Review from L W (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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 can be. The staff are unfailingly patient and kind with her.. And she can be difficult!

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.

Overall Experience

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 has been living at Alderingham Court for nearly two years.
During that time she has received a very high standard of care, her needs have always been met.

All members of staff are friendly, professional and approachable, willing to discuss any questions I may have regarding my mum's care.

Overall Experience
Staff are excellent, friendly and very obliging, nothing is too much trouble for the residents or visitors.
The home is very welcoming, a coffee machine for all to use as you enter the building and often freshly baked cakes also.

There is always something going on for the residents to partake in, everything from bingo to coffee and cake mornings, everyone being included. They also organise day trips out for the residents.

Review from W L (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from P C (Brother of Resident) published on 8 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Fiona L (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Karen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Travelled from Ireland to visit my brother for the second time, I am pleased that he has adapted to his new surroundings very well. All staff are very professional and caring in the way they handle each resident during the course of their shift. We were made to feel very welcome each time we arrived. This is an excellent facility.
