About
Alexander House Care Home in Cowdenbeath, Fife, has 40 registered beds and provides nursing care and dementia support. The Care Inspectorate, which regulates the home in Scotland, has graded its wellbeing support, care planning, setting, staff team and leadership as Good.
The home has recently opened its refurbished Morris Allan Suites, named after a former resident who worked as a professional photographer and documented life across Fife for decades. Photographic touches are woven into the décor, and a copy of his widely reproduced 1958 image of Sputnik passing over Dunfermline Abbey is to be displayed among the suites' artwork.
