Welcome to Alpine Lodge in Stocksbridge, Sheffield, a purpose-built care home located in a peaceful and scenic area of Sheffield. Situated next door to is Stocksbridge Bowls Club where residents can enjoy a peaceful day out.

Each of the 67 ensuite wet room bedrooms are furnished to the highest standard, offering residents the chance to enjoy pure comfort and tranquillity.

At Alpine Lodge providing independence and choice is very important – residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms with their own belongings to help them feel at home and as comfortable as possible.

All residents are supported to live an active and fulfilled life and are given person-centred care enabling them to keep on doing the things they’ve always loved – and often the things they perhaps thought they could no longer enjoy.

As part of the Sheffield-based community, residents can help themselves to drinks and snacks, help out in the garden and other hobbies and exercise their usual routines which enable residents to make their lives theirs.

The facilities at Alpine Lodge allow residents to enjoy other everyday routines that promote independence, from utilising the hair salon, relaxing in the sumptuous lounges, enjoying the gardens and terraces or simply catching up with friends in the dining room.

Alpine Lodge has a busy activities timetable, built around the key goals of mental stimulation, increased mobility and social engagement. Activities include arts and crafts sessions, gardening, exercise classes, cinema nights, quizzes, musical performances, and pamper sessions. There will be a great variety of activities to try, with new activities added frequently.

The in-house chefs will prepare exceptional food from fresh, seasonal produce that’s locally sourced where possible. Menus will include a mix of delicious and nutritious options including traditional classic meals, residents’ favourites and exciting international cuisine.

Dad has been here at Alpine Lodge for the last 4 years, I am very happy to leave him in the safe hands of the care staff here at Alpine Lodge. His needs are catered for with the care and consideration that a 95-year-old man with dementia required. The staff are very welcoming and very attentive with
each resident. Great care is taken to make sure they are well fed and clean. In my experience, the staff look after their residents as they would look after members of their own family. Very reassuring.

Alpine Lodge is a modern and very well run nursing home. The service provided is exceptional in all aspects and the staff are even more exceptional. They care dearly about the residents and and look after them in a loving way. My Mum was a resident for a few weeks entering with a terminal illness. The
end of her life care and love she was given was very special. The family and I are so pleased we chose Alpine Lodge for my Mum's last few weeks.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.509)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.509) out of 10 for Alpine Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.509 for Alpine Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.509

  • 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 Lodge is based on 17 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
