My mother has been a resident at The Alpines for approximately four months, during this time the staff have enabled and helped her to settle in well, which has provided reassurance and eased the stress during a difficult period for the family.

The first time that I went to the care home I was impressed with the security. The rooms were bright, clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The residents were talked to and treated with care and courtesy and all seemed to be happy to be there.

My mother came to Alpine Care Home from hospital as a patient with parkinsons and early dementia. Upon arrival mum was greeted with a coffee and a dinner. We were taken to her room which was very comfortable. I was able to furnish the room with mums own belongings so as to provide familiar surroundings.
The staff were/are all very good and helpful in every way possible to residents, carers/family visitors as well.

So far it has been an excellent experience to see my mother-in-law settle in. She looks well taken care of.
The staff are very attentive and caring. There are always things going on when I visit, bingo, word games, jigsaws. The home is bright and cheery.

My mother is very happy with her new home and new friends. She tells us she is more active than she used to be because she is encouraged by a very understanding and courteous team working at the home. She enjoys the food and her accommodation.

We were looking for a homely atmosphere as a place for my mother to live and Alpine Care Home certainly provides this. The staff are very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is wonderful with lots of laughing and general contentment observed.
The care home provides interaction activities which
mum enjoys.
I think mum is happy there.

My Mother received nothing but kindness, empathy and understanding from the Staff. She was happy at the home although only there for a relatively short time. Well done the Alpines. The Home is now being updated for the benefits of the residents and staff alike

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.

  • 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 4.889 for Alpine Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (296 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.889

  • 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.

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.
