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.

As a family, we are very satisfied with the care my father is receiving. We are always made welcome and nothing is too much trouble for the staff in general. The food is of a high standard and I feel that he is in very safe hands at Aldringham Court.

The Manager and her Deputy were incredibly supportive to my Mother in organising respite care at very short notice; they were both so empathetic, humorous and caring. The care staff were excellent, caring and considerate.
Food was excellent, my Father was able to have his main meal with my Mother each day. Facilities very comfortable, a room with a view. Maintenance staff were very obliging.
Overall, nothing was too much trouble, the two-week respite was so comforting in providing security at a time of unexpected ill health following a fall. All staff were smile and friendly, warm and welcoming.

Mum has been at the home for two years now and has been well looked after during that time.
Mum is a very private person and can be confused, so found it hard to adjust to the change in her circumstances, initially.
However, the staff are excellent and treat her with compassion and dignity, and encourage her to be as independent as possible, within her capabilities.
Visiting is anytime, which is a real bonus. The staff are always very welcoming to us and other family members.
The atmosphere in the home is always relaxed and friendly, and the new manager is very capable, friendly and approachable.
In the short time the home manager has been in post, there have been positive changes to the routine care of the residents. Standards, in general, are also being addressed. Queries I have raised were dealt with promptly. This positive approach is heartening.

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.
