Overall service very good. Staff excellent very caring, nothing too much trouble for them. My husband was treated with dignity. He looked a little unkempt when I visited but was very clean. He appears very happy and contented when at Allonsfield House and is looking forward to his third respite visit
in a few weeks time. I sometimes think he is reluctant to return home as the routine at Allonsfield House and the fact it is a safe and friendly environment seems to suit him and stimulate him!!

I base my answers on what I see when visiting the home.
My main concern is the lack of activities that take place.
I would like to see more interaction with staff and clients.

As soon as you walk through the door you are met by friendly happy residents and staff. We were very happy with the care mother received. Mother especially enjoyed the special events/visitors i.e sing a longs music afternoons.

I came in today to do my Nan's hair. The staff around that I saw, were very welcoming, chatty and friendly towards me and my nan. After doing my nans hair we had a lovely cup of tea and I feel that my nan is very happy and content and it's a lovely place to be.

We (the family) moved mum to Ashefield (being the dementia unit of Allonsfield) following the appalling care received in another home.
What a difference - she was wonderfully cared for. Particular care was given to all pressure areas and general skin care. The care afforded to the whole family was
excellent. I was able to feel confident to leave mum in their care when I went on holiday for a month and had no issues at all on my return.
I visited my mother virtually every other day and feel confident in giving my opinion of care given.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.704) out of 10 for Allonsfield House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.704 for Allonsfield House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (250 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.704

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Allonsfield House Nursing Home is based on 26 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 53 registered maximum number of service users is 10.6, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Bishnu Lambichhane

Job Title: Home Manager

I started my career in the care industry and soon realised my passion was nursing. I have acquired considerable experience working for the NHS in various positions as well as in private care homes. Since joining Kingsley, I have progressed from Clinical Lead Nurse to Home Manager at Woodbridge, before moving to Allonsfield. I love the support you get from a family-run company and I am blessed with a great team. Outside work, I love reading and gardening and enjoy travel.


Madeline

Madeline Byer

Job Title: Deputy Manager

I have worked in healthcare since 2010, I started as a support worker and then completed my degree in Mental Health Nursing in 2016. I have worked in acute wards as well as nursing homes. Being an advocate for people with physical and mental health needs has always been a passion of mine and I have always been drawn back to working with the older generation. I believe in being honest, compassionate, kind and having good listening skills. I will always do my best to help anyone who is struggling. Being holistic and working with the Multi-Disciplinary Team is key when caring for residents and their families. I will always strive to empower my team to provide the best quality of care possible.


I love all things Disney so if I'm not at work I'm probably visiting Disney World. I have a good sense of humour and like to lead life and work with a positive attitude. A happy atmosphere is contagious and this is always my goal!

I have been working here at Allonsfield for two and a half years. However, I have worked in the care sector for 17 years in many different roles and I can honestly say Allonsfield is the loveliest place I have worked. The residents make me smile every day and I enjoy having a “natter” and listening to their own and family history. My family are very important to me and I spend most of my spare time with my nephew and nieces and I love being Aunty Vic. I also like to watch crime dramas and documentaries.
