After a rapid deterioration in my mum's health, we were delighted when we found Allingham House and were offered a place. It is a daunting task to find a place for a loved one where they will be cared for in the way you would care for them yourself.
My mum was made to feel welcome as soon as she entered
the reception area. From that minute I felt her care and comfort were assured and this has proved to be the case.
Whenever I visit my mum looks happy and contented. She has even made friends. Before arriving she spent a lot of time on her own.
The activities - music, cognitive exercises, etc. and the social sessions in the conservatory are exceptional.
Staff, care, medical assistance, hygiene and food are exemplary.
It feels like one big happy family. I know my mum is safe and happy.
Thank you all at Allingham House.

Welcoming inclusive atmosphere. De-escalation when some residents show challenging behaviour is done very well, shows staff well recruited and trained. Staff stay in post, so continuity of care. Obvious the staff respect residents and their families and they see it as the resident's home, not their
workplace. Communication and care needs of residents well met as continuity of care vital to wellbeing.

My mum moved to Allingham in August 2017 and stayed for 2 and a half weeks before she passed away at the beginning of September. During this difficult time, all the staff treated mum with care, dignity and comparison. They helped us to settle him in and deal with her illness. The food, cleanliness and
facilities were all first class. As my first experience of a nursing home, I could not have been happier. Thank you to all the staff.

My mother was an Allington House resident for a short time, but in that time we realised what a great care home this is. Wonderful staff, very caring and attentive. From the manager to the cleaning team.
Super clean, excellent meals and food. Great activities team and weekly entertainment. All the
residents look happy and interact well. The facilities are very good and well maintained. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you to all at Allington House.

Care at home was increasingly complicated for my father who has Vascular Dementia. He agreed to give Allingham House a trial period and settled in quickly and very well. All staff are excellent, very friendly, caring and well-organised.
The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed.

I visit often and the staff are always pleasant and willing to assist residents in an appropriate and compassionate manner. It can be challenging work but staff always seem happy to be there. General home appearance and residents rooms excellent and always a pleasant smell.
One of the better care homes,
well organised and managed. It does come at a price. I hope the local authority feels able to pick up the fees when the money runs out. Always a worry.

The care my husband received was unbelievable.
Allingham House - the standard of cleanliness was very very good (no horrible smell of urine).
The clothes are all clean and looked after.
The carers themselves are delightful, polite and give their all to my husband sometimes, under difficult circumstances.
My
husband was in Allingham for a year and I could not fault anything during his time there.
He received the most brilliant care and love and I could have asked for.

My mother received the best of care at Allingham House until her recent death. She had been a resident for 3 1/2 years and it truly was her home surrounded by people who looked after her with dignity, care, professionalism and friendship. There are too many people I would like to thank for making by
mum's final years enjoyable, sociable and fun.

Allingham is a well-run home. The staff, without exception, are all wonderful. They are all very caring and sensitive to each individual's needs. The facilities at Allingham are good, with regular new introductions. For me, the great atmosphere created at the home is down to the activities staff. They
create fresh activities and trips out for residents. I know my Mum benefits a lot from their hard work.

The carers have been so attentive, caring, sensitive understanding and empathetic. My father is devastated by the loss of his wife of 67 years; the staff at the home could not have been more kind. My father is sometimes in denial, the staff handle him with the skill of leading psychologists. I have
words of praise, I cannot fault them.

My mother left the hospital, considered by doctors to be at "end of life" and transferred to Allingham House Care Centre. Within a few weeks, she was able to sit in a wheelchair, feed herself and interact fully with residents and carers. I put this huge improvement in my mother's condition entirely
down to the management and staff at Allingham House. If she had stayed in the hospital I have no doubt that she would no longer be with us.

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.
