When asked which care home Dad would like to go into, he said Alpine Lodge.
My father is in his late 80s, but on the day of going to Alpine, he did;t want to go, but when he got there, all staff were brilliant with him. He had not been eating meals at home but eating everything there. He enjoyed all
the chats with the staff. Bedrooms are very spacious, bright and well-decorated.
Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Alpine LodgeMany thanks for taking the time to review our home. It is our pleasure to care for your dad, and we are delighted at how he has settled in. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and I will, of course, pass them on to the Alpine family.

I have not put excellent as I think there is always room for improvement. Alpine Lodge staff have looked after my mom, 101 years old, for three years now, they are friendly caring and helpful and I feel confident in their care for Mom. Management has changed a few times over the three years but seems
to settled these last few months. They are approachable and caring and friendly. Overall I am pleased with the care Mom has received.

All the staff are welcoming, very pleasant and happy to chat. This includes the cleaners, office and domestic staff. My sister has settled well and has been supported with whatever she has needed. She has been treated with loving care since her admission. I couldn't ask for more! Wonderful all around.

Review from Kay A (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was in Alpine Lodge for just a few short weeks after transferring from a Nursing Home in Sheffield. The difference between the two homes has restored my faith in human nature. The home is bright, clean and welcoming and the staff are amazing. They actually care about the residents. Mum was shown
care, understanding, friendship, compassion and respect and was treated with dignity and gentleness. The food looked delicious and nutritious and if Mum didn't feel like eating staff always found something to tempt her with. Whenever we visited everyone was welcoming and friendly and made time to fill us in on Mum's progress. I would highly recommend Alpine Lodge for anyone looking for a safe and loving place for their elderly relative.

Alpine Lodge is always clean, bright and warm. Every member of staff is friendly and helpful. The food is good and has adequate portions. No one is forced to go to the dining room if they don't want to. My mum is always encouraged to join in activities, though I know she does not always want to, but
staff often chat so she is not left isolated for long periods. I know my mum can be awkward and short-tempered, but the staff always treat her with firmness and compassion, and we thank them for their patience.

The caring staff are excellent, along with the supervisory team. My mum feels very comfortable with the level of care she receives and with the interactions with all the staff in the care home. She enjoys the food and the flexibility of the catering staff. The only thing she misses is a good coffee.

My elderly relative has dementia. We have waited for her to have a place at Alpine Lodge. Last week she moved in. The staff have been very friendly, welcoming, helpful and attentive. She says the food is very good. Her room is small but well-furnished. We were able to make it homely with her personal
items. Hopefully, she will settle into her new home and be happy and safe. First impressions are perfect. I'll review again in a few months. Thank you.

My Mum has always had a very high level of care over the 9 years she had been at Alpine Lodge. She passed away on 1st January 2021, peacefully at 87 years. All staff at the home have shown great empathy and have assisted me after the end of life in dealing with the funeral company and all other details/requests
I have required.

I have visited my mum-in-law a few times before lockdown and found the home to be very welcoming and clean. The staff are friendly and caring, the food also looks very good and varied. The rooms are lovely as are the communal areas; they seem to have quite a few activities and days out and entertainment
etc. My mum-in-law also looked clean and tidy, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home.

Our experience of this home is without doubt superb. Staff, the building, care all excellent.

Thank you, just doesn’t seem enough.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.594)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.594) out of 10 for Alpine Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.644 for Alpine Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 216 Ratings = 4.644
  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 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alpine Lodge is based on 18 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 18 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.
