My mum has recently moved to Alexandra Mill Care Home as she has dementia. She is doing extremely well and the care, interaction and stimulation she has already received has transformed her! Yes, she still has medical needs, but part of the old mum is back. We are so delighted and the relief we feel
as a family is beyond words. The staff are exceptional, special mention to the staff, their professionalism and kindness has been amazing. There are so many members of staff we would like to thank including kitchen, restaurant, nursing team, care team and the Home Manager also. All have been amazing and approachable.
Mum went in withdrawn, hard of hearing along with a host of other issues, this is no longer the case! Her hearing has actually improved. This is largely due to stimulation and interaction. She looks so much better also. Well done to the whole team, thank you so much.

My mum was moved from a care home owing to her needs requiring nursing care. I can not put into words how my mum has changed in herself with the wonderful care she is now receiving at Alexandra Mill Care Home. She is 98 years old and to see the improvement with the pain she was suffering is truly amazing.
In her own words, she told me "They are making my legs better". Keep up the good work to all the staff at Alexandra Mill.

My mum moved in here at the beginning of September as she was diagnosed with dementia after a heart attack in July. It has been a lovely start to her time in a care home.
Everything from the beginning has been wonderful, the introduction, the help, the advice, all the staff, the lovely building and
all the support given to me.
Mum has been looked after very well and nothing is too much trouble. There is always something going on, which for residents who require stimulation this is excellent and one of the reasons I chose this home.
It offers so much more than other care homes and personally I find the whole place like a hotel.
Compared to the cost of other homes this is excellent value for money.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone needing these services.

I was really impressed, very modern facilities, very accessible for anyone. The staff were amazing and absolutely lovely really talkative and got on with everyone. They really look after the people in the home with amazing care. They put on a lovely event for a birthday. The food provided was amazing,
felt like you were at a really posh restaurant. Nothing to fault I really enjoyed my day and experience visiting. The atmosphere was lovely. Would really recommend it to anyone looking for a care home.

My dad went to Alexandra Mill for palliative care following time in hospital and a bad experience in a previous care home.
He sadly passed away on Tuesday. The standard of nursing care at Alexandra Mill is excellent. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their kindness not only to my dad but also
to us as a family. It is a great comfort to know that he was cared for with such dignity at the end.
It makes such a difference to know that Dad's final days were comfortable and without distress and words do not cover how grateful we are to all the staff there, with special thanks to the manager.

Wonderful care for my father on palliative care, the staff are caring, considerate.
Would highly recommend if you are looking for care for a family member. It feels like a home from home. We moved Dad here from a different home and this place is head and shoulders above that.

My dad has been a resident for just over two weeks and the difference in him is unbelievable. He is so much happier, looks healthier and tells me every time I go that he is the happiest man around. He loves the food and that the fact he can choose his meals. His personal care is great, he is having
his teeth brushed every day (he didn’t at his old place) and has had showers and even a bath (again, none of this at his old care home). He’s been out of his bed in a chair and been taken into the garden and day room (his old care home got him out once in ten months) just such a lovely, caring home and the staff seem truly happy in their role which then reflects in the care given to residents and the time spent with them. Thank you so much, it helps us, as a family, knowing he’s well cared for and happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Alexandra Mill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 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 4.907 for Alexandra Mill is calculated as follows: ( (325 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 354 Ratings = 4.907

  • 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 Mill 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, 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.
