RESIDENTS at Allingham House Care Home inTimperley are celebrating after it performed strongly in a nationwide survey of care home residents.

The results show Allingham House Care Home was given an overall performance rating (OPR) score of 894 out of 1,000.

Now in its fourth year, the Your Care Rating survey is the country’s largest and most authoritative survey of care home residents. The nationwide survey gives residents a voice, putting their care at the heart of understanding more about how well care homes perform. Over 20,000 residents in 963 care homes across the UK took part.

Each care home was given an overall score based on resident feedback across four broad themes; staff and care, home comforts, choice and having a say, and quality of life.

Allingham House Care Home achieved scores of 904 for staff & care and 947 for quality of life.

Gulzar Nazir, care manager at Allingham House, on Stockdean Close, Deansgate Lane, said: “It’s great that our residents value the care they receive at Allingham House.

"Most of our scores across the four themes are really positive, which shows that life for our residents is happy and fulfilling. While we’re really pleased with our scores, we obviously want to get even better and the survey helps us do that by giving us direct resident feedback.

"Families can also see at a glance which care homes are committed to raising standards and being transparent as they take part in the survey. Every care home resident should be able to speak up about their care and this is what the Your Care Rating survey does – it gives them a voice.”

Allingham House became part of Maria Mallaband Care Group, one of the UK's leading care home providers, in 2015.

All of this year’s results for every care home surveyed are displayed on the Your Care Rating website (www.yourcarerating.org).
