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.

Asterbury Place - This home has an ‘Outstanding’ CQC rating, which is the highest a home can get. Carers were particularly commended for the speed at which they respond to changing care needs. Expert residential, nursing and dementia care are all provided here on a permanent or short-term respite basis. There’s also specialist physical disability care tailored to individual needs.
Avocet Court - Just south of the town centre, Avocet Court is surrounded by tranquil gardens - the perfect place to kick back and relax during summer.
