The care at Alpine is generally very good, as with everywhere, more staff would be welcome. Staff are friendly, approachable and helpful. Rooms and communal areas are kept clean, and food is good. Activity calendar is also very full. The only thing is, the kitchen areas, bathrooms, and carpets could all do with an overhaul. Very dated.
Thank you for your considered feedback. We'll pass your comments, and your thanks, on to the team.

My dad has been a resident in Alpine Lodge since January 2025 .Before I settled on Alpine I did look at 5 other care homes before choosing this one ,for me ,and my dads needs I felt it had exactly what we were looking for . The home is extremely clean and smells nice and is very welcoming ,nicely decorated and the rooms and garden are very well maintained . The food is plentiful and carries a 5 star for hygiene. I visit and take my dad out very regularly and have over the time he has been there built up a great relationship with the staff ,so much so I consider them friends . I can sleep easy knowing he is well cared for and any medical issues are dealt with promptly. The entertainment team are great and provide several different activities throughout the week .
Thank you so much for your kind words and review. We are so pleased to hear about the positive experience that your dad and family have had with the home. Your comments are much appreciated.

The activity team are great, interaction, games and hands on stimulation make time pass and ensures residents aren't sat in front of the TV all day/night.
Food could be more versatile to suit the needs of dementia patients. Please use a specialist dietitian.

My Mother has been in this care home for just over a year suffering with Alzheimers disease. I visit quite regularly at different times of the day. I have always found my Mum"s room to be spotless clean. Also the comunal rooms are well kept. All the care home staff are exceptional and very caring and understanding of the residents needs. Particularly, the Activities team do great work for the residents. Supervisor, Tracey, on Mum"s wing is amazing. She always keeps me up to date with how Mum is doing. She is a credit to Alpine Lodge and her profession.
