Alex Wood House Care Home

This is a lovely and vibrant care home. I teach a pottery class here and always enjoy seeing the residents as we have such a good laugh as we work. It is obvious to me how much the staff care.

We have had the pleasure of entertaining at Alex Wood House on numerous occasions but most recently for their VE Day event to celebrate the 80th anniversary. We are always made to feel very welcome by everyone; staff, residents and visitors. Interactions between staff and residents are always wonderful to see, and there is a definite feel of family throughout the home.

I have had a wonderful morning with the fantastic residents at Alex Wood House. We all enjoyed a silk painting session carefully adding the silk paint to the pictures to look like stained glass windows. The results were unique and beautiful and the residents were very pleased with their finished work. Nikki was very welcoming and had all the tables set up ready for me on arrival. All the care assistants were attentive, patient and supportive with the residents, helping them all to succeed with the activity. Many thanks for your warm welcome.

This is such a warm, friendly and caring place. Everyone I've met here has been lovely, and it's changed my whole outlook on care homes. We've used the training room at Alex Wood House on many occasions, which they offer to the community for free! And they look after us so well when we come here. Ten out of ten recommend.

I had the pleasure of visiting Alex Wood House for a therapeutic animal handling session - what a lovely care home! The staff were wonderful with the residents and incredibly accommodating. The residents looked very happy and enjoyed interacting with the animals (who loved it too - some even fell asleep in their laps!). It was a fantastic experience for everyone!
