Set within three acres of beautiful gardens and woodland near Aldeburgh, Aldringham Court provides compassionate, person-centred residential and respite care in a peaceful setting just two miles from the Suffolk Heritage Coast.
The Grade II listed building combines historic character with comfortable accommodation and spacious communal areas. Bedrooms are generously sized, many with en-suite facilities, garden views, and private terraces. Residents are encouraged to bring personal furniture and belongings to make each room feel like home.
The dedicated team takes time to get to know each resident, providing care and support shaped around individual needs, preferences, and routines, while promoting dignity, choice, and independence.
A varied programme of activities and entertainment offers residents opportunities to continue existing interests, try new experiences, and spend time with others. The home also maintains strong links with the local community, with events throughout the year bringing together residents, families, and local visitors.
The extensive grounds are a particular feature of Aldringham Court, with well-kept gardens, woodland, and an abundance of wildlife, including doves, pheasants, and muntjac deer. The location near Aldeburgh and the Suffolk coast also offers opportunities for trips to the seaside and the surrounding area for residents.
Fresh meals are prepared each day, with a choice of dishes available and individual dietary requirements and preferences for each resident taken into account. Visiting professionals include a hairdresser, chiropodist, and physiotherapist, alongside visits from local clergy.
Aldringham Court also offers short-term respite care, providing the same personalised care and support in a welcoming environment, whether a resident is recovering after a hospital stay, requires additional support for a period of time, or would benefit from a short stay at the home.

This is a very loving and welcoming Care home, my uncle is very well looked after and really loves being at Aldringham. All the staff a very kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is a good range of entertainment for the residents. The meals are freshly prepared and residents have the choice of what they would like and is adapted to meet there needs. The new manager Amanda is so lovely she had really turned the care home around and spends her time with the residents getting to know them.
Nothing seems to be too much trouble for them, and are always happy to explain anything to you.
I am so pleased to have my mum in there, knowing she has 24 hour care and support.

My mother, who is now 100, was moved from an NHS hospital to Aldringham Court for palliative care. Her care has been so good that she's still alive two years later and whenever I visit her needs are evidently being meet, for example, she is clean, dressed, lipstick on and in as good health as she...
When Mum first moved in she would spend time in the lounge and I was impressed by the variety of activities on offer. I know she particularly enjoyed the musical entertainment and spending time in the garden. Mum has now taken to her bed as she retreats from the world but she enjoys looking at the trees from her room.
Staff are always friendly and helpful, Mum is always given reassurance when anxious by the staff who go the extra mile to calm her down when needed.

I have been incredibly impressed with the staff at Aldringham Court. The care my mother received was excellent. We have since moved her to Yorkshire to be nearer to us but when we were looking for her new care home the deciding factor was that it had to have the same feel as Aldringham Court.

Mum is a fairly recent resident but after a couple of weeks respite care she decided to stay which we are very pleased about. All the staff are lovely, very friendly and helpful, happy to go the extra mile to assist if needed. Facilities are very good with lovely views from the rooms. The entertainment staff do an amazing job of involving the residents in lots of activities, lovely to see them all enjoying the lounge. The cafe is a thoughtful place for families, and the newly added coffee mornings are a lovely touch.

My brother was placed in Aldringham Court Care Home, suffering from lung cancer, which had metastasised into the brain. He was very well cared for by the nursing staff and care assistants. We visited every month or so and always found the home to be a very welcome place. It is a very well run nursing home with very dedicated and thoughtful staff. I cannot praise them highly enough, especially the nursing staff who were there for our brother when he passed. Well done to you all.

My mother had 2 weeks of respite care at Aldringham Court because her companion was away, and to inform a decision down the line as to her care preferences. We found the staff outstanding, without exception, everyone was so happy, kind, caring and proactive. Staffing levels were high, which made the whole environment calm and reassuring. My mother said the food was excellent, and again catering staff was very helpful. Mummy would have liked to have gone into the garden without being accompanied - I understand this is more practical in the summer months. A successful first visit. P.S. Other residents seemed to be comfortable and catered for. Thank you.

My elderly mother stayed at Aldringham Court for four months while her home was completely renovated after a flood. Throughout her stay, she was cared for and made to feel welcome. The staff were friendly and helpful to both my mother and her family and friends. The home was incredibly clean and tidy, and always smelled homely. The friendly activity team did all they could to include my mother in all activities. It would be a huge benefit if the garden were more accessible for residents. There were a few occasions when male residents came into my mother's room, which made her feel very unsafe. This needs to be addressed.
Both my relatives have settled in very well and the security provided by them being residents is very comforting. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

I am extremely happy with the care my father is receiving at Aldringham Court. After a few very unsettling years, my father has found peace in its beautiful surroundings. The staff could not be more caring towards my father and are always very welcoming when I visit. Dad is included in a wide range of activities that take place at home, and I love seeing the photos posted on their social media page of what they get up to. The nursing staff are very professional and are always willing to discuss Dad's health and well-being. Dad enjoys the 'home cooked meals' and I am very grateful for the time and effort spent on his birthday. The special birthday cake and gifts made his day. It is a lovely place for my father's last years. Thank you.
Very friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere the rooms are a nice size with en suite with a view into a nice garden im glad that my dad is spending his days here nothing is too much trouble for the staff

Met at reception with a smile. Was pleasantly surprised to meet my family member looking so well. The care he has been given has enhanced the quality of his life greatly. He no longer needs assistance to walk - his diet has improved and so too has his strength. He is engaging with the other residents and partaking in activities, painting being his favourite. It is such a relief to know he is happy the worry we had is gone.

Elaine really enjoys working with the elderly, she finds it so rewarding and loves her role.Prior to working at Healthcare Homes, Elaine was an Activities/Health Care Assistant.
Elaine believes you need to be kind, compassionate and understanding, to have a good understanding of dementia and the needs of the very ill and frail and to have an understanding of equality and diversity.
The favourite part of her working day is going to the resident’s rooms for one-to-one talks and also enjoys organising entertainment and watching and taking part.
Elaine's biggest professional challenge was changing from her carer role to activities and her biggest career highlight is getting the home ready for Christmas and organising events for the residents.
The qualities that make Elaine stand out are to be kind, compassionate and understanding. Be a good listener and a good role model for the team
Outside of work Elaine enjoys walking, gardening, crafting, sewing, crochet, knitting, swimming and spending time with family.
Her most enjoyable part of working at Aldringham Court is making a difference to an individual’s day; just a little smile or reassurance.

I have been the Administrator at Aldringham Court since 2017 and love coming to such a beautiful place to work. I really enjoy my role and being part of a great team that feels like one big family.

Getting to know our residents and their families is one of my favourite parts of the role.
