My mother spent 14 days here recently. Mum is almost 95 years old. The respite was really for me, however she came out so much more sprightly than when she went in. She had clearly developed a rapport with all of the staff and it was obvious that this was mutual. I can only praise all of the staff there
and thank them for such wonderful work. Skills with elderly people are not always easy but anyone who is good at their job makes it look easy and that was the vision I saw on the day that I came to pick Mum up to take her home. 10/ 10 for all the staff at Alexander Court and a big thank you to all of you.

Reply from Abi SANUSI, Manager at Alexander Court Care Centre

It was a great pleasure to have her with us on respite. She made it very easy to look after her as she would have a laugh with everyone after throwing banter at the staff. We look forward to having her again.

Our friend spent more than 2 years in Alexander Court Care Home, entering during Covid times was difficult for all concerned but gradually the decor, activities and facilities have improved. A constant during the whole time though has been the high standard of care. None more so than during the final
days and hours, the sensitivity, respect and dignity extended was exemplary, for which we are grateful and very thankful. Residents can enjoy a varied activity programme, the photos of them participating is helpful for family and friends and prompts conversation topics. The regular management consultations with residents' relatives to discuss any concerns are very helpful.

Thank you for the feedback, we aim to continue to improve in overall services rendered to our service users. It was a pleasure to be given the opportunity to look after your loved one.

What can one say, the staff and management of Alexander Court Care Centre were fantastic, although my cousin was there only a week. Myself and husband were treated like family. Kind and helpful at all times bluebell unit is where my dear cousin was and he was treated with respect at all times. Kept
clean and any wishes he had upheld, the day before he passed he said he was comfy and how quiet the unit was.

Our family cannot thank the staff enough for the care they gave Dad. We were all apprehensive about our dad going into a care home for respite but he went in a poorly man and came out to being our dad again and that is all because of the care he was given. From the management to the cleaning staff,
you are all brilliant.

The staff at the Alexander Court Care Centre were brilliant looking after my mother in her last few months. The management and staff running the home have a very professional and caring attitude. My mother passed away in a comfortable and peaceful environment.

I would recommend Alexander Court to friends and family as it was recommended to me. Any problems with my husband's care were discussed by myself and the staff and the answer, I am pleased to say, was found. The friendly and welcoming staff are to be praised for their ongoing care for all their patients.

Well, I recently left this place after an almost 2-month respite and at first, I hated it, because I wasn't used to the change, but the first night I asked one of the nurses if they could help me get back to the hospital I came from, and she managed to calm me down and I spent my first night there.
For
me with anxiety and depression it was hard, but the fact that it was so quiet and homely, helped a lot. If you come here and are under their care, then you are in great hands as I met both managers from the get-go, and they both were super nice and supportive of my needs.
If you find yourself under the care of some of the staff from Bluebell Unit, then you're in luck! I absolutely loved my stay there and lord knows I wasn't an easy person for them! But they helped me either way and the cleaners to the kitchen staff were all so great. The night staff as well, equally as lovely; several in particular and whoever else took great care of me during the night; I thank you.

My father was a resident at Alexandra Court Care Centre. My family visited him and every time he was in clean clothes. His room was hazard-free. The room was well ventilated. Alexandra Court Care Centre staff are friendly, always attentive, and reported back to the family about his needs and feeding
progress. They communicated directly with him even when I visited and it was pleasing to see how much confidence he held on to the staff and carers at Alexandra Court Care Centre. From managing his medication up to facilitating his hospital appointments Alexandra Court Care Centre staff were brilliant. I was really touched by the way they go the extra mile in their service.

The staff were pleasant and cared for my mum. The restrictions and red tape regarding visiting were initially onerous for a resident in respite care but this was overcome and mum appeared in good spirits. Mum's care in respite allowed me to respond to other family issues that came up and have a short
break myself.

I was dreading visiting my grandmother since her fall. The level of cleanliness, facilities, comfort for the residents, and attention to detail from the staff was amazing. Thank you! She’s so happy and has really put my mind at rest.

My husband was a resident at Alexander Court for 18 months until he sadly passed away in August 2020. I am very thankful to all the staff for how my husband was cared for and how he was very well looked after. I found the staff to be very approachable and I could always speak to them about any concerns
and they would always make me feel welcome. I wish the home and staff the very best for the future.

I have been bowled over by the staff's handling of the pandemic. I have had regular face-time contact with my mum and now I am even visiting once a fortnight in their safely managed secure garden. Everyone has been caring and understanding. Well Done.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.505)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.505) out of 10 for Alexander Court Care Centre 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.651 for Alexander Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.651

  • 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 4.854 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexander Court Care Centre is based on 14 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 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.4 = 0.854

  • 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.
