Alphington Lodge has been founded on the principle that staff treat residents as their own mother or father would want to be treated. All staff take pride on not just being a care home but as an extended family for all residents.
As a residential home, residents tend to be quite able, but still require the love and support that can only be received through a 24-hour care home. The residents enjoy a friendly, happy, home-from-home atmosphere - getting to know the carers and their fellow residents well.
Residents are encouraged to join in on the daily activities, eat well, sleep well and socialise. The home is very focused on helping its residents to recapture that sparkle for life. And as a smaller home, staff treat the residents as individuals and have time to pay attention to the little things.
Alphington Lodge provides long-term residential care and also day-care. In day-care, individuals may choose to join the home during the day but go back to their own home during the night.
Alphington Lodge also provides support for shorter visits (for example coming for a couple of hours to join for a cup of tea and a bath) and joining in activities with the home's friendly little family.
The home is proud to be a winner of the Top 20 Mid-Sized Care Home Groups, 2024 and 2025.

Before Mum arrived, she was very lonely at home and so asked us to find her somewhere friendly. Alphington Lodge is definitely that. The staff are very helpful and kind. Mum has delicious food provided and is now eating regularly, and enjoying the variety. It's lovely to see her sitting with friends, having a cup of tea and smiling. A big thank you to all the staff.

We couldn't be happier with our dad's experience at Alphington Lodge. He initially came for a two-week respite stay and settled in so well that he is still there now! He loves his room, the staff and interacting with the other lovely residents.
Dad particularly enjoys the food, mealtimes and spending time with everyone in the dining room. He is really thriving with the routine and was made to feel welcome from our very first visit.
We have found all the carers and staff to be incredibly kind, friendly, caring and approachable. Nothing ever seems too much trouble, and they are always happy to help.
As a family, it is incredibly reassuring to know that Dad is happy, safe and so well cared for. Most importantly, we know that all his needs are being met with kindness, dignity and respect.
We are so pleased that what started as respite has resulted in Dad finding somewhere he genuinely feels at home. We would highly recommend Alphington Lodge.

Our dad recently went to Alphington Lodge for respite for a couple of weeks. We recently lost our beloved mum and my dad and our family wanted to see how dad would get on in a care environment. Dad in the 2 weeks really adapted well to the environment. The staff have been really kind and caring, dad engaged with the other residents and sits in communal area which pleasantly surprised us as dad is the first to admit he's not the most sociable of people. Dad feels safe and secure and with a recent diagnosis of dementia the 24 hr care gives dad peace of mind and ourselves that dad is being well cared for and is safe which is a huge relief for us. Dad's stay has been extended currently, as a family we feel happier knowing dad is being well cared for. The home is so friendly and a real home from home environment. Dad enjoys the food , interaction with staff and when he wants joins in with any activity that interests him. Thank you everyone for all your kindness and support to dad!

AL not only stands for AL=Alphington Lodge it also stands for AL = All Lovely. Whether it is the lovely building & grounds which are always kept immaculate, spotlessly clean & well maintained. The superb carers who truly put the care into caring. The delicious,varied & plentiful homemade food. It is lovely that AL still has a homely feel as it is a converted house not a purpose built home so has retained that feeling of being a home. The level of cleanliness is outstanding & good to see in this environment, I have been to other homes where a smell greets you before anything else, in the many many years mum has been at this home I have never smelt anything in any place on site which is so reassuring & testament to the high standards that operate at every level from the standard of cleaning to the really lovely food & treats that are on offer. There are so many lovely little touches like icecreams mid afternoon as it is hot. The staff team are what makes AL though they are amazing.
Thank you so much for your incredible review.

Mother in law has lived at Alphington Lodge for 12 years, is very happy there, enjoys living there & is a bit of a matriarch of the home after being there so long. We visit other care homes visiting relatives & older friends & whenever we leave anywhere else after visiting we appreciate even more the very high standards on every level for everything at Alphington Lodge . We are so glad she has a home that is so clean, never smells, has outstanding caring staff who are by far the home's greatest asset & who just display such care, dignity & so much else to all the residents. Even if someone is doing the laundry or cleaning they will stop to chat to a resident as they pass by. The food is all home cooked, varied, plentiful & there are so many nice touches that appear to keep the food interesting & varied. This week one afternoon they had icecreams, cake & iced coffee mid afternoon as it was so hot. Martine and Harry are both great, so approachable & do a great job & lead a great team.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for entrusting Alphington Lodge with your mother-in-law's care over the past 12 years. We are delighted to hear that she is so happy and has become such a valued and much-loved member of our community.

The staff were attentive, patient, and respectful, always taking time to understand my mum's needs and ensure she was comfortable and well cared for. Communication with the family was very good, and we always felt listened to and kept informed.
The home itself was warm, welcoming, and well maintained, creating a calm and supportive environment. It was reassuring to know my mum was in safe hands during what could have been a difficult time.
