About Alexandra House
Alexandra House is a nursing home in Nottingham. We provide nursing and personal care for older people and for younger adults, including people living with dementia, people with a mental health condition, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays for those who need care for a short period. Having nurses on duty at all hours means that when someone's health changes we can respond here, rather than the person having to move on just as they have settled. Medicines, mobility, nutrition, skin care and pain are reviewed as often as they need to be, and we bring in the wider health team when something is beyond us. We try not to let the clinical side crowd out everything else. Each person's plan records how they like their day to run, what they can still manage themselves and what they want us to leave alone, and we support people to keep doing what they can rather than taking it over for speed. Where someone has a sensory impairment, how we approach and speak with them is part of the plan too, because getting that wrong turns ordinary care into something startling. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families are welcome, and we would much rather hear a concern early. If you would like to visit Alexandra House or talk through whether we could meet someone's needs, please contact us.

More about the care at Alexandra House
Respite Care at Alexandra House
Respite stays give a family carer a planned break or cover a period of recovery after hospital, and Alexandra House is registered to offer them alongside its permanent nursing care. Ring well ahead as rooms move quickly around school holidays and Christmas, and ask about the minimum length of stay, what medication and clothing to send in labelled, and the daily rate. A respite booking can also work as a low pressure trial before any decision about a longer term move.
Nursing Care at Alexandra House
Nursing care means a registered nurse is on site at all hours, which matters for people with conditions such as advanced frailty, Parkinson's, stroke recovery, catheter or stoma needs, pressure care or end of life needs that go beyond what personal care alone can cover. Alexandra House is registered for nursing care, so residents whose health shifts can often be looked after in place rather than moved on. Where a resident qualifies, NHS Funded Nursing Care contributes around £235 a week directly to the home towards the nursing element, reducing what the family or resident pays. Typical East Midlands nursing fees run from about £1050 to £1350 a week, with Nottinghamshire usually funding £820 to £1000 for those it supports. Ask how FNC assessments are arranged and how the nursing contribution is shown on the invoice.
Dementia Care at Alexandra House
Thoughtful dementia care usually rests on familiar daily rhythms, staff trained to read behaviour as communication, and a layout that feels calm, secure and easy to find your way around, with clear sightlines to bathrooms and quiet spaces to retreat to. Alexandra House in Nottingham is registered to support people living with dementia alongside nursing needs. Families looking round should ask how the home settles someone who is distressed or anxious in the evening, how they respond when a resident walks with purpose or tries to leave, and how they keep families informed as the dementia progresses and needs change. It is also worth asking how life story information is gathered and used, and how medication for agitation is reviewed rather than left running indefinitely.
Older Person Care at Alexandra House
Everyday support for older people in a nursing home usually covers help with washing and dressing at a pace that suits the person, prompting or administering medication, meals and hydration, and simple companionship through the day. Alexandra House is registered to provide nursing and personal care for older people, and its CQC overall rating was good at the December 2025 inspection. Weekly fees across the East Midlands tend to sit between £1050 and £1350, while Nottinghamshire County Council usually pays somewhere in the £820 to £1000 range. Families should ask how morning and evening routines are agreed with each resident, how many staff and nurses are on duty overnight, how call bells are answered after dark, and how often the care plan is reviewed once someone has settled in.
Mental Health at Alexandra House
Living with an enduring mental health condition in later life often depends on steady routine, predictable staff and being treated as an adult rather than a diagnosis. Alexandra House is registered to support people with mental health conditions alongside nursing needs. Ask what experience the team has with conditions similar to your relative's, how they work with community mental health teams or the GP when someone becomes unwell, and how medication and mood are monitored day to day.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Alexandra House
Sensory impairments call for practical touches such as good even lighting, matt finishes that reduce glare, larger clearer signage, hearing loops in shared rooms, and staff who announce themselves before touching or speaking close by. Alexandra House is registered to support people with visual or hearing impairment. Ask how these preferences are recorded in the care plan, how hearing aid batteries and glasses are looked after daily, and how new agency staff are briefed on approach.
Younger Adults at Alexandra House
An adult in their forties, fifties or early sixties in a nursing home has different reference points from someone in their nineties, and lifestyle matters as much as clinical care. Alexandra House is registered to support younger adults alongside older residents. Families should ask about typical age range currently living there, access to own music, technology and visitors at flexible times, and whether outings and interests can be shaped around the individual rather than the group.
Physical Disability at Alexandra House
Nursing homes supporting adults with physical disabilities generally combine accessible bathrooms, hoists and profiling beds with personal care that is unhurried and led by the person. Alexandra House is registered to support people with physical disabilities. It is worth asking about doorway and lift access, ceiling or mobile hoisting, wheelchair charging, and whether there are quiet routes around the building. Also check how the home supports someone to keep doing what they can rather than having tasks done for them.
