Review from Janet S (Wife of Resident) published on 28 May 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff are caring and willing to take on board suggestions for his care eg loss of both hearing aids, which I have purchased new ones. The nurses will incorporate a check for the aids in their hourly inspection, all nurses will be advised of this when the new aids arrive. They have organised his room. The staff always make me very welcome. I appreciate the social media posts - it is comforting to see him taking part in activities.

Review from Joanne W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mum was at Aldringham Court for around 3 months in all. When she first arrived, she could be quite challenging and the staff were nothing but brilliant with her. After a lengthy hospital stay, mum was welcomed back to Aldringham with such warmth, as was I and all her family. They nursed mum until she passed away, and the care, compassion, empathy and kindness shown to us all was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble, whether it was mum wanting ice cream for breakfast, the constant cups of tea, and most importantly, the support and hugs we as family got when times were hard. The food served to residents is first class, and particularly when mum wasn't eating much it was never to much trouble to provide her with something else. Mum was treated with respect and dignity throughout her stay. I never expected a nursing home to feel like home, but at Aldringham Court it really does. I will be forever grateful.

Mum was a very difficult person to look after as she was very agitated. The staff were all so patient and kind. We couldn't fault the care she received. They not only looked after her but always asked if we were ok as well.

Review from V H (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

It's a massive change for everyone when a relative goes into a care home so it's important that the choice of home is right for the resident and their family. My mum settled in straight away mainly because of the family vibe in Aldringham Court and the wonderful caring staff.

The care that my late dad received was excellent. The care and attention they gave my dad, myself and his sister were way beyond excellent and caring. They gave my dad care to pass away with dignity. Thank you to everyone who cared for my late dad.

Review from Mary C (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I couldn't fault the care and attention my mum received during her end-of-life palliative care. The manager and staff were always popping in to check on her and to make sure that any visitors had refreshments. A very friendly home with caring staff. I cannot comment on value for money as she was NHS-funded.

Review from A L (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly. My family member was cared for and had everything she needed. Had a lovely view from French doors, we were able to personalise the patio so that my family member had her own things to look at. The staff were very helpful with providing meals that she needed. My mum loved her porridge. They were always happy to make it for her when she fancied it.

Review from Tracy E (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After our mum had been in hospital for six months February-August 24, we needed a nice home for her as Muum has many needs. We were offered Aldringham Court but thought it would be too far away, but we went to look at it, and on arrival, as soon as we saw the grounds and the inside, we were amazed. The room was lovely and all the staff were friendly. Mum has been in for two weeks nearly and has settled in. All staff and management are really nice and caring and definitely made Mum at home. Every visit Mum has been better and we are very thankful.

My reasoning for completing this review is based on my experience yesterday visiting a friend in your care home.

I was very impressed with all the staff. They were smiling and kind and want to thank them all for being there and caring with utmost patience. Thank you so much.

When we visited Aldringham Court we found the home welcoming, homely and friendly. Staff seemed happy, helpful and caring towards residents and relatives. Reading the notice boards there are plenty of interesting activities for residents to get involved in and it is good that relatives are welcome to join in. Mum said she was happy and well cared for.
