This is the latest available inspection report for this service, carried out on 16th October 2009. It is an annual review prepared by CQC after examining previous reports and information from the provider. At the time of this report, CQC judged the service to be Good. As with hotels, the cost of living in a care home varies widely according to its location, the size of your room or suite, and the facilities on offer. There is often a substantial difference between fees charged to those who can afford the costs themselves and those who receive help from their Local Authority. A majority of homes aim to cater for both, but some target only one or the other.
The inspector made no statutory requirements on the home as a result of this inspection and there were no outstanding actions from the previous inspection report. Aldringham Court is located in a beautiful setting near Aldeburgh, home of Benjamin Britten and the famous Aldeburgh Music Festival. The home is only two miles from the wonderful Suffolk Heritage Coast where residents regularly go for outings. Ratings are provided by Care Quality Commission and reflects the most recent report for this care home, which was published on 7 July 2017. Our Housing Directory aims to include all housing schemes /developments in the UK that are intended for older people.

Staff respected people’s privacy and dignity and interacted with them in a caring, compassionate and professional manner. They were knowledgeable about people’s choices, views and preferences. Some care homes are registered to provide personal care only, for example help with washing, dressing and giving medication.
Others also provide nursing, and will have a nurse on duty twenty-four hours a day. They inspect care services to ensure they are supporting peoples wellbeing; appropriately setup; properly planning out care; are well led; and effectively staffed, each criteria is given a grade out of 6. To enable us to assess people’s wellbeing we spoke with five people who used the service and one person’s relatives. We also spent time sitting with people, observing the care they received and the level of staff interaction. Smyth House Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for 18 older people, some living with dementia.

Just be aware that we do not provide housing or care services ourselves, so we cannot accept applications for housing and do not have any control over the services listed on our site. We have recently been able to open EAC Advice, a new 'housing options' advice service for older people. Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold. We tracked the care records of four people who used the service which showed that people experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights. We saw that the service had taken precautions to protect people from the risk of infection infection and that staff had received training in infection control and food hygiene.
People told us and we observed positive and trusting relationships between staff and people living in the service. – there are some services which we can’t rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon. – the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service. The locality type is rural town and fringe in a sparse setting.

We frame our offer around ‘home’ because we understand its importance for everyone.
But also because planning ahead may be needed to ensure that where you live now is ‘age proofed’, and that if you wish to consider moving, you have good information and advice to help you understand all your options. With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. A care home is a residential setting where a number of older people live, usually in single rooms or hotel-style suites, because they need regular or continuous access to care. Most retirement developments offer either properties for sale or for rent, but newer ones may offer both tenure options, and possibly shared ownership too. Buying a ‘home for life plan’, or ‘lifetime lease’, gives you the right to live in a property until you die or move to a care home.
People were provided with group activities such as bingo, skittles and entertainers who came into the home. However, further opportunities for additional activities could be developed in future improvement plans following feedback received from people living in the service. We have made a recommendation about meaningful activity for older people. Individual care records were in the process of being updated to reflect people’s individual needs and preferences. People were encouraged to maintain relationships that mattered to them such as family, community and other social links. They were supported to pursue their hobbies and to participate in activities of their choice.
Regular assessments had been carried out and care records were in place which reflected individual needs and preferences. At our last inspection 2 and 3 March 2016 we rated the service as overall requires improvement. At this inspection we found that previous shortfalls had been addressed, improvements were ongoing to ensure people consistently received safe, effective, compassionate and high quality care.
