far between. Something that could most definitely be improved. The food is excellent and family members and friends can have meals with residents- at a cost. Residents are encouraged to bring items from home to personalise their rooms. This is a care home, not a nursing home which means that complex care needs can't always be met as a resident ages further. The home is reasonably well led and a GP visits weekly. The home offers hairdressing, nail care and podiatry included in the fees. There is also dental care available with a visiting hygienist (extra cost).

Thank you for your feedback. It was lovely to get to know Mum during the time she lived at Alexandra Grange. She had a lovely sense of humour, always with smiling, she really enjoyed the activities, particularly drawing and painting and she was so talented as well.

Having had a month of respite back in August, it was a clear favourite of my mum's when returning for a full-time care position. Nice welcome and the staff were pleased to see Mum. This helps enormously with the transition from home. All staff seem caring, and easy to deal with and Mum seems as settled
as I could hope for. Thanks.

My experience of Alexandra Grange goes back to my husband's stay and, sadly death, several years ago and also my own stay from time to time when I decided to retire from a busy world and live my retirement here for the rest of my days. I am happy here and love it still.
Thank you all.

Reply from Sandra Patricio, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Alexandra Grange

Thank you for your review regarding Alexandra Grange. We are really thankful that you have chosen Alexandra Grange as a home for your husband and really thankful that you have now chosen us again when it came to the time that you were considering a new home. We are excited to have you with us.

My 90+-year-old cousin moved into care at Alexandra Grange nine months ago. The home impressed her, me and other relatives when we viewed it. The admission process was smooth and handled with sensitivity and warmth. The care since then has matched those high standards, with my cousin being treated as
an individual, respected and valued. The staff are excellent and provide excellent care. The food, facilities and activities are all good.
My cousin's health has improved since she moved into Alexandra Grange, and there is excellent support from the doctors and other staff from the Health Centre.
As well as my relative's care, family and friends feel welcome when visiting. As my cousin's next of kin and Attorney, my questions or concerns are always listened to and given a positive, helpful and timely response.
I'd be happy to be in Alexandra Grange myself if I needed care though hopefully not for a few years yet.

Pleased with the arrangement generally which was for respite care. Generally, it is very good on all counts but meals could be served on time and would like less minced food and less overcooked. The staff were friendly and helpful and excellent.

As soon as I entered the home, I got a good vibe and knew it would be a lovely place for my mum to be in. Mum has settled in well. She has a lovely ground-floor room with her own patio, which is lovely in the summer. The staff are all excellent to her and the family and always happy to help us with
any queries. The facilities are great, and Mum loves to have her hair and nails done each week. All in all, the some is a great place and more like a hotel than a home.

My father was at the home for four weeks of respite whilst I was abroad. In arranging his stay, the staff were very helpful and friendly, giving reassurance and clear information. The home looks lovely, well maintained and cared for, with facilities on each floor and felt like a hotel. The move-in was
straightforward and easy for me to prepare. My father had previously spent four weeks in a different home as part of a hospital discharge package and had not had a good experience, so was wary. However, it was very different at Alexandra Grange in all aspects, and I had no qualms about leaving him there.
He was made very welcome and said that the facilities and staff were excellent. Everyone was so kind, and nothing was too much trouble. He took part in some of the activities, which was good to hear. Sometimes, the food was not quite as the menu suggested. I hope to be able to use the home again for respite.

My friend has been resident for almost a year. From the moment she moved into Alexandra Grange Care Home her self esteem returned. She is both joyful and grateful to be a resident. She participates fully in daily activities and has made many new friends. It is always a pleasure to visit. I would like
to cite my friends birthday celebration. Alexandra Grange Care Home staff went above and beyond. I helped my friend invite 20 old friends. Alexandra Grange Care Home allocated a private lounge, decorated it with banners and balloons and provided at a very modest price, the most scrumptious buffet. A stupendous effort! My friend was utterly overwhelmed. The standard of care given by all the staff from office, reception, maintenance, catering, laundry, beauty and carers is first class. She thoroughly enjoys the choice of food and the social dining, not to mention weekly hair do and nails! My friend was even able to attend my wedding as Alexandra Grange Care Home provided an escort to support her throughout the whole event. Considering our experience over the past 12 months, I rate Alexandra Grange Care Home 10/10.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.814)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.814) out of 10 for Hallmark Alexandra Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.814 for Hallmark Alexandra Grange is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.814

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hallmark Alexandra Grange is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
