My father has advanced Alzheimer's. He came to Alexander's house last year and has been really looked after well. The staff is welcoming, friendly, kind, highly dedicated and motivated not just with my father but with other residents too as I observe when I go to the care home. As compared to last year
when my father came to this care home, he looks really well and has gained some weight too.

Alexander House employs carers of the highest calibre. They are patient, kind, and effective. They cared for my Mother night and day with integrity, intelligence, and imagination. I would highly recommend this small, personal care home in the centre of East Sheen.

The staff in the home are very caring and treat the residents like members of their own family.
I am regularly kept informed of my father's situation either when I visit or by telephone calls.
My father has been here now for over two years, and I am very happy with the way he has been looked after.

My dear friend has been a resident at Alexander House for a long time and has been beautifully taken care of ever since she moved in there. Whenever I have visited her, I have been impressed by the loving care and attention given to her at all times; the staff don't just do what is necessary, they always
go the extra mile to make her, and indeed the other residents, feel special.
Because I live quite a long way from the home, and cannot visit my friend as often as I would like to, I am always very grateful that I am kept up to date on her progress. I would like to thank everyone so much for their continued care and attention. Well done!

I have been a volunteer at Alexander House for a couple of months now. I have gotten to know the residents and the staff quite well and I’m made to feel welcome and part of this caring family, I love them all.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Alexander House to any friends or family member
who was in need of a care home.
I can honestly say that all of the staff give 100% dedication to each and every one of the residents.
The needs for each individual are taken care of with respect, dignity and compassion.

My mym has settled in well. The staff are very caring. The home feels like a real home, and the ethos of staff visiting the resident's home to do their work rather than regarding it as their place of work helps achieve this. A warm and welcoming place that carers well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Alexander House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.722 for Alexander House is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.722

  • 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 Alexander House is based on 17 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2, which has been reached with 17 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.

Dr Ali has 16 years extensive experience in medicine, working in different settings abroad and in the UK, including hospitals, GP surgery and care sector, and also worked in different international charities through World Health Organisation (WHO).


Dr Ali opted out from National Health Services and joined in Health and Social Care in 2014 as he served his father as his carer. Dr Ali believes the time when he provided care for his father enlightened the importance of care for vulnerable in Health and Social Care. His background in medicine is a very effective channel in understanding the health and medical conditions of vulnerable, and provision of care when it is needed the most.

Dr Ali has gained intensive experiences through working in health and social care in different positions, including Clinical Lead to Quality Assurance Manager and as a Registered Manager. Dr Ali has completed his profession qualification of NVQ Level 5 Diploma and ILM NVQ Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership in Health and Social Care.


Dr Ali is a strong believer of team work, and empowering staff and maintaining the transparency at all stages of care provision as a manager. Dr Ali has up-to-date knowledge and profound base of understanding of laws and regulations practiced in UK and abroad. Dr Ali joined in Alexander House in October 2021 as Registered Home Manager, Dr Ali believes that caring with the service user at Alexander House is imperative for their well-beings.


Dr Ali strongly believe we are not caring for the residents but we are caring with them.


Giorgiana

Giorgiana Grecu

Job Title: Team Leader

Joined: 2021

Giorgiana’s journey at Alexander House Care Home is an example for all those who are working in the Health and Social Care sector. It is easy to achieve and progress when you are on the same track in the same field but if someone goes the extra mile despite all the barriers in the way and reaches the peak that is called achievement. Giorgiana is one of them who crossed all the barriers, gained knowledge, proved to be compassionate, dedicated and always showed the willingness to progress and learn.


Giorgiana joined our Alexander House Care Home in 2021 as a trainee housekeeper. She was struggling at the beginning with language barriers as she only knew basic English and was not aware of the system at all. Giorgiana’s eagerness and commitment to progress, let her to become not only a competent housekeeper but a head of housekeeping within 6 months.


She spent extra time learning English and the system voluntarily attended training internally and contributed immensely to gaining a good rating for IPC in CQC inspection. It was the early days when the pandemic Covid-19 was subsiding and infection control was a hot topic all over the world, especially in the health and social care sector. Her dedication to controlling infection at Alexander House Care Home prevented all the service users and the home from being infection-free. Giorgiana also trained the newly recruited housekeeping staff and embedded the legacy of cleanliness and an infection-free environment at Alexander House Care Home.


Giorgiana’s compassion and commitment to the care of our service users, enlightened the management about her hidden abilities and potential to be an excellent care staff. Giorgiana started her career in care just 8 months after working as a housekeeper and left no stone unturned to prove that she could be a good carer. She committed herself to learning, sharing, and developing the skills laboriously. She was nominated on serval occasions as ‘The Champion of the Month’ by all staff, next of kin and the management.


Giorgiana flourished, progressed and equipped herself with all the knowledge and skills to be an exemplary team member in care. The management at Alexander House Care Home has no hesitation to say imperiously that if the care sector has a staff like Giorgiana, the services will never fall in the provision of care.


Nowadays, Giorgiana is working as a team leader and completed the course of leadership and management from South Thames College supported by SouthWest London NHS. Giorgiana is in the process of completing her NVQ 2 in Health and Social Care. Giorgiana’s short journey with long-standing barriers from Trainee housekeeper to team leader at Alexander House Care Home is compatible with any efforts made to achieve the goal in someone’s life.


It is a great honour that Giorgiana was selected as Best Carer in 2023 by the National Care Association. I am confident that her story and contributions to the field of care will resonate with the values and mission of all care workers.
