My husband was in respite care for 5 weeks in Allingham and we were very pleased and appreciative of the care he received there. I was undergoing a hip replacement so was unable to care for him. He has dementia and found it difficult to converse with the other residents but I believe the staff encouraged him and he took part in various activities thanks to their attention and encouragement. I think he also attended a Church service there on one occasion which he enjoyed. He was always well 'turned out' when we visited and walking down the corridor to his room or to the Dining room helped to keep him mobile as well as the exercises.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My mum came to Allingham in November and has settled so well. She is so well cared and looked after, the staff are so friendly, helpful and loving. Three staff members are brilliant with mum. Too many wonderful carers to mention. Pay rise deserved!

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.

Generally pleased with the standard of care from professionals and care workers and cleaners. There are some minor issues that are resolved quickly. My husband has settled well and appears happy and content. Good environment with a conservatory and a good garden.

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.

Since my mum has moved to Allingham House Care Centre she has been very happy and well looked after. She has made lots of new friends and enjoys getting involved in the weekly activities.

I have been visiting this residency for almost 9 years weekly except when there were no visitors due to covid. I've been greeted in a warm, welcoming manner by all members of staff, and whenever any concern regarding my mother I've been informed and kept updated. Thank you to all the staff for all their love, care and devotion.
