The home is clean and welcoming with a good atmosphere. The food menu looked good and as far as a care home can be, is a decent good environment for residents away from their familiar home
They have staff who organise activities and genuinely seem to care fur the residents

My Brother and myself are very happy with the facilities of Alpine Care Home. Our mum has been in the home for over 14 months now and she is safe, contented and happy.
The staff at the care home are very caring. There is always something going on at the home with some kind of activity. I would highly
recommend this home to anyone that wants that home comfort feel.

5 STAR REVIEW: Where do I start! Alpine Care home has made my mother in law feel so at home, it's the hardest thing to do to chose somewhere for the queen of our family who has always cared for everybody else & completely selfless. To find somewhere where the staff are not only caring but compassionate
& understanding we can not thank them enough for everything they have done & continue to do every day!
We can't thank them enough from the bottom of our hearts for making us feel our mum is safe, secure, loved & well looked after!

Mum was unsettled at first but with time and the care, compassion and support of the staff she is now happy content. She is now joining in with the activities and is in relatively good health.
The activities are many and varied which is engaging for all the residents. The building itself is clean and
the rooms are of a good standard. The food is good and the residents have a choice depending on preference.
Overall I am really happy with the care my mum receives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.889)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.889) out of 10 for Alpine Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.889 for Alpine Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.889
  2. 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:

    1. 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
    2. 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
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kim Jones

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2007

I have been in Health and Social Care since 1986, 39 years now. I started my journey working in a hospital environment for people who had physical and severe mental health disabilities. I then moved into a small home in the community, still working with adults who had these difficulties. I stayed in this field until 2000, that's when I found my passion for working with people living with Alzheimer's and other Dementias. I have worked managing very successful care homes since. I have furthered my knowledge and skills by completing my Registered Managers Award, NVQ Level 4 and my Diploma 5 in Health and Social Care. My passion is making a difference in the lives of people we care for and their families.

Job Title: Activity Co-ordinator Joined: 2024

With over 20 years of experience across care, education, and the activity provision sector, and as a multi-award-winning professional, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with people living with their own unique needs and challenges, which has opened up a whole new world for me, one that is deeply interesting, endlessly inspiring, and incredibly rewarding. This role continues to teach me so much, and I feel truly honoured to support and connect with individuals at such a meaningful stage of life.

Steve Creswick

Job Title: Head chef Joined: 2021

I have a deep passion for creating nutritious, delicious meals, and I bring a wealth of experience and a personal touch to every dish I prepare. I do my best to ensure that every meal is not only healthy but also enjoyable and tailored to the individual preferences and dietary needs of our residents. I believe that food is not just fuel; it’s an experience that should nourish both the body and the soul. In my role, I take great pride in preparing meals that bring comfort, joy, and a sense of home to our residents. Its important to listen and learn about residents' favourite foods and their preferences, offering a choice. Every dish is made with care, whether it's a favourite comfort food or something new to excite their taste buds. I am told by our team that sometimes the meals I spark conversations and fond memories of cooking or eating with their families. It’s actually heart-warming to hear how through cooking meals that the residents enjoy, I can contribute to making a difference and help with well being and memory.
