A home specially designed for dementia care
Our single-storey building is all on one floor and has a circular design with colour coded areas to help those living with dementia find their way around. Set in thirteen acres of tranquil gardens, it’s hard to believe we’re just off the M25.
Great places to socialise, enjoy an activity or have quiet time
Residents can always choose where to spend their time. Our two homely lounges are perfect for relaxing or welcoming loved ones, and we have a dedicated reminiscence area, and on-site hair salon.
Room for activities and celebrations
The activities room is where all residents can join in activities, whatever their capability. The activities room also used for hosting family events like birthdays.
Peaceful gardens and a secure courtyard
There is a range of outdoor spaces including the secure, tranquil courtyard with plenty of seating, and beautiful, extensive grounds that residents can explore with their loved ones.
Making dreams come true
We think it’s #NeverTooLate so wherever we can, we help residents to achieve something from their ‘bucket list’.
There’s no typical day at Allington Court, we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about.
Share stories with other generations
School visits are the highlight of the week for many residents, who get to spend time socialising with the children.
Themed days for special occasions
Anytime there is a special occasion the home is happy to create a special themed day to celebrate it.
Keep fit and healthy with gentle armchair exercises
From the comfort of their armchair, residents can still maintain a healthy level of fitness.
“People who lived at Allington Court Care Home received care from a staff team who were all caring about delivering an individual based service. Staff knew each person well. People's views were respected, and they were involved in everything that happened in the service."
“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.”
Sister of Resident, 13 July 2023, carehome.co.uk
"A lovely care home, entertainment is fantastic. Recently a local singer was singing - a great entertainer and involves all the residents and our dad loves him, he was singing away, clapping and enjoying every minute of it. All the staff are so caring, and we are so pleased dad and our aunt are residents at Allington Court."
Daughter of Resident, 27 June 23, carehome.co.uk
My mother’s dementia advanced relatively quickly. This care home welcomed her in and has helped and supported her in every way. All staff seem attentive and helpful and as a discerning son, I’m more than happy that my mum is being looked after at Allington Court.
