Reviews
Alpine has a very at-home environment with friendly staff. Every staff member is professional and knowledgeable about . I would recommend this place to anyone who wants their loved one treated well and with kindness. Good quality healthcare is difficult to find. Alpine is unique in many ways and has the highest quality of care for their patients and residents. Both rehab and nursing works hard to ensure that patients are safe and treated properly. Each department plays a role in the community at Alpine. I rate Alpine with a five star review.
My mother-in -law's health started to deteriorate and we started looking for a nursing home who could meet her needs better than we could. We were so lucky to have her admitted to Alpine. From the very first meeting, I knew this was the correct home for her. The admission process was easy and welcoming. Mom had always been fearful of nursing homes. I am grateful she went there while she was aware and accepting of this change. She appreciated the wonderful care they gave her and also loved their food! We visited frequently and were continually impressed by their care. Staff called and would update us on changes. The care she received was exceptional. We are forever grateful to all of the Alpine staff.
Very family friendly facility. Amazing nurses and aids who are very compassionate. The receptionist, Kaylee Lynch is extremely helpful and a beautiful, friendly face to see when you come through the doors.
My mother Has been a resident at Alpine for the past seven years. The care that she has received has been outstanding. All of the staff are committed to delivering quality patient care. Over the past seven years, we have been notified of any changes in my mother‘s condition. She has never sustained any skin issues which is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the staff. Alpine is a hidden gem and we are so fortunate that my mother is a resident of the facility. Alpine has become our second home . It’s a good feeling to know that my mother is in aplace where she is loved and well cared for. Lynne & Jeff Ferraro
