Thank you for leaving us this lovely review. As you are aware, we have consulted with your mother about the menu and have taken her preferences into account when we changed to the winter menus and have added more traditional meals which she is enjoying. We will continue to consult your mother wherever possible to try to improve the service we provide to her and the other residents.

Thankyou for leaving this lovely review. The staff at Alexander Court work very hard to ensure both residents and visitors are made to feel at home from the moment they arrive, and we develop person-centred care plans so that we can provide the best possible care. It's so rewarding to hear that you have noticed such a positive change in Mum since she came to live here.

Thank you for leaving us this review. It's good to hear our care staff are doing such a great job. Alexander Court is a busy home at times with lots going on. Our staff are always busy going the extra mile for our residents but always have time to spend with the residents. We also have an activities coordinator who spends her time with all our residents individually as well as facilitating lots of group activities which most of our residents thoroughly enjoy. I'm sorry you feel that at times there is not enough staff on shift, and Mum is not having enough companionship, however, our staffing levels are calculated depending on the needs of our current residents to ensure that there are always enough staff to meet all our residents' needs. If you do have any further concerns about this, I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your mum's needs in more detail to try and resolve this, as we aim to respond to all comments and concerns effectively and promptly.

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.524) out of 10 for Alexander Court 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.667 for Alexander Court is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 105 Ratings = 4.667
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 4.857 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexander Court is based on 9 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 = 3.9
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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.957
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.

Job Title: Care Home Manager
We strive to provide care of the highest quality for the elderly on a permanent or respite basis, in lovely comfortable surroundings. Our team of experienced professionals constantly undergo training to provide outstanding care and support to all residents.
Our philosophy is simple; we want everyone to enjoy life to the fullest. We never forget that all our residents are individuals and we treat them with dignity, privacy and respect while offering freedom of choice and as much independence as possible.
Friends and family are welcome at any time. Hot drinks and snacks are always available and guests are invited to share a meal with residents. Our cook prepares three nutritious meals a day and the menu changes regularly to reflect seasonal produce. Special diets are catered for.
Residents have the freedom to choose what to do and when. There is plenty going and our activities coordinator puts together a full programme which is adapted to suit the needs and wishes of our residents. Activities include quizzes, sing-alongs, reminiscence therapy, indoor games, arts and crafts, baking and wherever possible, trips out and about.
I’d love to show you around the home. So if you should like a tour, or wish to discuss any aspect of elderly care with me, please telephone the home to make an appointment.
