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.

My mother was cared for in Aldringham Court following a catastrophic stroke in October 2012. It is a testament to the quality of care she received that she continued to live very comfortably until December 2019, over seven years afterwards, when old age finally caught up with her. My mother was quite a character and her situation did nothing to diminish her sense of humour which was appreciated over the years by several members of staff who I can honestly say became very fond of her. Thank you very much for everything you did.

Overall Experience
My wife was only in for a short time but the care she was given was so good I could not believe it was second to none. It was first class all the way. Unfortunately, my wife passed away. It was very hard to leave her at night but I could go home because the team would take care of her at all "cost".

Aldringham Court laid on a driver to transport my mother and mother in law to this event, so helpful. Thank you so much for your help in so many ways. On return from birthday out, my mother returned to a momentous afternoon at Aldringham Court, with entertainments, decoration '100' banners and ballroom and a birthday cake.
So many cards, presents and good wishes from residents and staff. A memorable day!
My mother loves living at Aldringham Court and the level of care and support from all staff.
She flourishes with people to talk to and activities, care and humour. She has never been happier to have so many positive inputs. It is a joy to visit. Thank you.
She also enjoys the food! Home from home!

I was very impressed by the care that my father received at Aldringham Court. The staff were unfailingly kind, compassionate and humane. Despite having had a stroke and suffering from dementia it was not just his medical needs and personal care which were well looked after. The staff all took the time to talk to him and reach out to him as a person. My father enjoyed the food and the afternoon entertainment, which were sometimes very adventurous and featured snakes! Families and visitors were always welcomed and many of us were regulars and local which added to the family atmosphere.

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.
