At The Beeches Residential Home, they specialise in all aspects of dementia care.
Situated in the picturesque village of Ixworth, near Bury St Edmunds, this Grade ll listed home supports a small community of 44 residents. The priority is in delivering care that maintains the dignity and individuality of each person, providing both physical and mental stimulation aimed specifically at those living with dementia.
Facilities have been tastefully adapted to provide easy access for those with lower mobility, providing suitable wheelchair access along with a lift to all floors. All rooms have top of the range facilities to make sure residents are comfortable, including TV points, en-suite facilities and comfortable furnishings.

From tropical fish and birds to pygmy goats, there are plenty of creatures for residents to enjoy.
Visits from family and friends to the care home are also heartily encouraged. Visitors can spend time with residents in beautiful gardens or in the comfortable lounge area.
Whilst providing high-quality care is at the heart of what they do, it’s the personal and considerate delivery that makes them special.

My mother has been a resident for nearly four years. She has always been treated with respect. The standard of care is extremely high. I would not hesitate - and indeed have - in recommending the home to people who are seeking a care home for their loved ones.

I am very pleased with the standard of care that my father has received since he became a resident at The Beeches care home last year. The level of attention and concern shown by the staff have been exceptional and I am very grateful for the level of comfort this has provided to both my father and the rest of the family.
Great staff who are always attentive to the needs of the residents. Building is being improved and is now to a good standard, given the age of the majority of the property.

We have used The Beeches twice now for our elderly parents who have now passed on. On both occasions, the care has been second to none, courteous and friendly nothing is too much trouble the residents are made to feel it is their home.

I am so impressed with The Beeches for the care of my father. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. I am always delighted with the very high standards of cleanliness and how well cared for my father is. He is happily settled, with a complicated illness, so to see him like this is wonderful....
We searched in different areas all around the country (my brother looked in Birmingham and friends in London) but nothing compared to this. On the most recent visit where my brother was able to come, he could not believe all that he saw at The Beeches - an absolute home from home for our father. We could not recommend this home highly enough, very efficient and incredibly reassuring.

The only thing I have a problem with is the male residents. They seem to have problems with things like keeping their clothes on for example which is distressing for many elderly ladies and their family and friends.
Exceptional care.

Mum has been in the Beeches for over two years now. She seems quite content although she is not always sure where she is. I am more than satisfied with the care she is receiving and cannot praise the staff highly enough.

My mother has been at The Beeches for nearly 10 years. She is very special to me and has been all my life so when the time came for a care home to be found it had to be a special home to look after a special person and The Beeches certainly is. They treat mum with dignity, always having time for her, talking to her and treating her as an individual. Even though mum has no idea regarding her surroundings she reacts to the voices of the staff. When I visit they will often let me know little things about mum because they have made an effort to get to know her well. The management and staff also respect ideas and thoughts that we as relatives have. Every time I visit mum I thank my lucky stars we found The Beeches.
Staff are very kind and caring, show dignity. I feel I can have a joke with the staff have a good rapport with most.
