Allington Court is a purpose-built dementia care home. The home is dedicated to caring for adults living with dementia, from early onset to more complex end-of-life needs, including nursing, residential, Parkinson's and short-stay care. Advanced bookings available for short-stay care.
Everything is on one floor, and the building has a circular design. This gives every room garden access, making it easier for residents to find their own way round. The home’s interior has been decorated to suit individuals with dementia, with colour themes and memory triggers.
With the help of their loved ones, staff build a picture of their life story and their likes and dislikes. Staff can then personalise care and help them live the way they want to. Communication and engagement are a big part of life here, too. So, if your loved one finds it easier to use signs and symbols to communicate, the team are happy to use Makaton.
There’s always lots going on within the welcoming community. Activities are run seven days a week and frequently join neighbouring Bupa care home, Tenterden House (offering nursing and residential care), for a range of engaging events and the occasional themed meal.
For more information about life in the home, please visit their Facebook page, search 'Bupa UK Tenterden House and Allington Court'.

My uncle was there for nearly 4 years. He had quite agitated behaviour at first which led another home to reject him for a place but Allington Court managed it and were always happy to talk about how they were caring for him. He was always treated with dignity and affection. The atmosphere in the home is smart, congenial and peaceful. There is a good activity programme and frequent parties and entertainers and the home has large gardens which he enjoyed walking around. He was also taken on outings and care was taken to cater to everyone's interests. When he reached the end of his life, I thought the palliative care they gave was excellent and much better than he would have had in a hospital, a real comfort. There is low staff turnover and this is very good for residents and also their families.
Thank you for your praise. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your uncle in our care.
