My mom is at Allenbrook for respite. We cannot fault the care my mom has received. The carers are excellent, and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere at all times.
Helen, the manager, listens to all your questions and responds quickly and with understanding.

Highly recommend.

Review from J I (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 April 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After quite a difficult year, my family and I came to the decision that my mum needed far more than family and daily carers could provide. After an initial visit and several questions and queries, we decided to choose this care setting for mum. She was greeted very warmly and introduced to many of the staff and management on her first day. Mum is very anxious and has not always found it easy, but staff are kind, helpful and empathetic.

Overall Experience
My father recently spent a short time at Allenbrook's where he was treated with both compassion and dignity. The staff at Allenbrook were kind and caring, welcoming my father and our family and making him comfortable in his final days.

I cannot thank or praise the staff enough for the care they provided at such a difficult time.

Reply from Helen Ayres, Registered Home Manager at Allenbrook Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It was a true privilege to care for your father during such an important and sensitive time. We are deeply grateful that you felt he was treated with the compassion, dignity and comfort he deserved. Your comments mean a great deal to our entire team, and we are honoured to have been able to support both your father and your family.

Overall Experience

The care provided by staff to my husband is excellent. He has been a resident here for 3 years and has been treated with dignity and kindness which is very gratifying as he has several very complex needs. Any issues are quickly and efficiently sorted out by management. It is a place where all residents are given the best individual attention and they are all part of the family. Also a very good activities program is carried out on a daily basis by an excellent team.

Review from George N (Partner of Resident) published on 22 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I found all the staff to be caring & helping. The activities try to involve all the members. The area that's used for members to relax during the day is large & bright with clocks (important) to elderly people, & paintings done by members adorn the walls. Daily, the seats are rotated, which puts members in different positions. The managment are always available and holds meetings for updates and feedback. The staff do a great job under sometimes very difficult conditions.

Review from Val H (Wife of Resident) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Absolutely brilliant. John, my husband, has come on so much since being at Allenbrook Nursing home. He is always doing things that he enjoys - painting, bingo and the sing-a-long. The staff are wonderful. Nothing is too much trouble, they go out of their way to make sure John is happy, comfortable and content.

We, as a family, have no worries at all. We know he gets the best care he could ask for. He's so happy. Food is fab. John has a cooked breakfast every morning. So getting spoilt rotten. Would recommend Allenbrook.

Reply from Helen Ayres, Registered Home Manager at Allenbrook Nursing Home

Thank you for your lovely review - it really means a lot to our whole team. We work hard to ensure every resident and family feels supported, cared for, and valued, so your feedback is incredibly encouraging.

Review from Colin J (Son of Resident) published on 22 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I was looking for respite care for my Mom who has dementia. I approached Allenbrook, from the first meeting, they put my mind at rest. Gave me a tour of the home and explained in detail what they provide. They are very attentive, and Mom felt at ease. Her room is light and bright. We were encouraged to bring a few pictures and trinkets that she liked to have around her to put in the room. I was amazed how quickly she settled in., from the managers, nurses, carers, chefs, activity staff, housekeeping, nothing is too much trouble for them to help you. Mom is more stimulated helping with her activities, to do. The animal man she loved with all the birds and owls. The care is outstanding, giving tablets, her hygiene, her drinking lots, eating. I can't sing their praises enough, it as really out my mind at rest. So much so we are looking at making it permanent.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Dad went to Allenbrook for end of life care and was only there for 10 days. During those 10 days he received excellent care, comfort and was treated with respect and dignity by each member of the friendly staff. Nothing was ever too much trouble. This care extended to my brother and I, too, each time we ²visited. We are so grateful to everyone at Allenbrook for enabling Dad to spend his final days in such a peaceful, caring environment.

It has taken a while but Mom has settled into life here and with encouragement is participating in activities, which is good to see. Care staff are excellent and we are very happy with the overall care Mom is receiving. This is Mom's first experience of living in this type of environment and ti was always going to creat challenges but the care staff have really helped Mom adjust to her new life.

From day one all the staff have been very friendly and approachable. They take very good care of my husband. There's a wake and shake in the morning so its exercising all the body and there's activities all day keeping the brain active. They make a big effort for celebrations eg Christmas which I enjoy also.

Nan has been in Allenbrook since January and the difference in her is fantastic. She was bedbound at home for 2 years. She's now out in the chair everyday socialising and playing games. She is so much more alert and the level of care she gets is great. I find all the staff friendly and welcoming. We are very happy.
