Aldringham Court provides excellent care in a lovely setting near Aldeburgh, known for its connection to Benjamin Britten and the well-known Aldeburgh Music Festival. Only two miles from the Suffolk Heritage Coast, residents can enjoy regular trips to the seaside.
As well as long-term care, Aldringham Court also offers respite care, giving people the chance to stay for a short time if they need extra support or if their carers need a break. This service offers reassurance, knowing that relatives are looked after in a caring and safe environment.
The home offers a calm and peaceful setting but also encourages involvement with the local community, with events such as a Summer Fete and Christmas Party bringing everyone together.
The unique building is set within three acres of well-kept gardens and woodland, with plenty of wildlife like doves, pheasants, and even muntjac deer. The rooms are spacious, many with en-suite bathrooms, garden views, and terraces. Each room has a nurse call system, and residents can bring their furniture to make it feel like home.
Aldringham Court offers a variety of activities each week, with something for everyone to enjoy. The home is visited regularly by a hairdresser, chiropodist, physiotherapist, and local clergy. The catering team serves multiple choices of fresh, tasty meals daily, and special diets are always accommodated.
Call today to speak with one of their care solutions advisors, or book a visit to Aldringham Court and discover how they can support you.

My parents (both mum and dad) have been at the home for a few months and on every visit (which is a 5-hour drive from Somerset) I have been made to feel very welcome and all the staff have been so helpful and courteous. Mum and dad are so well looked after and are very happy considering their ill health. The food is amazing and always hot and healthy. I feel safe in the knowledge that my parents are safe and well cared for considering the distance they are from me.

My father had urgent need for care after discharge from hospital and the home rose to the challenge of addressing this need. My father enquired on the Friday, I visited the home on the Saturday. The home manager came out to assess my father on the Sunday and my father was admitted to the home early afternoon on the Monday. The manager and staff have since made my father feel really welcomed and safe in his new surroundings. I could not have asked for a more professional and caring service.

Nice building and lovely furnishings. I would like to hope that all the manager's plans for a family room, a better minibus, nice gardens etc all come to fruition.

I thought some of the staff needed more leadership - some were new and lacked confidence. I was not sure who everybody was and their different roles.

Beyond my wildest expectations. I'd never have thought my father could progress so far so fast and it's all down to the dedication and understanding shown by the whole team at Aldringham. His physical and mental strength is now unrecognisable from the frightened, depressed and anxious man that arrived just a few weeks ago. I'm so grateful his quality of life has been returned to him.

Over seven years, my husband has been once a year for two weeks of respite to give me a break. As soon as I arrived with my husband to show him around the nursing home, I was so impressed with how we were received. Staff were excellent, could not do enough, we were taken "everywhere". A lovely home, my family visited my husband while I was away and all said staff fell over themselves to help and care for him. I know he enjoyed it by what my family saw, he played me up so I know staff had a hard time with him. I would love to have my husband in Aldringham Court in June.

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. I love supporting residents with their everyday needs, from arranging a taxi to enjoying a simple cuppa and biscuit together. Getting to know our residents and their families is one of my favourite parts of the role. Before joining Aldringham Court, I worked at Sizewell B for Westinghouse and Rolls-Royce, before becoming a Business Support Manager for Suffolk County Council. I have also completed my Level 5 Certificate in Leadership and Management.
