Alexander House Rest Home
Alexander House is a refurbished villa that started as an 8-bed Rest Home in the 1980s. There have been several extensions since and now is a reputable 20-bed residence. We offer a small, warm, friendly home with an old age ambience, where the residents are the focus, we aim to make their day every day. The hub of our Rest Home is the kitchen where our home-cooked meals and baking adds to the feel of a home away from home.
Our Rest Home is managed by an RN and is either onsite or on call 24/7 and offers the care and attention to detail that counts. Our caregivers are fully trained in the care of the elderly offering respect, support, and friendship. Outside interests are encouraged with our Rest Home organizing and transporting residents to various community events, Our Activities Officer coordinates activities in-house on a regular basis including exercises and crafts and entertainment.
