My dad was in this home from 2022 until his passing June 2024. The care he received wasn't good at all. We felt like he was just another number that needed sorting out with his daily chores i.e. changing, feeding etc. No compassion for my dad as a human being. Thank god as a family we could go to see
him most days but felt very sad for the residents that didn't have many family visits. I could go on and on with the treatment my dad had here in this place but it only starts to upset me when I have to think about it and what he should never have gone through.

I can't recommend Allingham House enough. Although similarly to most care homes staff were overstretched, they were just wonderful with my dad and did their best under the circumstances. The staff took time to understand my Dad's individual needs and provided personalised care. My dad had a high need
for social interaction and several members of staff spent time chatting with him and helped him to call me from his mobile when he was struggling. The staff took time to help my dad continue doing what was important to him despite his deteriorating due to his illness: they helped him play the piano and go on the adapted exercise bike each day to maintain his fitness. They even took him to a different home to join in with a carol service so he could have a change of scenery and more social contact. They went to such an effort to get him to eat when his appetite failed offering different foods, considering the best portion sizes and patiently encouraging him without being forceful.

My cousin is pretty helpless and bedridden yet she is cared for with great kindness, conscientiousness and with real interest in the lively lady my cousin once was. The care staff, from the home manager down, are cheerful, friendly and welcoming. This is much appreciated as we have to travel some 90
miles to see my cousin.

We are so pleased that you are happy with the care we provide at Allingham House, we always strive to deliver the best care and we are very grateful that you recognise this. We will share the positive comments with the rest of the staff.

My husband could not talk or walk. 10th May seen bruising to his right eye, 12th May emailed the photos to the manager in Leeds. 13th May Home Manager and Regional Director both unhappy I sent photos to Leeds, both said they could not see bruising, Regional Manager asked if I wanted to move my husband
to another care home. My reply to her, my husband is not the problem, they had investigated the outcome, he had bruising to his eye and they think he did it to himself with a soft toy Elephant Babies. My review for staff doesn't reflect all staff, some excellent, some good and poor.

Reply from Katrina, Regional Director at Allingham House Care Centre

Thank you for your comment, just to clarify that this incident was investigated and addressed at the time, it was also reported to safeguarding and closed down. I apologise if you are unhappy with the outcome of this incident, although you were given the opportunity to challenge the outcome at the time, which you declined to do. However, we will pass on any positive comments to the staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother was recently discharged from hospital and eventually became a resident at Allingham. Several of the staff formed particularly positive relationships with my mother and she appeared to really enjoy those interactions. Getting her to smile and have a joke meant a lot to us during this time.
On top of this there were other examples of responsiveness to my mum's specific interests and needs, such as watching a certain programme on catch-up, and helping her get out in the garden safely on sunny days. I was really glad my mother benefited from such a caring environment.

Reply from Katrina, Regional Director at Allingham House Care Centre

I can not thank the whole team at Allingham House Care Centre enough. For over twelve months, they cared for my partner with professionalism, kindness, respect and dignity. They recognised and responded to his changing care needs and cared for/supported me when his end of life neared. The staff create
a positive, welcoming and happy environment and residents are treated like a big family in a clean and well-presented environment.

I have been visiting my friend at this home for the past few months, I have always found the staff very friendly and welcoming. The home is always very clean (no smells).
Even though my friend suffers from dementia the staff are always very respectful to her, they seem to know every client by their
Christian name. The staff are so patient even in some very awkward situations.

A very clean, if a little sterile, modern nursing and care home. As always the individual care varies with different staff members but is generally at a very high standard. Seem well motivated and there are obvious signs of of continuous training. only occasional use of agency staff. Communication between
staff is occasionally poor.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.490)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.490) 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 4.2 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 8 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 4.225 for Allingham House Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.225

  • 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 4.265 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Allingham House Care Centre is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.465

  • 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.
