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 in their hearts too.

Since the new manager arrived, Alexandra View has had a new lease of life. Staff appear to be much happier which is most important. She has brightened the place up and is always available to residents and their families and most importantly, the staff. The care is very good, all members of staff - carers, cleaners, laundry, admin and entertainment - all work together.

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.
E C, Resident’s Daughter
After a trying few first months of residency, the home was under new management. I have noticed a huge improvement in the care provided. Any concerns have now been dealt with in a professional and timely manner.
The Manager/Area Manager has kept us informed of updates on concerns.
Meals are more substantial and nutritious.
The staff are alert when problems occur with my dad. Since a change of manager my dad seems a lot happier and is gaining weight and I have noticed he enjoys his meals more too.

On visiting my mother at Alexandra View Care Centre, the staff are very friendly and approachable when you have any questions. The care my mother is given is very good and I can relax knowing that she is well cared for. My mother spends time in her room but there are always activities to entertain her is she desires.
My mother is very happy at Alexandra View and is well cared for and that is the most important thing to me.
