About Alexandra Care Home
Alexandra Care Home is a nursing home in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Having qualified nurses on duty means we can care for people whose health needs go beyond what a residential home can safely manage, and it usually means somebody can stay with us as their needs increase rather than facing another move. We care for older people who need nursing support, including many living with dementia and many with physical disabilities, and we support people living with sight or hearing loss and some younger adults. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing care for a limited period. We want to be straightforward with you. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather tell you that here than let you find it elsewhere. We know what the inspectors raised with us, we are working through it, and we are willing to discuss any part of it with families and professionals who ask. What we are aiming at has not changed: medication given correctly, good skin care, proper attention to nutrition and pain, safe moving and handling, and acting early when somebody's condition alters. Around that, a home where people keep their own rooms and their own things and see their families whenever they like. Please come and see us and ask us the difficult questions.
