Alexander House Care Home

Alexander House is a cosy, welcoming care home in the heart of Crossgates, thoughtfully designed to help residents feel at ease and well cared for. With every detail tailored to residents’ needs, the home is bright, cheerful, and uplifting, offering compassionate nursing and end-of-life care provided by a caring team who truly get to know each resident.

The home enjoys a central location with regular bus services close by. Nearby Dunfermline offers parks and a retail shopping park just five minutes away, providing plenty of opportunities for leisure and social activities.

Comfortable Living with Thoughtful Touches

Alexander House spans three floors, with lifts ensuring easy access for all. Private rooms, including options for couples, let loved ones stay together while enjoying their own space. Outside, the lovingly tended gardens offer peaceful spots to relax and unwind. Residents can also enjoy growing fruit and vegetables - an activity that adds a personal touch to meals and creates a sense of pride and joy in the home’s warm, inviting atmosphere.

Activities and Dining

At Alexander House, care is about more than meeting medical needs. The team specialises in dementia care, creating a supportive environment where every resident is celebrated as an individual. Activities are tailored to residents’ interests, whether it’s quiet one-to-one time, fun trips to garden centres or the zoo, or group entertainment sessions that bring everyone together.

There’s a strong sense of community here, with visits from local nurseries, schools, and youth groups fostering wonderful intergenerational connections. Residents can also enjoy visits to the onsite hairdresser, ensuring every day feels special.

Freshly prepared meals are served daily, with residents free to choose between dining in one of the three welcoming dining rooms or enjoying meals in the comfort of their own rooms.

What Families Say

I cannot fault the care and support of the staff. They treat my mum with dignity and try to include her in activities, even though she’s often bedbound. The food is wonderful, and the kitchen staff go out of their way to keep her happy.

Daughter of a resident

The staff have been amazing. My uncle has improved so much and loves the company. He’s thriving now in ways I never expected.
