Paying for a care home can be a difficult think to get your head around. There are many options and funding could also be available. If the local authority decide that you have eligible care needs they will carry out a financial assessment to work out how much you may have to pay towards the cost of care. This amount will depend on your income, savings and assets. If you have to contribute towards the cost of long term care there are many ways to pay for it and its important to look at all options to see whether it’s right for you.
When you apply to The Alexandra Nursing Home we will carry out an assessment of your care new to ensure our home can meet your needs and the type of care you will require. Our exact fees vary depending on the size of the room, whether the room has en-suite facilities and depending on any additional care or equipment needed. Also your needs may change when you are supported by us, and as our homes charge different rates for residential and nursing the fees may change.

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.898) out of 10 for The Alexandra Nursing 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.684 for The Alexandra Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.684
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 4.214 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Alexandra Nursing Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5
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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0.714
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.
