Alpine Villa Care Home Reviews (2)
Over all time Alpine Villa Care Home has 2 reviews.
My Sister-in-law has been a resident for eight years and we cannot say enough for what the staff do for her. She seems very content and gets all the attention she needs. When we visit we are always given a warm welcome.
Thank you for your kind words. It's so lovely to hear good things about the home and to know we are doing a good job!
The care shown here to my aunt was amazing. They treated her as a person, not a patient and were very interested in "her" dignity . My aunt loved the food and it's the first residential home she has stayed in without complaining about anything. It may not be the plushest of places, but what's better "love and care" or " a big shiny TV"? The management and staff were lovely, friendly and helpful, what more could a concerned family ask for. I could easily recommend this place for your relatives.
