Meet The Manager
Andrew Harrison-Ireland is Home Manager at Alpine Lodge.
Alpine Lodge Care Home is situated in the small town of Stocksbridge, close to Barnsley, Penistone and Sheffield, once an area of steelworks and other major industries. Most of our residents come from these areas, as do our staff and this means that residents do not feel isolated from their old homes.
