Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 25 good, 8 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Kingsley Care Homes Limited, Allonsfield House is a nursing home in Woodbridge, Suffolk with 53 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and younger adults.
In March 2025, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its previous rating, in September 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. That is more recent than most ratings in Suffolk, where the typical rating is about 4 years old. 8 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “workforce wellbeing and enablement”.
91 other homes in Suffolk share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2026. That is true of 92% of homes in Suffolk. About 8.6 km away, Mills Meadow is rated Outstanding. It is one of 8 homes run by Kingsley Care Homes Limited. 6 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
