It was quite busy and some of the residents were painting. Staff are friendly and cheerful and offered me a cup of tea. The lounge area was clean and felt homely. My friend seemed to be content and in a much better spirit than when I last saw her. I can see that she is well cared for.

Staff are friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. My sister was being looked after very well and she seemed happy to be looked after by all of the staff. The room was very nice and it was good to see that there were family pictures and her own ornaments. My sister said the food was very
nice and she had plenty to eat and drink. It is a relief to see her settled and content.

My mother is a resident here and she is being very well looked after. The staff are very efficient and friendly. Mum has made some good relationships with the staff. The staff also make me feel welcome when I'm visiting too, taking extra care to help me as I'm disabled myself. An excellent service all
round. Thank you to all of you for taking care of my mum. I'm involved in all decisions.

My mum has been here since 2014 and her health has improved and she has gained weight.
The home needs decorating.

The staff at the care home are excellent and really care about the residents and their families.
I feel like we are part of a big family.
If there is an issue we are able to raise it and between us and the home, we find an appropriate solution.

My father has been in the care of Alexandra for a few months. I have always found the staff very caring to the residents. If there is a health concern a GP is contacted straight away and family is informed. The care home is very clean. It is a dementia home which cares.
The meals and snacks are excellent.
Everyone is monitored regarding weight loss. Staff take time at meal times with the residents. All the departments at the home are good. At present I have no concerns. There are two nurses on each floor every day and one at night. The staffing levels have been good so far.

My cousin came here as an 'end of life' patient from hospital last Christmas.
Through the excellent care and personal support from the team of carers at Alexandra, she is now active and content. I couldn't ask for more.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.703)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.703) out of 10 for Alexandra Care Home 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 18 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 4.703 for Alexandra Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (154 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.703

  • 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 Alexandra Care Home is based on 18 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 18 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.
