Review from Bernadette R (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Allingham for over a year. I visit her almost every day (5min to 7 days a wk) at varying times. I have got to know most of the staff who care for her during days and evenings and I think they are marvellous. They are a happy and hardworking bunch and demonstrate great
teamwork and professionalism. My mum is bedridden and requires high level of care (hygiene, clothing, sore prevention, general checks/occasionally one on one etc) all of which is given to highest standard. Staff understand Mum, are familiar with her past life and treat her with great care, dignity and respect. As mum's health has deteriorated and her sleeping/eating patterns have become more erratic they have worked hard to deliver required care commensurate with her needs and cope brilliantly with her when she is 'difficult'
The team at Allingham have my respect and gratitude!

I've got limited intimate experience of Allingham House, but from my experience with my mum, it is a welcoming, friendly well-run, efficient, upbeat and sociable care home with very high standards of facilities, care and consideration. I would encourage you to get my mum included in as many of the great
activities on offer and to take her out in the garden, etc., as much as possible. My mum used to enjoy gardening, knitting and knows the town very well - try and get her chatting to residents.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father displayed difficult and challenging behaviour when he 1st came to Allingham House. The staff were very good and patient with him. After a few issues they settled him well. I find all staff approachable if I or any member of family need information or want to make any changes to his care plan.
Well done all who work at Allingham, not just the carers but all staff. We do wish however he had a room away from the metro line as its very noisy when the windows are open.

Dad getting best care he needs. The staff are friendly & helpful in that any concerns we can approach them and they will do there best to take notice for example if dad hiding pads they check. Gave suggestion of larger bin in bathroom to see if it helps dad see bin (which they will organise straight
away).

The care home have looked after my father for appox 2 weeks for assessment. I have found him to be well cared for during his stay. This is a difficult job and the staff have discharged their duties with care and professionalism. The doctor associated with the home has been excellent and very supportive.
The care home has made a very good effort to keep the family in the loop. The staff are always helpful and welcoming to family visitors. This has been a reassuring experience.

Review from Elizabeth D (Respite Resident) published on 20 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was in respite care for 5 weeks in Allingham and we were very pleased and appreciative of the care he received there.
I was undergoing a hip replacement so was unable to care for him. He has dementia and found it difficult to converse with the other residents but I believe the staff encouraged
him and he took part in various activities thanks to their attention and encouragement. I think he also attended a Church service there on one occasion which he enjoyed.
He was always well 'turned out' when we visited and walking down the corridor to his room or to the Dining room helped to keep him mobile as well as the exercises.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My dad was in this home from 2022 until his passing June 2024. The care he received wasn't good at all. We felt like he was just another number that needed sorting out with his daily chores i.e. changing, feeding etc. No compassion for my dad as a human being. Thank god as a family we could go to see
him most days but felt very sad for the residents that didn't have many family visits. I could go on and on with the treatment my dad had here in this place but it only starts to upset me when I have to think about it and what he should never have gone through.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can't recommend Allingham House enough. Although similarly to most care homes staff were overstretched, they were just wonderful with my dad and did their best under the circumstances. The staff took time to understand my Dad's individual needs and provided personalised care. My dad had a high need
for social interaction and several members of staff spent time chatting with him and helped him to call me from his mobile when he was struggling. The staff took time to help my dad continue doing what was important to him despite his deteriorating due to his illness: they helped him play the piano and go on the adapted exercise bike each day to maintain his fitness. They even took him to a different home to join in with a carol service so he could have a change of scenery and more social contact. They went to such an effort to get him to eat when his appetite failed offering different foods, considering the best portion sizes and patiently encouraging him without being forceful.

My husband could not talk or walk. 10th May seen bruising to his right eye, 12th May emailed the photos to the manager in Leeds. 13th May Home Manager and Regional Director both unhappy I sent photos to Leeds, both said they could not see bruising, Regional Manager asked if I wanted to move my husband
to another care home. My reply to her, my husband is not the problem, they had investigated the outcome, he had bruising to his eye and they think he did it to himself with a soft toy Elephant Babies. My review for staff doesn't reflect all staff, some excellent, some good and poor.
Reply from Katrina, Regional Director at Allingham House Care Centre

Thank you for your comment, just to clarify that this incident was investigated and addressed at the time, it was also reported to safeguarding and closed down. I apologise if you are unhappy with the outcome of this incident, although you were given the opportunity to challenge the outcome at the time, which you declined to do. However, we will pass on any positive comments to the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was recently discharged from hospital and eventually became a resident at Allingham. Several of the staff formed particularly positive relationships with my mother and she appeared to really enjoy those interactions. Getting her to smile and have a joke meant a lot to us during this time.
On top of this there were other examples of responsiveness to my mum's specific interests and needs, such as watching a certain programme on catch-up, and helping her get out in the garden safely on sunny days. I was really glad my mother benefited from such a caring environment.

I can not thank the whole team at Allingham House Care Centre enough. For over twelve months, they cared for my partner with professionalism, kindness, respect and dignity. They recognised and responded to his changing care needs and cared for/supported me when his end of life neared. The staff create
a positive, welcoming and happy environment and residents are treated like a big family in a clean and well-presented environment.

I have been visiting my friend at this home for the past few months, I have always found the staff very friendly and welcoming. The home is always very clean (no smells).
Even though my friend suffers from dementia the staff are always very respectful to her, they seem to know every client by their

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.075)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.075) out of 10 for Allingham House Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.319 for Allingham House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 188 Ratings = 4.319
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.756 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Allingham House Care Centre is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.756
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
