StarStarStarStarStar

Excellent care home. My mum with behaviour problems was very comfortable here. Was minor problem with carecstaff not always around and she fell breaking hip and pelvis on care notes not recorded. Apart from that the food is exceptional and entertainment amazing very good sense of self benefits and being out of area the care notes I could read daily 3 times was such a peace of mind for me. Mum having come from a terrible nursing home to this one changed from petrified to very happy and safe. You cannot thank staff enough for the peace of mind during such a difficult time of alzeihmers dementia.

My mum is a resident of Tenterden House nursing home which is sister home to Allington Court nursing home. We recently went on a wonderful barge trip with our mum organised by Allington Court nursing home which was fabulous. The entertainment staff have organised a really full prgramme of events for both homes including singers, visits from Cecil Horse sanctuary and regular church services and much more. A great deal of thought goes into the prgramme to make it varied and culturally appropriate. Thank you to Abi and Santina and all at Allington Court and Tenterden House. Thank you all.

My grandmother has been a resident at Allington Court since February this year. All the staff are extremely efficient, friendly, kind and helpful and it is very reassuring for us all to see how happy and well cared for she is. We cannot praise the staff enough for all their hard work and commitment during these incredibly challenging times. We have received regular FaceTime calls which have been very welcome during the lockdown period. I would highly recommend Allington Court to anyone looking for a high quality nursing home for their relative or loved one.
