Allingham House Care Centre

I wouldn’t want my Mum anywhere else.

All staff are very diligent, compassionate, and always place the needs of residents as the highest priority. My mother was a resident and received palliative care and died in Allingham in 2016, so when my father decided to move into residential care we all only considered Allingham and have not been disappointed with this decision. My father moved in in Oct 2019 and is currently a resident. I am from a nursing background in elderly medicine for the past 38 years and have visited many residential and nursing homes as a Community Matron. I can honestly say Allingham is outstanding. From a personal perspective as a daughter, I feel that Allingham is outstanding.

I have been visiting Allingham House now for over 3 years, to a lady I cared for when she was at home. I'm there twice a day at different times. I find the care to be good and the staff friendly and kind and most have an understanding of the residents. Like all care homes Allingham has its problems. One of which is the lack of staff that are covered by agency workers, but, the plus side to this is the agency staff are always the same people which are mainly very good. After the problems of the home's last manager and the bad CQC report also because of the last manager, Allingham had a lot to improve on and I feel the home's acting manager has done this. The home now has a new manager, who I find to be very kind and understanding of the residents and families within Allingham House. The home is starting to feel how it once was - fun, happy and warm and seems to be on the up again, so much so I recommend Allingham to 2 families of ladies that I care for and are now residents at Allingham House.

Very good care and attention for my husband. The staff are kind and caring and helpful. The home is well kept and clean.

The entertainment staff do a great job and are always enthusiastic. The caretaker manageress has worked wonders in the time she has been there.

My Mum spent the last 5 months here. Before that, her severe dementia meant she was agitated and tormented daily, with no personal care, not allowing me or my wife to attend to that. Her move to Allingham House Care Centre was transformational: settled, calm, peaceful, always well-presented, clean and appropriately dressed. All this was down to the wonderful staff, with some exceptional individuals, always so caring and attentive. The entertainment throughout the week, every week, devised and delivered by an equally wonderful dedicated hospitality team, was also exceptional, in its engagement of residents but also in the lovely, buzzy atmosphere it gives the home. We chose Allingham House Care Centre initially after visiting 20+ other homes. It stood out then, but only as part of a short-list of 2 or 3. After experiencing it at close quarters in my Mum's last 5 months there, we are so thankful we made it our choice. We could not have found a better place for Mum.

I am very happy with the care you provide for my wife, your staff are caring and attentive. Entertainment is good but I do think more singers would help. On the whole, I am very pleased with my wife's care in Allingham House.

The residence is very clean and homely.

I look back with the fondest memories of all the staff at Allingham House. Thank you, everyone, at Allingham House, I can never thank you enough for my dad's care.

Allingham changed my Grandma back to her normal self after thinking there was no going back. She has been there a year in August and says it was the best thing she did for her health and is so glad we made the decision. They have been so supportive through happy and sad times. All the staff are amazing and so thoughtful and friendly. Entertainment staff bring so much joy to everyone. I haven't got a bad word to say, and the care home manager does everything she can to make sure the residents and families are happy. Puts me at ease to know my Grandma is happy and is getting the care she needs. I would highly recommend to anyone considering a care home. You get what you pay for here, they offer so much.

I have found all the staff look after my husband extremely well and they are so friendly and caring with him considering he can't do anything for himself.

The staff at Allingham House were professional, dedicated, caring and considerate towards my father and me. Nothing was too much trouble from our first meeting. All staff including management down to the kitchen staff showed excellent care for service user and relatives. I was able to spend time with my father and was with him right to the end. Nothing was a problem. The place was friendly, clean and positive atmosphere.

My sister has many problems with disability and dementia. The staff are caring and do their very best to look after her in every way to my satisfaction.

The staff are very attentive to the residents and if they require anything they respond very quickly. They are always smiling and interact with the residents. The home is exceptionally clean and the residents are always well manicured, clean and dressed well. There are many activities offered to the residents, including excursions. This home has exceeded all our expectations and as a family, we are very relieved our Mother is being so well cared for.

Visited my friend today. Excellent and helpful staff chatted in clean warm and comfortable lounge. Whilst I do not have intimate knowledge of the home everything seem very good and have no doubt care is excellent.

Food and cleanliness very good overall a happy place to be.

Allingham Care Home is purpose built, clean, comfortable and run with high levels of efficiency and care. The friendly, caring staff are what 'makes' it a good home. They are so kind, courteous and helpful and treat residents as they would their own family. The end of life nursing and care for my father was outstanding. All members of staff/management went beyond the call of duty to look after him. They were so kind and caring. It gave us great comfort to know Dad was so well looked after, at a very difficult/distressing time. Visitor parking at Allingham is often difficult, leading to parking on adjacent roads.

My mum is so happy at Allingham House.

My father has been in the care centre since April of last year and has enjoyed his time there. The staff are amazing, so friendly and jolly. They spent time with him and really engaged with him. They also made the family feel welcome.

Allingham House provided a caring, homely atmosphere where my mother's personal needs were attended to with dignity. Her medical condition was continuously monitored and doctors called for any concern. We were also informed of any action they had taken. The staff were cheerful and welcoming to relatives and the well being of their residents was obvious to be seen. All the staff are to be congratulated for their dedicated work.
