"My Grandfather recently passed away after spending just under a year at Alexander Court. During his last few weeks, the staff could not have been more caring for not just my Grandad but for his family too. They treated him with such care and dignity and offered incredible support throughout his stay to us whenever we visited. I would like to pass on my sincere gratitude to the manager and all the team, each and every one of the team are a credit to Alexander Court, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart."

Nicola H (Daughter of Resident)

"I can not fault this home whatsoever, the staff are very friendly and polite. They are very attentive to their residents and the care I have personally witnessed is second to none. I would certainly highly recommend this care home to anyone who asked. Management and staff were always available to talk to and updated me with any information I needed, they also contacted me with any concerns they had or following a GP visit."
