DESCRIPTION

Welcome to Alexandra Care Home, our modern purpose built Home in the heart of Hemel Hempstead where we provide a high standard of care 24 hours a day. Our Residents have varying needs from specialist Nursing support to general assistance with everyday living. All bedrooms are well decorated and offer en-suite facilities.

We offer Residential and Nursing care as well as specialist care for those with Dementia. We also offer Respite care to give home carers a much needed break.

There is so much more that we can tell you than we can include on these pages so please arrange to pop in for a chat.

Our Residents can pursue their hobbies in our communal and quiet lounges situated throughout the Home. We also have a large garden boasting lovely flower beds and a patio area where Residents enjoy the stunning views. These areas are used for relaxing, socialising and are great places to invite friends and families when they visit.

THE CARE

We pride ourselves on our range of activities to suit all tastes. Our Activities Co-ordinator meets every new Resident to discuss their social interests. There’s always something going on from quizzes to hand massages and music therapy to flower arranging. We also arrange wine and cheese parties, which prove popular with our Residents.

We invite professional entertainers to visit regularly and we are also treated to performances by the local school children and the wider community.

We support the UK National Dementia Strategy which ensures that key life skills are maintained, building purpose and providing nurture for Residents with Dementia. We organise group and individual activities but in our experience it is the one-to-one sessions that our Residents find most calming and rewarding.

Mealtimes are an enjoyable and sociable part of the day. Each one of our dining areas has tables laid with fresh flowers and linen and our menus are displayed to show the choices available. Snacks, fresh fruit and refreshments are provided 24 hours a day.

Residents can choose to have their meals in their own room or in our dining room depending on how they feel. We encourage friends and family to join us for meals or afternoon tea anytime.
