Chrissian House was established in 1974 and is registered to care for 22 elderly residents. The name was formed from the previous owners two sons ‘Chris and Ian’. Converted from two detached houses, it stands in its own extensive grounds, with the garden area surrounded by flowers and mature trees.
In 1990 the home was extended via converting a detached house next to the main building (annexe). Both houses have their own kitchen, dining area and lounge with a conservatory where residents can participate in daytime activities such as table games and puzzles. The home offers a happy, warm, friendly family atmosphere and environment.
Chrissian Residential Home Ltd has been built and furnished to a high standard. The home is situated on one of the main roads leading to the eastern side of the town in a residential suburb. Local buses run every 20 minutes to the town centre, with hairdressers, a Spar shop and fruit and vegetable stores as well as many others in the vicinity of the home.
A Church Service is held at the home. All other denominations are encouraged to visit the home. If you require assistance to maintain contact with your desired faith/religious service, please discuss this with the manager. Holy Communion is held in the home the first Monday of the month.
Chrissian House provides residential care for both genders of any age.
The home's aim is to give the resident the opportunity to live as members of a local community in ways which are accepted as normal and valued, allowing for full use of a range of local facilities, for example: - shops, cafes and sports centres. Hopefully in time the residents will also become part of their local community. All staff recognise and promote residents' rights, privacy, dignity, care and respect.
There is CCTV in place for communal areas - this is for the safety of staff, service users and visitors, and they have a CCTV and SARS policy in place.

My mother passed away in April of this year after her health deteriorated with the onset of dementia. My mum looked at Chrissian Residential Home as her home and she regarded the other residents and staff as family. I can't speak highly enough of the management and staff, they are a credit to their profession.

Thank you for your review Michael - I will ensure all the staff and management are made aware of your kind words, they are very much appreciated. Mum is greatly missed. Hope you and your family do visit/have a coffee whenever you are nearby. Thank you again.

My dad was in Chrissian for 5 months. I noted the poor standard of care in terms of low-quality food (supermarket budget pies, etc) being confined to his room (because of lack of staff) and most worryingly his ‘unmet care needs’ according to Social Services. When challenging the inadequacy of the overall care, rather than seeking to address the justified concerns, they acted both confrontationally and defensively. On a number of occasions, I would arrange to visit him and travel for an hour, only to be turned away as he had not been brought down to the conservatory. I asked if I could see him in his room but was always refused.
In addition, the home fails the sniff test (wee) and is shabby.

Thank you for your review, I would like to highlight that your previous complaints have all been unsubstantiated via Social Services but also Safeguarding etc. As a home our priority is the well-being of our service users, therefore we have not and will not force anyone to see any family members they decline to. We apologise you did not get to see your father after travelling but he has the right to refuse. We apologise we served notice to terminate your father's placement due to extreme care needs, and we apologise we declined your request for admission of your mother a few months after your father's placement began with us. You are related (or there about) to 2 staff members (we trust this is why you gave the staff 2 stars instead of 1).
Our Service users' quality assurance and visitor quality assurance are available to anyone who wishes to see a true reflection of our home, its smell and our food etc not to mention the numerous reviews here. Thank you.

My Uncle has been at Chrissian Residential Home for some time now. Originally he had a room upstairs, but now he is totally bedridden and has a shared room downstairs. He can be a difficult character if he is not in the right state of mind and all the carers at Chrissian are very good with him. As I live 350 miles away I cannot visit too often, but the home always keeps me informed and since Covid I have been able to visit in safety.

My father was a resident at Chrissian Residential Home for a number of months until his illness progressed to the extent where nursing care was needed. During his time at Chrissian he had enjoyed being looked after by the staff and they had coped admirably with his care needs. He had liked the food and even gained a few pounds. He also enjoyed the activities which the home provided. I found the staff, both office and care staff, to be friendly, happy and very caring and also approachable and well organised.
The home itself is a little shabby and some of the rooms on the small side but that is totally acceptable making it more homely and not like a hotel. The home is very clean and works very well in line with the Covid restrictions, providing LFT testing equipment.

Thank you for your comments and feedback. I would like to remind you as per our conversation on the day in hand that your uncle has the choice to go to his bedroom, our office, the conservatory or any other private area of the home if he wished to do so. Your uncle refused and wanted to stay where he was which is his own right/choice. You asked us to remove all our other service users from the communal lounge, which was firmly declined. We have already purchased/provided brand new wingback arm chairs to both lounges and bedrooms (less then 6 months ago), Covid visiting restrictions would not have let you see this as yet.
Regarding value for money - I would like to point out we are known for our costings - we are one of the lowest, if not the lowest charging care home across Suffolk, yet our feedback/reputation with care professionals, etc. is held with a very, very high regard.

My mum will have been in the home for the last 5 years in April. She suffers with Dementia and ongoing illness. All the staff and managers treat her with kindness, respect and dignity at all times. When myself or family members go we are treated with the same as my mum at all times. I have regular contact over the phone with the home to give me updates on my mum due the lockdown - Covid situation. I could not ask for better care than what my mum is receiving at this time. I consider that she is well looked after at all times and could not ask for more.

My mother entered the home in September 2020 during the Covid pandemic. Despite the difficult circumstances she was made to feel very welcome and settled in quickly. Although relatives have not been able to visit residents inside the home during this period because of the pandemic, the team at Chrissian Residential Home have done all they can to ensure residents can see and keep in contact with their loved ones. I look forward to having proper visits in the coming months.

Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
