About Alexandra House
Here at Alexandra House in Gloucester, Gloucestershire, we provide residential care for a wide range of people, and we take real pride in making sure everyone who comes through our doors feels genuinely at home. We support older people, adults living with dementia, those with learning disabilities or autism, people experiencing mental health difficulties, and individuals with physical disabilities. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether to recover, take stock, or simply give family carers a well earned break. Because our residents and the people we support come from such varied backgrounds and have such different needs, we work hard to understand each person as an individual rather than applying a one size fits all approach. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which we are genuinely pleased about, though we see it as a reflection of the work we do every day rather than a destination. We are always looking at how we can do things better, listening to residents, their families, and our staff to make sure the care and support we provide keeps improving. Life at Alexandra House is built around the people who live here. We encourage residents to stay connected to the things that matter to them, whether that is maintaining relationships with family and friends, taking part in activities they enjoy, or simply having the space and support to live as independently as possible. Mealtimes, daily routines, and social opportunities are all shaped with residents in mind. If you are considering Alexandra House for yourself or someone you care about, we would warmly encourage you to come and visit us. It is always easier to get a real sense of a place in person, and we are happy to answer any questions you may have.
