About Alexandra House
At Alexandra House in Harlow, Essex, we provide nursing home care for people with a wide range of needs, and we take genuine pride in the community we have built here. We support older people, those living with dementia, individuals with physical disabilities, and people with visual or hearing impairments. We also welcome younger adults and offer respite care for those who need a shorter stay, whether that is to give a family carer a rest or to support recovery after a hospital admission. Because nursing care sits at the heart of what we do, our team includes qualified nurses alongside care staff, all working together to make sure each person receives the right level of support at the right time. We take the time to get to know the people in our care properly, understanding not just their clinical needs but their preferences, routines, and the things that matter most to them in daily life. Living with dementia can be particularly challenging, both for the individual and for their family. We work hard to create an environment that feels calm and familiar, where people can move through their days with as much confidence and comfort as possible. For family members, we hope to be a reassuring presence too, somewhere they feel welcome and kept well informed. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission resulted in an overall rating of Good, which reflects the effort and commitment of everyone who works here. We do not take that lightly, and we continue to look at how we can improve. If you are considering care for yourself or a loved one, we would encourage you to come and visit us. A conversation in person is often the best way to get a real sense of whether Alexandra House feels like the right fit.
