We are so pleased that we chose Alpine Care Home for my mum. It really feels like a home from home. We had to choose a home for my mum, who has quite advanced Dementia and Alzheimer's, during Covid so we couldn't visit in person any home. All we could do was a video call viewing. We chose Alpine because
it's small (30ish residents) compared to other local homes in the area. All the staff at Alpine are fabulous, from the manager down. There are some excellent day staff who really do invest time and care with the residents. There is a quite fabulous activities co-ordinator, who has recently joined the team and she's making such a difference with keeping everyone engaged with activities. Cooking, craft, quizzes, themed events, visiting barbers, musicians, and ponies! And much more. Food is excellent, care is excellent, cleanliness is excellent. It really is a great care home. Any issues and I get a phone call explaining what's wrong and how they are putting it right. We trust Alpine.

Mum has been a resident for over a year now. I am so pleased with how she is looked after. All staff are so friendly and caring and are on the ball when there is a problem. There are plenty of activities for the residents and they are encouraged to join in which is great!
The worry is taken off our
shoulders as we know she is happy!

Our Mum has been in the home for just a few weeks now and after a difficult first couple of weeks. She really didn't want to be there, she has settled very nicely. This is due to the care, attention and perseverance shown by the staff who have really worked hard with her and even got her join in with
activities and be part of the Alpine community, something we never thought we'd see. Thanks very much.

I can only say my experience of this home who have looked after my father till he passed away and currently looking after my mother can only be positive.
A very happy good feel care home run by very caring staff right across the board.
Have always made sure that my parent's needs have been met and
also both my brother and myself have seen on many occasions how all members of staff have made sure that they have never been left alone or unattended.
When my parents were more mobile it was nice to see that they would be taken out on occasions to shops and I know a regular trip to the garden centre always went down well.
Both my brother and myself have never felt there has been any cause for concern.
Also we are always contacted with any issues that do arise and we are always kept updated.
Overall my impression is that this care home is a very caring run home and a happy place to be.

Alpine cared for my mother when she was diagnosed with dementia as well as my father. I find the staff to be dedicated and professional they really are unsung heroes. The management always communicated well with me and my brother. The home itself is clean and tidy with great facilities well done Alpine.

Mum has been at the Alpine for several years now, she has mental health needs which would not normally be expected to be managed by a care home, however the staff at the Alpine show such care and compassion when her mental health deteriorates and because they treat everyone as individuals they have
spent time in developing the best way to support her. They always keep me informed if there are any changes in Mum's health and I am always included in any decision-making. As I hope they know, I am very grateful to them.

I cannot recommend the staff at Alpine Lodge enough, everybody has been so kind, caring and patient with Mum, helping her settle into her new home.
I have also felt hugely supported at what has been a very difficult time for me.

My Mum (who means the world to me and my family), has been at Alpine Care Home for some time now.


Mum was very poorly and taken to hospital and We all feared the worst, but the care at the hospital was actually the worst! My mother was abandoned and left to fade!


It clearly wasn't her time and

the incredible manager and team (all amazing), visited Mum and the conducted an operation to get Mum back to the home from hospital where she could at least have dignity


(I can't tell you how rubbish the NHS was with her and other elderly people that weekend)


Mum returned to Alpine where she has improved inconceivably - through dignity and care and compassion, and clearly love!


I hope anyone thinking of having a loved one cared for to consider Alpine, where Kim and her team are incredible.


My Mum would be so impressed - and I will always be super grateful to the team at Alpine.

We are always made to feel welcome when we visit. Often the care team contact me and my brother with updates and photos.
They arrange everything we want and my mum needs without hesitation.
The home is superbly run with truly amazing activities, meals and comforts.
Thank you to the whole team.

My mum has been a resident at Alpine for seven years. She has Alzheimer's Disease. Since day one, the staff have been friendly and patient, although Mum's moods have not always been easy to deal with. Mum is happy there, largely because she feels comfortable with the staff, the majority of whom have
been there since she moved in. The activities coordinator arranges a good variety of activities, encouraging all the residents to join in. Mum's room is clean and comfortable, and she really enjoys the regular, good-quality meals and snacks. Staff go out of their way to celebrate special occasions. Mum's 90th birthday party was spectacular. Alpine arranged for a singer to come and sing wartime and similar era songs, which Mum and the other residents really enjoyed joining in with. Alpine provided an enormous balloon and banner and a special afternoon tea for Mum, my sister and I. Alpine has been great with Mum. They understand her and know exactly how to deal with her on her difficult days.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Alpine Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.873 for Alpine Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (292 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.873

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alpine Care Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
