Lottie's guide to care in Ipswich

  • Overview

Welcome to Ipswich

Ipswich is a popular place to receive elderly care, with its warm community feel, open spaces like Christchurch Park, and excellent access to healthcare via Ipswich Hospital and a range of local GP practices. At Lottie, we help families navigate the next step by matching them with care homes that provide not only high-quality support but also peace of mind.

These homes offer calming settings for older adults, with a wide range of care types for different needs. Whether you're seeking a comfortable and affordable home or a more luxurious setting like Alice Grange with private dining rooms, salons, cinema rooms, beauty salons, and beautifully kept gardens, there are options to suit every family. Many care homes in Ipswich provide residential, dementia, and nursing care, as well as respite stays for short-term support, with Avocet Court offering all of these.

Several homes can accommodate couples who wish to remain living together in care, while others provide regular care updates, digital tools for family contact, and optional extras like freshly cooked à la carte dining and wellbeing programmes tailored to residents’ interests. Each of the homes listed through our platform is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and carefully reviewed by our in-house Care Experts. You’ll also find respected providers such as Bupa and Kingsley Healthcare in the area.

We know how emotional and difficult the search for care can be. That’s why we’re here to offer more than just information – we provide reassurance, empathy, and guidance at every step.
