Review from Margaret C (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad has been here at Alpine Lodge for the last 4 years, I am very happy to leave him in the safe hands of the care staff here at Alpine Lodge. His needs are catered for with the care and consideration that a 95-year-old man with dementia required. The staff are very welcoming and very attentive with
each resident. Great care is taken to make sure they are well fed and clean. In my experience, the staff look after their residents as they would look after members of their own family. Very reassuring.

Review from Reg W (Son of Resident) published on 10 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alpine Lodge is a modern and very well run nursing home. The service provided is exceptional in all aspects and the staff are even more exceptional. They care dearly about the residents and and look after them in a loving way. My Mum was a resident for a few weeks entering with a terminal illness. The
end of her life care and love she was given was very special. The family and I are so pleased we chose Alpine Lodge for my Mum's last few weeks.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.510)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.510) 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 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.689 for Alpine Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.689
  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 4.821 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alpine Lodge is based on 11 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 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
    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. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.821
  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.
