Residential Care in Pinhoe

At Alexander House, residential care is about so much more than everyday support, it’s about enriching the lives of our residents in every way possible. We offer a warm and welcoming home where individuals can enjoy comfort, independence and community, all while receiving the level of assistance that suits their personal needs.

Our approach focuses on the whole person, supporting not only physical health but also mental wellbeing and social connection. Whether someone needs minimal help or more regular day-to-day support, we tailor our care to respect their independence and lifestyle preferences.

Central to this care is our experienced and friendly team, who form the heart of life at Alexander House. Their compassion, attentiveness and genuine relationships with residents create a sense of trust and belonging that helps everyone feel right at home.

Engaging Lifestyles & Personalised Activities

Life at Alexander House is vibrant, varied, and thoughtfully tailored to meet the individual interests of our residents. Our dedicated Activities Coordinator curates a weekly programme filled with enriching experiences — from arts and crafts, music sessions, and exercise classes, to themed events, baking, and local outings.

We understand the importance of purpose and pleasure in everyday life, especially for those adjusting to new routines. That’s why our activities are not only fun but also help maintain cognitive health, physical mobility, and emotional wellbeing.

Whether it’s enjoying afternoon tea with friends, gardening in the fresh air, or a relaxing pamper session in our in-house salon, our residents are empowered to lead joyful, engaged lives on their own terms.
