Generally pleased with the standard of care from professionals and care workers and cleaners. There are some minor issues that are resolved quickly. My husband has settled well and appears happy and content. Good environment with a conservatory and a good garden.

A very clean, if a little sterile, modern nursing and care home. As always the individual care varies with different staff members but is generally at a very high standard. Seem well motivated and there are obvious signs of of continuous training. only occasional use of agency staff. Communication between
staff is occasionally poor.

I have been visiting this residency for almost 9 years weekly except when there were no visitors due to covid. I've been greeted in a warm, welcoming manner by all members of staff, and whenever any concern regarding my mother I've been informed and kept updated. Thank you to all the staff for all their

My mum has been here for over 4 years, the staff have become like family to us. From activities to housekeeping from hospitality to nursing admin. The care and compassion cannot be bettered from all departments. My admiration for them has only grown over the last year of the pandemic when they have
gone above and beyond. Thank you for caring so brilliantly for my mum.

My mother has been a resident at Allingham House for 7-years. It has been an interesting journey for her, and us, as a family. Challenges have been many, but all made infinitely more east to cope with because of the due care and attention of the staff at Allingham House. I consider you her family and
friends. The ambience and daily interaction keep Mum thriving. For this, we are truly grateful, thank you.

My mum entered the care home in March. I have found the staff very kind and caring and they have really looked after my mum. The entertainment staff are very friendly and have a full programme of activities every day which my mum really enjoys. I have been able to Skype with my mum regularly during
lockdown and this has really helped to see how Mum is getting on. I have been kept updated about my mum’s condition whenever there have been any problems. I find the staff extremely friendly and helpful.

Overall I am pleased with the care and service given to my brother and in trying to adapt care to his needs. I just wish there was a bit more feedback about him especially as I have not been able to visit and I am always reluctant to phone as I feel I am taking up valuable time of the staff.

Reply from Jackie Hallewell, Marketing Coordinator at Allingham House Care Centre

Thank you for your kind review. We have no restriction on the calls made to the home and would encourage you to contact us any time you like. We also offer a Skype service, which we can arrange with you at a convenient time. We are currently allowing pre-arranged visiting, which we are happy to organise for you.

Our experience has been positive. My mum is quite new to Allingham and it is early days but she looks clean and well cared for. The staff have had to work extra hard during the pandemic but have made us feel welcome and helped us to settle my mum in as much as is possible at present.

The home is much improved since the appointment of the new manager approximately 6 months ago. New permanent staff have been recruited and there are now very few agency staff. The food continues to be of a high standard - always hot with a varied menu. The home is always clean and well presented. Since
the home locked down carers, nurses and activity staff have been outstanding. Every effort has been made to maintain contact between residents and families in these difficult circumstances. The manager and senior staff are approachable and keen to address any issues arising.

Allingham House has had its ups and downs. Head office has had its eye on the downs - and invested time and energy towards the improvement of quantity and quality of care. Unfortunately, during the "down" last year, a large number of really excellent members of staff left.
My father died there two
weeks ago. He had been there three and a half years and seen six managers; only one of whom was really not up to standard.
Dad received the best care Allingham House could give. I have come to see the staff as a family - they care for the residents, have patience and respect for each and every one. Activities staff are creative, kitchen staff and dining staff at such a level that Dad thought he was living in a hotel. The laundry service is highly professional, even though things still get lost. The day and night staff work long shifts, but they still approach the residents with a smile and respect. No words can describe the professionality of the nurses. The home smells of "clean". Good luck to the new manager!

Overall Allingham is improving with more staff around and music activities (which all the residents seem to enjoy the most), becoming more frequent. Mum has had a few unexplained falls, which is concerning and I also find her looking a bit dishevelled as if the first thing found in her wardrobe is what
is put on - not coordinated or thought about.

My Mum, who has vascular dementia, has now been in Allingham House for just over a year, she was extremely anxious when she first arrived and it has taken a great deal of time for Mum to be moved / handled without being frightened and panicking, the credit has to go to the wonderful staff who have got
to know her and handle her anxiety. Mum is now very happy and relaxed in Allingham surrounded by kind staff (permanent and agency) who do genuinely care about her quality of life) I have been extremely impressed with the way Allingham has improved since the previous Manager left, the mood in the home is now calm and professional - the staff are happier and more relaxed whilst doing their jobs, and I believe they are now being lead by a manager who has respect for everyone and genuinely cares. There is an activities team, who are absolutely dedicated to stimulating the residents and breaking the monotony, plus external entertainers who are also excellent.
I wouldn’t want my Mum anywhere else.

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.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 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

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
