Very professional and polite members of staff who are very supportive of not just my mum but myself as well.
Mum looks very well and smart in appearance every time I have visited.
The home is very clean and tidy. I can't thank all the staff enough for giving me peace of mind knowing Mum is very well
cared for and safe.

My mother was admitted to this care home recently and she is delighted with her choice. This is a gem of a care home. All the staff are dedicated, loving and caring. There is a culture within this care home of love, helpfulness, respect and a desire and commitment to ensure every resident's wellbeing
and happiness is a priority. The catering is excellent and the activities provided are amazing and tailored to individual abilities.
This care home comes highly recommended and needs to be Number 1 on the wish list of any potential resident.

I cannot thank all the staff enough for the care they gave my mum. You could see that they all genuinely loved her and I could see a massive difference in her as soon as she moved in. Mum became very challenging in the end, however, they all still treated her with the love, care and dignity she deserved.
I cannot fault them at all.

The level of care from the nurses, carers and staff is excellent and Mum as settled in well.
Facilities ie decoration etc could do with some improvements but this is more than made for with the care she receives from the staff.

Mum's care was excellent. The staff are all fantastic and do a very difficult job. Activities provided for residents are great, with staff encouraging people to take part. The building just needs a bit of investment to bring it up to standard, but this is only a small concern.

We will always be grateful to the carers, cook, kitchen, domestic and maintenance staff, nurses, reception, and management for the care and attention they gave to our loved one. They put a smile on his face every day with their banter and the time they spent with him. Not forgetting the support given
to us as a family in very sad and worrying times. Also, the quality of the entertainment for the residents is amazing. Thank you to each and every one of you, we will never forget you.

Reply from Susan Wilson, Manager at Alexandra House Nursing Home

My mum has been a resident here for 4 years and has made it so far through the pandemic. She has now turned 101 and a lot of this is down to the staff and carers and all their hard work through difficult times. It is not an easy profession and not particularly well paid so I commend all their hard work.
Many thanks.

Reply from Adele Cooper, Deputy Manager at Alexandra House Nursing Home

We thank you for your kind words and we are proud of our staff for all their hard work, especially in recent difficult times. It is lovely to be acknowledged and very good to know you are happy with your mum's care.

Since mid-September 2020, after my father was admitted to Alexandra House on a short term basis pending a review required of his care needs, he was finally granted long term residency in December 20. From day one of him living there, the care and attention that he has been given and received, has made
a massive difference not only to himself but the family as well. We know that he is being very well cared for, and any concerns, you are made aware of straight away. He is settling in great and enjoys the interaction with the staff, and we all understand, that had he not been living at Alexandra House, things would be very different for him, and us as a family also. The comfort of knowing he is being looked after, by a very dedicated and hard-working team, gives as peace of mind. We are looking forward to better days when we will be able to visit him properly, but the 'pod visits' when they were allowed, were a great way to visit, under these very strange and difficult times.

Reply from Lorraine Abiss, Care Home & Operations Manager at Alexandra House Nursing Home

Thank you for completing the review, it means a lot to the staff during these very difficult time for us all. We are pleased to have made a positive difference to your father's life and for you and your family. We look forward to welcoming you into our friendly Alexandra House when we are able.

Mother seems to be happy at Alexandra House but she would, I feel, benefit from more stimulating activities. Because of the Covid lockdown, I was unable to fill in some of the boxes - not having access to indoors. Outside appearances give a good impression though.

Reply from Lorraine Abiss, Home & Operations Manager at Alexandra House Nursing Home

It is pleasing to know your mother is happy with us, it has been very difficult during the pandemic for all of us and for you not to be able to come into the home. Our Activities person has been working extra hard to keep our residents engaged with all the restrictions. Thank you for doing a review.

I have found the manager and all the staff polite and helpful from the day we went to view the home until now. My mother has been in 2 weeks now, she is treated with respect and dignity. We have noticed the staff work very hard, not just on care, but trying to occupy the residents with games.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.121)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.121) out of 10 for Alexandra House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.500 for Alexandra House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.5

  • 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 4.621 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alexandra House Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.921

  • 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.
