An apple a day may keep the doctor away but keeping the mind, body and soul active is a great recipe for longer living and happiness! Allenbrook tailors a broad range of activities to achieve many objectives. The importance for some is maintaining strength, flexibility and finding balance; for others, it is stimulation, interaction and finding enjoyment in what they do.

“Laughter is good for the soul – it uplifts the mind, body and spirit…”

Respite Care

Respite and Day Care for individuals living in their own home is one of the most important services that is provided at Allenbrook Fordingbridge. Carers or family members often need a break to recharge their batteries from the demands of providing 24-hour care.

Most respite clients use the Home regularly for short stays. This allows the staff at Allenbrook to get to know them well and understand exactly what is required from their stay. In some cases, this is simply to rest and enjoy the surroundings, in others, it is the opportunity to join in with the programme of activities and treat the stay as a holiday

Homefare

The meal delivery service Homefare, provides a hot meal and dessert fresh from the Allenbrook kitchen seven days a week (including Christmas and Bank Holidays) to residents of Fordingbridge, Alderholt and Sandlehealth. The menus are carefully planned to provide a balanced and interesting diet.

Allenbrook operates a four weekly rotating menu to ensure that a wide variety of meals are available.

Testimonials

Just a short note to thank all the staff who helped look after our mum whilst she was in your care. We really appreciated everything you did for. We feel lucky that mum was placed in care at the best Nursing Home we know of!

I am writing to express my deep gratitude for the care you gave my mother during her time with you. As a retired (and old-fashioned!) nurse, I have been so impressed with your nursing of her.

Allenbrook was highly recommended to us by others we spoke to including the GP. Our introductory visit with the Manager was detailed and thorough, relaxed and friendly and there was plenty of time to ask questions
