It was a difficult decision to place my dad into care. After viewing several homes we decided on Alexandra View. We soon realised we had made the right decision, the care and support from the staff was second to none. My dad was very happy and settled in very well. He loved the staff and he held a special
place ion their hearts too.

My mother has been a resident at Alexandra View Care Centre for three years over this time she has been treated with dignity and her needs are met and care given to a high standard with respect.
During periods of illness changes have been recognised quickly, assessment and treatment timely. Staff are
very approachable and deal quickly with our concerns, also establish contact quickly in times of conditional change.
Staff are all visible, friendly and keen to assist. Residents are a priority however their care attends to the family even to contact me when my dad didn't visit at his usual time checking he was well! Above and beyond care.

My auntie is well looked after by the staff and is given plenty of support at all times.
Activities are excellent and they involve my auntie at all times.
The manager is very nice and helpful and interacts with residents and family.
I feel there could be room for improvement with the laundry as cloths
go missing and never seem to be replaced.

Since February I have found a big difference in how the place is run.
The meals are more filling and nutritious and the care is a lot better since the new manager took over.

Very happy with the care that my grandmother is receiving. When entering the home there is a cheerful and friendly atmosphere. The home is clean and smells fresh. The staff are all very helpful with any questions I have regarding my nana.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Alexandra View 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.699 for Alexandra View Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.699

  • 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 View Care Centre is based on 30 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
