My husband has been happy & feels at home. He likes his room & he says the staff are friendly. He receives good care & they are doing the best they can to make him comfortable. We appreciate all the help he receives. As a visitor I always feel welcome. The only observation would be to improve cleanliness by changing bed clothes more often as well as cleaning the room. Thank you.

My father is very settled due to a good routine. He enjoys various activities which are excellently planned. A good choice of excellent quality food and snacks. My father enjoys the tea and cake at 3pm and cooked breakfasts in the morning! All staff are approachable, friendly, very helpful. The gardens are enjoyable to sit, walk with sun & shade as lots of trees!

My jsuband first ame to the care home after spending six weeks in hospital for one month's respite care after which he seemed settled and content and luckily he was able to continue to stay there on a permanent basis. I have found all the staff to be dedicated and caring and interested in my husband as a person and what his likes and dislikes are and they respect his dignity. Happily he has regained his appetite which is a reflection on the excellent meals, cakes and snacks offered.

A very pleasant environment, the staff work well together to ensure the comfort and wellbeing of residents. All requests are dealt with exceptionally. Visitors made to feel comfortable & welcome. All rooms have access to the outside. The grounds are well kept with pathways suitable for wheelchairs and walkers giving access to seating areas. Altogether a calm & happy environment.

Again another praise for Allington Court. For the time and effort they spent putting together everything for the Christmas party for residents and families. Everyone joined in and all the staff went out of their way to make it special, the food was amazing and everyone had a lovely time. Again thank you for all your time and effort and making it special as always.

Excellent care home, all staff are helpful, friendly and look after our dad so well, we can not praise the staff enough, the events team do a brilliant job of keeping the residents entertained and housekeeping does an excellent job of keeping the home and laundry clean. The food is fantastic and the reception has a lovely smiley receptionist to greet you, thank you to all of you.

It's a very hard decision to put your parent into a home, but it was one we had to make. The staff at Allington Court Care Home could not have been nicer and did their very best looking after my dad. They kept us up to date with his progress and how he was doing and were always very helpful.

The staff went out of their way to make our wedding anniversary special. We really feel part of a family at Allington Court and I am grateful for the care and love shown to my wife.

After our mother passed away our dad was not able to cope alone. Spending time living with us became impossible as we all worked. I was worried about the prospect of our dad going into residential care. I need not have. My sister found Allington Court, close to where we live and we loved it right away. It is clean, bright and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Dad moved in as a full-time resident and settled so quickly. We can visit all the time and Dad enjoys the activities and the company. The staff are a delight and treat all residents with dignity, kindness and respect. I like to follow their daily lives on social media. Highly recommended.

On entry to Allington Court Care Home we were greeted by a nurse who took us to see our friend who is having palliative care. I was so impressed with how comfortable clean and peaceful she was. The staff we met along the way were so pleasant and helpful. I was so relieved to know my friend would end her days in such a caring environment. The home is spotlessly clean and tidy.

The care home provide excellent care for my mum. I have been really impressed with the range of activities that are provided for the residents. They are certainly not left to sleep all day! The staff have gone out of their way to make Mum feel at home, often adapting routines so she can fit in. I have found the staff to be welcoming when I visit and always respectful and kind to the residents. Allington Court has looked after Mum extremely well.

My 91-year-old father was a resident at Allington Court for three weeks before he passed away on 17th Feb, having been placed there for an assessment following four weeks in hospital after a fall. The care he received during his time at Allington Court was brilliant. The whole team couldn't do enough for him, as well as my sister and I who spent many hours there. Unlike when he was in hospital, we felt confident that he was in good hands when we left him each evening at Allington Court. Right from the start, the team showed a genuine interest in him and were keen to find out how they could make his stay as comfortable as possible - nothing was too much trouble in meeting his, and our, needs. A big thank you to everyone who supported us so well and allowed us to concentrate on him for the last few weeks of his life.

A particular review about a Christmas party. An excellent afternoon and it looked as if the residents all enjoyed it in different ways. Very lively, the young carers came in this year, lots of food, singing and entertainment etc. All done to a very high and enjoyable standard. The rest of my wife's care at Allington Court Care Home continues at the same high level that's always maintained there.

Allington Court Care Home epitomises all that's good and proper in care homes, it has that comfortable feeling of well-being, and serious feelings between carers and residents. A happy place although everyone knows age and health can be unpleasant issues at times. The motto should be we care as everyone projects that wonderful feeling, keep smiling everybody.

The recent coffee afternoon was thoroughly enjoyed by residents and their families, as well as raising money for a great charity. The entertainer was very good, and we all enthusiastically sang along with him. The cakes, as usual, were yummy. Bye-bye diet! A huge thank you to the wonderful staff who make Allington Court such a happy place for residents to live in and for families to visit.

On 6th September my dad was 90 so we celebrated his birthday in the beautiful gardens as a lovely sunny day with all his family there. We had a buffet provided and the chef decorated the cake with chocolate frogs on to match his froggy hat, how lovely was that. Then indoors with the residents for a sing a long with the entertainer who was fantastic and lots of laughter. Thank you so much everyone for making Dad's special day.

I visted my step mum today for the first time. I was very impressed with the home, the cleanliness and decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My step mum seemed very happy and she said everyone was very kind to her and she enjoys staying there. I've worked in care for over 30 years and Allington Court Care Home has to be one of the best. Thank you.

My sister is a long-term resident at Allington Court. Since she moved in she has become calm and contended. I visit her at irregular intervals and always find her clean and appropriately dressed and looking forward to her next meal. Though these are pleasant gardens to stroll in I am finding it difficult to persuade her to come outside. However, as the home offers a circuit of corridors around a certain garden she obtains some exercise walking to the sitting rooms or dining room.
