Overall Experience

Alexander has provided care to my parents, both of whom have dementia, for the last couple of years. We had some brilliant carers that my mum and dad loved and who were experienced in dealing with dementia. Alexander were really helpful in a crisis, providing extra care at very short notice and being available to talk to about needs even at the weekend. I don't know what we would have done without them then.

Reply from Hannah James, Registered Manager at Alexandra's Community Care - Penzance

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words. We're honoured to have supported your parents and to know our team made a real difference, especially during the more challenging times. We'll make sure your kind message is passed on to everyone involved.

This service gets Mum set up for the day and is very much appreciated by both Mum and myself as it takes a lot of pressure away from myself in the morning and I can do other things while the carer is sorting Mum

Overall Experience
Overall , in my opinion , the care that my mum receives is good . The carers on the whole seem caring and compassionate towards my mum .
However , there is a definite lack of and inconsistency , with regard to my mum's PH care . I often note that my mum can go for days ( sometimes a week ) without a teeth clean , hand and face wash and pyjama change .
* I bath my mum weekly and assist in full PH and a bedding change etc .
I know it is difficult , as you cannot and should not force someone to do something but I feel that , there is at times , a lack of training and understanding and initiative within carers , to navigate situations regarding PH , to a positive outcome .

Other than this , the office staff are always willing to listen and to take things on board , when i call on behalf of my mum , and I am grateful that because of Alexandra's , my mum can remain in her own home .

Reply from Charlotte Bailey, Deputy Manager at Alexandra's Community Care - Penzance

Review from Helen U (Daughter of Client) published on 13 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Every one of the lovely carers from Alexandra Care was fabulous. They were happy to work with me, my sisters, or our Dad to help us keep Mum at home for her final few months, as she so desperately wanted. For this, we shall always be so grateful.
All the carers were so friendly, kind, gentle, and willing to help; they were sensitive to Mum's increasing frailty in her final weeks/days and helped us keep her well cared for and safe. It was in her final days that their guidance, experience, and expertise came into play and it was amazing working with such competent ladies.
Even in those final, difficult days, the carers brought a little smile to Mum's face with their cheery care, compassion, and kindness. Dad and I were so glad to see you each day too.
Additionally, we were so grateful for how swiftly Alexandra Care responded when it became clear Mum needed double-handed care visits in her latter days.

Thank you all for making the last few months possible, you are all angels on earth.

Overall Experience

As a new client my wife has been very satisfied with the standard of care she is receiving. She finds the carers very sympathetic and helpful. They help her out of bed, move to the bathroom and give her a wash, shower or hair wash as she requests and then help her get dressed and move downstairs. She finds them gentle and likes their friendly and helpful approach.

Reply from Hannah James, Registered Manager at Alexandra's Community Care - Penzance

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! We're delighted to hear that your wife is satisfied with the care she's receiving as a new client. Providing compassionate and supportive care is at the heart of what we do, and it's wonderful to know that our carers are meeting her needs with empathy and professionalism.

I am just writing to say a massive thanks to all at Westcountry and Alexandra's, my mother is now going into full-time care and they have been with us and supporting us for around 18 months. Through some very hard and challenging times, they have always been there with smiles and warmth doing the hardest of jobs. The Penzance team have been our rock and are a part of the family. Special thanks to several amazing members of staff in particular. The manager has managed a fantastic team and needs maximum credit! Their commitment has been quite humbling. For those who need help in this difficult stage of life, I cannot recommend enough, many thanks.

Overall Experience

Our experience with Alexandra's has been excellent. My mother was discharged from hospital after a fall and is in the final stages of her life. She chose to come home with my 100-year-old father. The handover to Alexandra's was smooth and she has been very well looked after for the past month. The family has worked with the lovely care workers to smooth out issues and establish a safe and comfortable routine. The supervisors have overseen this in a gentle and hands-on way. All have done more than needed and within the care plan ensured that my mother is comfortable and her domestic needs are in place. Carers are reassuring with my dad and we have created a good environment within the house. Many thanks to all involved in the care of my mother.
