Aldringham Court

A sincere thank you to the Manager and her Team. A special mention is needed for the Manager-she is absolutely fantastic.

My dad has been here since December 2017 and he is far better here than anywhere else. The care is very good, friendly and welcoming to family and friends. Dad is for better here than when he was in the hospital he is happy and relieved. We are all very happy with my dad's care.

Thank you.

I'm very impressed with the level and care from this home. It is lovely to see all the management and staff are always smiling and positive.

It has proved to be the right choice given the service user's circumstances.

The carers are unfailingly 'wonderful'.

It gives me peace of mind to know that Mum is in a safe and happy environment and respected for herself. Thank you All.

I now feel things are getting better at Aldringham Court with the new manager. She is now on top of everything and seems to get things moving, in the short time she has been there. Have just met the deputy manager and she seems very focused. The food is and looks very nice and hot and mum enjoys it.

I don't know how much is being done for my mother at times.

Slow to respond to pagers.

Friendly and attentive staff, a cheerful atmosphere and excellent, well maintained gardens which provide therapeutic help for residents.

My husband moved to Aldringham Court in April 2016 from another nursing home. I am very happy with the care he is receiving and I appreciate the caring attitude towards me too. He is calm and relaxed, well groomed, clean and dressed. He has many nursing needs and these are well addressed. There is a happy atmosphere at Aldringham Court the staff greet me and talk to me and are kind to the patients. The manager is friendly and approachable and efficient.

I came here from hospital for convalescence prior to going home. I was initially unhappy about not being able to be discharged home. After settling in for two days I realised how lovely it is here. My view from the window is wonderful. The staff always cheerful and helpful my choices respected. If I has to move to a home permanently Aldringham would be it.

I was reluctant for my husband to go from hospital into a nursing home, but needs must. I realised he needed more care than he could have at home, even with 2 agency carers, 4 times daily and myself on hand all the time. My son and I went just to look at Aldringham Court. We really scrutinised the place. We were not only satisfied with what we saw but knew this was it. It proved to be very homely, welcoming, well trained and kind staff. He had a very pleasant room of his own, also near the nursing station. I spent time with him every day from morning until night. He was always kept clean, shaved and dressed like I wanted him to be. I have no hesitation in recommending this home from home.

I have been caring for my friend for over six years with many changes, re management, staffing and the home being extended. My friend loves her room and is content to enjoy her own company despite many opportunities to associate with residents and staff. I had considered moving her to a different home at one stage, but can honestly say I am glad I didn't. This was due to the very kind help and understanding received from management at that time, who met all the needs that was very unhappy about at that point. Having had so many managers almost seven years (of all characters), I am so pleased with our current manager, from day one I really feel included, from my observations, the home is again the friendly caring and happy home it used to be. The carers are brilliant.

Residents appear to be well cared for, in my cousins case she always smiles broadly and when staff appear. She is unable to communicate but seems very comfortable and happy.

Lovely staff, good management. They try very hard to get it right. My mother, then aged 92 and dying, 18 months on and almost 94 has learned to walk with a frame and is able to enjoy some quality of life again!

The staff have got used to her and always treat her with respect. I am very grateful for the fact that she is very safe and cared for.

Dad made Aldringham Court his home a few months ago and settled in very quickly with the help of all the staff. The carers are compassionate, the nurses experienced and professional and the kitchen staff have helped dad enjoy his puréed food again with a colourful and varied diet. The Manager and her team make Aldringham Court a family friendly environment in which to visit their loved ones. Everyone plays their important part, from the welcome at reception, entertainment provided for the residents to helping set up dads room, moving furniture, installing the TV and looking after the beautiful grounds outside.

My mum has been here for over 2 years now and is very happy and content. All staff are very friendly, kind and caring. We can visit at any time and when we do the staff are all very welcoming. The facilities are good, mum has a lovely warm room with ensuite toilet and washbasin and this is kept spotlessly clean. On the whole mum enjoys her food and the chef makes delicious cakes! Several activities are organised for the residents to join in and entertainment is regularly organised which the residents enjoy, including a Summer fete and Christmas party.
