Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 5 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Run by Alpine Health Care Limited, Alpine Lodge is a nursing home in Sheffield with 67 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Sheffield, where the typical home has 34 beds.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in July 2025. 82% of homes in Sheffield also score 5. 66 other homes in Sheffield share its tier, “Good”. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now.
In December 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in August 2023, it was rated Requires improvement. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 5 fell below good. The lowest was “independence, choice and control” (some shortfalls).
