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.

I am happy with the care my father receives at Allingham House. The majority of staff are very caring and respectful and understand the needs of a person suffering from dementia. His bedroom is cleaned thoroughly as are the community rooms. His clothes are laundered well and he is kept clean and fresh.
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.

My friend has only recently moved into Allingham House. Consequently, I do not have extensive experience of all the facilities. However, my first impressions are that the staff are very caring and treat all the patients with dignity and respect.
There are a lot of activities at different levels. Suitable
to the range of residents.
The residence is very clean and homely.

My dad received excellent care for the last months of his life at Allingham House. He was treated with the utmost respect and dignity and also was not just given care but was cared about by all the staff. They went the extra mile to give him nourishing food, to find activities he would enjoy.
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.

All staff including management down to the kitchen staff showed excellent care for service user and relatives. I was able to spend time with

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.

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.

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.

My Mother has been gripped by a very aggressive form of vascular dementia that has seen her reduced from an active, mobile (driving!), independent living, intelligent, articulate, sociable woman to a physical and mental 'husk' in less than 2 years.
She has been in two previous 'care homes' in the past
14 months - neither of whom were capable of providing for Mothers Primary Care Needs (despite their initial assurances when they were 'selling' their facilities to us!)
Fortunately, we were able to identify Allingham House as an EMI Nursing Care facility and they have been providing residential care for Mother for the past 4 months.
From the very first day, the care, attention and dignity provided by the staff and management at Allingham has been 1st class. Mother is less 'tormented' and the family are less distressed as her condition is now being 'managed appropriately'.
From reception to cleaners to caterers and even maintenance crew - the staff all take an interest in the residents - which is great.

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.
