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.
Thank you all once again.

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.

The care and love my mother receives has been exceptional.
The staff are very attentive and incredibly kind.
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.
I’m very grateful for caring for my mum so well.

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.

Mum went into Alpine at the beginning of lockdown, understandably it took a while for her to settle but the staff couldn't have done more to help her and to communicate with us as well. She has now been at Alpine for a couple of years and looks so well and couldn't be more content. Food is home-cooked
and enjoyed, activities are always available and her favourite tipple is enjoyed in the evening! Mum is happy and so am I, so I couldn't ask for anything more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alpine.

Generally very pleased with our relative’s care at Alpine. The outside could be improved as it is rather tatty looking close up and maybe the outdoor social space be made more appealing and appears neglected, but overall the home is good. Always appears clean and has no typical care home odour.

I'm very happy with the care provided to my father by the staff of Alpine in Sevenoaks. The manager is always across the details and the staff are friendly and caring. When I visit I'm always made to feel very welcome and offered tea/coffee and biscuits. My father is happy and settled and looks so much
healthier than he did when living alone. He seems to enjoy the atmosphere and the social activities and is well-rested. I'm very grateful to Alpine for caring for him so well.

My mum has been at Alpine for almost eight months and she settled in so well. The staff are all kind and welcoming, not only to my mum but also to me and my children when we visit. I am very happy with her care. I always receive updates on anything she needs and any concerns they have with her.
Mum
seems very content and there are always different activities going on to keep her mind active. I particularly love the updates on their social media page where I can see what Mum has been doing.
Mum being in Alpine has put my mind at rest knowing she is always being cared for by lovely people who treat her like family.
I would highly recommend this home. It's not a luxury care home but doesn't pretend to be. Instead, it is like a home from home which is exactly what my mum needed.

We absolutely made the right choice by choosing Alpine. All the staff are fantastic, they are so friendly and clearly care about the residents. We have no issues or concerns at all about the care and treatment our dad receives. He loves being looked after by all the staff at the home. My dad moved into
Alpine in 2022. He has received tremendous care. We have phone calls if they need authority for care. The home is warm and clean with no ‘care home’ associated smells. There are fantastic activities throughout the day and we are regularly updated with photos of these on a closed social media group page which is a really nice thing to see. We are so grateful to the staff for everything they do. There is light-hearted banter between the residents and staff which makes for a very relaxed and happy home.

Mum has been in Alpine Care Home for nearly 5 years. The turnover of staff has been minimal so they have all got to know her and her needs extremely well. The staff are always cheerful and show her the utmost respect and patience, she feels safe and secure there. We get regular reports and phone calls
with any updates on her care package and any health concerns. They have worked so hard throughout the pandemic to make everything as normal as possible for the residents. They all deserve a medal. Well done Alpine staff.

My father and his wife have been residents at the Alpine Care Home for the past year. I feel very confident that they are treated with respect, kindness, and that they are recognised for who they are. They have their own double bed and room, which is very homely. The manager and her staff tread a careful
path to negotiate with dad when needing to persuade him to do things for his own safety. There have been very many kind indulgences for them, such as special meals to celebrate special occasions. The staff know them and enjoy them as personalities. Rules and regulations are thoughtfully and compassionately drawn. Communication with my dad, and with the staff has been excellent and I can call any time, as dad can me. The last thing my dad and I wanted was for him to go to a care home, but I do feel that they are well cared for and remain themselves. Staff take great care to ensure their clothes and presentation are as dad and his wife would want. Efficient and homely.

I would like to congratulate the staff at Alpine for the outstanding service they have provided this year. During these difficult times, it has been so comforting to know that my mother has been cared for by such a kind, dedicated and professional team in a warm and homely environment. The manager and
all the staff have ensured that we are kept informed at all times of my mother’s wellbeing and we have appreciated the video calls and Covid secure visits. They have worked so hard keeping the residents entertained and I thank them all for the care and attention to both the residents and the relatives. I would have no hesitation in recommending Alpine.

An updated review since Covid 19 began:
My mother entered Alpine Care just before lockdown began in March and the family only managed to visit her once before the home closed - thankfully early to visitors which has kept the home safe; it’s with the manager and staff’s dedication that this Home has
dodged the Covid-19 grasp. Add to that the (now improved) contact about mum, what occupies her and the residents - especially with the activity co-ordinator's creativeness is praiseworthy. My biggest wish is for their neighbour to sacrifice some of the parking space at the front of Alpine property grounds to extend and landscape the existing small garden for the residents and staff to enjoy. All strength to the team for managing a difficult year of tough challenges!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.871 for Alpine Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (354 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 404 Ratings = 4.871

  • 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 34 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 34 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.
