Compare Care Homes In Ipswich

Ipswich has so much to offer care-seekers, so Lottie can help simplify your search for the right care home. Above is our pick of the area’s best homes, including those rated ‘Outstanding’ and ‘Good’ (the highest two tiers) and those with luxurious, state-of-the-art facilities.

Our care-seekers love homes with gardens and other outdoor spaces to enjoy the sunshine when it comes! You might also like to filter for homes with family rooms or activity rooms where you can enjoy family visits, or even homes with spas and meditation areas if mindfulness is a priority. Silver Birch has all these features and more, catering to a whole range of lifestyles and interests.

You’ll never be far from essential NHS services; Ipswich Hospital is just outside of the town centre and has a dedicated elderly care unit. What’s more, Age UK Suffolk provides lots of information and clubs for older people, so there’s a fantastic community of support.

Look out for care homes with activity coordinators who ensure residents’ calendars are full and social. There’s plenty to get out and see in Ipswich, like the Waterfront, which has a flat, wheelchair-accessible marina with lots of restaurants and lovely views, or the New Wolsey Theatre for some culture with a discount for older adults.
