As a family we are very impressed with the quality of staff at Alexandra Court. They are extremely professional and caring. They treat Mum with the utmost respect, going above and beyond to make sure that she is as happy and comfortable as possible. They are all extremely welcoming to family and communicate

Generally speaking, my Mum is happy here. She has a light and airy suite, the staff are friendly, kind and helpful, meals are OK and there are activities organised. Of the facilities in the local area, this came top of our list when we were looking for care for my Mum. The only issues that have arisen
are when room or building maintenance is required. This is managed by the head office in Leeds and is generally poorly organised.

Reply from Carys Miller, Digital Marketing Apprentice at Alexandra Court

Thank you for this positive review and your help in discussing your concern about the maintenance issue, which has now been resolved.

My dad moved to Alexandra Court in October after a tough 12 months in his own home. It was a massive decision for him, as it is for any person who admits that they finally need care. He was welcomed with open arms by an amazing team of staff. He has been poorly since he took up residence, but our family
have been so thankful for the staff who have looked after him with patience, kindness and such good humour. He thinks the world of each and every one of them. It is such a relief to know that he is safe. He is still getting used to the idea that there are people there to help him whenever he needs it and that he will have hot meals provided everyday. I would also like to extend our thanks to the staff for taking care of us as well. The manager and the team have realised how worrying it has been and have looked after us with compassion and understanding. The staff team make sure that we are fed and watered when we have stayed with Dad, during times when he has been poorly. Thank you.

My father-in-law sadly suffers with Parkinson's disease and has been in several care homes over the past few years. Some of these care homes, unfortunately, fell short in standards of care and left him feeling hopeless and without dignity. I can honestly say that the Alexandra Court care home have turned
this around. The level of care he receives is nothing short of outstanding. I haven't only witnessed this with my father-in-law, but other residents also. The home is spotless and is very well maintained. The food looks as though it comes from a 5* restaurant. Every single member of staff we have come into contact with has been friendly, professional and caring; I'd describe them as angels on earth. They have given my father-in-law his dignity back and have also provided reassurance to myself and my wife. I can not thank the staff enough. In my opinion, Alexandra Court has to be one of, if not the best care homes in the UK. I have not one negative word to say about Alexandra Court.

My parents were truly happy in the last few months of their lives because of the care and love they received from all the staff at Alexandra Court care home. My father was 92 and my mother 90 when we finally persuaded them to move into a care home. Each resident had a large bedroom, en suite wet room
toilet, a large furnished lounge and a small kitchen. It meant our mum and dad could join in with the other residents in the communal lounge and dining rooms but they could also close the door of their flat and have private time together in their own flat. Everything we were told about the home was 100% true. The staff are fantastic, each and every one, they cared completely, they helped make sure my mum and dad had everything they needed but also, they had friends in the staff, people that my mum and dad looked forward to seeing every day. They have a gift in the way they cared.

From enquiring about respite for my mum after an operation, nothing has been too much trouble and the staff are very welcoming and helpful. After only being in for respite for a few days, Mum decided that she liked it that much that she wanted to stay permanently. She liked the fact that she could have
meals either in her flat or in the dining room and that there were choices for each meal and if there was nothing she liked, the staff would make something her liking instead. She also liked the fact that there was always somebody around in the background and the staff popped in to regularly check on her. The manager has been so kind and approachable regarding any concerns we've had. The activities are really good for mingling and engaging with other residents, especially the Queen's platinum jubilee celebrations. A credit to all the staff. There is a lovely homely feel and the flats are nicely decorated with provisions for personal effects and furnishings.

My 93-year-old mother has been having respite care in Alexandra Court for five weeks now and will be staying on a permanent basis. This is because we are so pleased with the care that she is receiving, the attention to detail from cleanliness to dealing with her medical needs is impressive. She regularly
comments on this herself. She looks forward to her meals in the lovely dining room. Most important of all, all of the staff have been wonderful to her. Kind and welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. This has really helped her settle in and relieved a lot of the anxieties that she had on leaving her home.

Alexandra Court is a lovely home with excellent and caring staff. They have looked after our Mother since she arrived in August of 2021and many of the staff have formed a strong and good-humoured relationship with her. They were also extremely helpful for the short period of our Father's stay at the
home and very empathetic with our Mother and family members on his death, they could not have done more. The home is kept well and in good condition and the apartment is spacious and well maintained. Visitors to our Mother have always been made welcome. Any business is only as good as the team working there and the team are outstanding. We are very pleased with Alexandra Court as a home for our Mother.

My mother needed unexpected care and Alexandra Court gave her a warm welcome and tried hard to settle her in. She was treated well and thought the staff were helpful and friendly. She enjoyed the food and was taken to some of the in-house entertainment.

My uncle spent six months here after a stay in hospital. He was still unwell when he arrived and extremely weak so he needed a lot of care. The care he received was exceptional both from a medical and personal point of view. The care staff were consistently the same people which meant he and I got to
know them and nothing was too much trouble for them when caring for him or answering all my questions. I didn’t get to see his apartment due to Covid restrictions but in his words, it was a home from home. He has now been able to return to his own home and Alexander Court played a big part in making him strong and healthy enough for this to happen. All the family are very grateful to them.

My brother was in Alexandra Court for what turned out to be his final days. During his short stay the extremely kind, caring, and attentive staff made his stay as comfortable as humanly possible. Their consideration of both his needs and the family to be with him was a great solace. I cannot thank the
whole team from management, cooks to carers for their efforts.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.526)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.526) out of 10 for Alexandra Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 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.

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 4.626 for Alexandra Court is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.626

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexandra 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 9 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.
