Maynell House is ideally located in a delightful residential part of Old Felixstowe, just a short distance from the town centre and all its shops and amenities. Maynell House has a beautifully landscaped 2 acre garden, filled with mature trees and carefully tended lawns offering a variety of interesting surroundings and places to rest. There are many short walks in the vicinity and the sea and cliffs are nearby.
This late Victorian building was formerly the Felixstowe College, and has been sympathetically refurbished to retain original wooden panelled features, creating a superb home with a real difference. Maynell House has inviting lounges where residents can relax or socialise. Bedrooms have en-suite facilities, television and telephone access. All rooms are fully furnished, however, residents are encouraged to bring items of furniture and personal possessions with them so that their room can be a true 'home from home'.
Maynell House provides a high standard of residential care.
Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills, but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. Staff are available constantly to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.
Residents are assessed on a regular basis to ensure their needs are fully met. Appointments can be made with a visiting optician, dentist, and chiropodist. Maynell House has an in-house hairdressing salon that provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages. Catering staff provide delicious meals and snacks throughout the day, special diets can of course be catered for.

Although she was only there for a short time, it was the best move we could have made as she was looked after so well from day one.
She was kept clean and safe, stimulated with various activities and entertainment, and even had days out in the home minibus.
All staff and management were caring and professional at all times.
It is a great consolation to know she spent her last few months in such a lovely place.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so sorry that we only got to know your mother-in-law for such a short time, she was a lovely lady, and it was our pleasure to care for her.
Thank you to all the staff and management.

During COVID, everyone did their utmost to keep communication open, keep us up to date with Mum's health and emotional needs. They were firm but fair about COVID restrictions and to adjust to 'normal'.
Thank you Garrie for your lovely review of our home and the staff, I will pass your comments on to the staff.
My aunt is beru happy at Maynell House. The best thing, she says, is the people. She says they can't do enough for her. She enjoys trips out and the garden. The staff have been patient and thoughtful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your lovely review, as the manager, I feel incredibly proud when my team receives such lovely comments.
We are very happy with the care and attention given to the resident, particularly in these difficult COVID pandemic times when the staff have been most helpful and considerate at all times.

During this past year, especially with Covid restrictions, the staff have kept me informed about Mum and her health and enabled me to visit her in accordance with Government/local authority guiding. I acknowledge how difficult this has been and throughout the staff have been excellent, always chatty, friendly, smiling etc even though they have themselves been at risk.
Thank you for your kind and positive comments, the staff and management thank you for your support.

Mum entered Maynell during lockdown and sadly became very ill. The staff were very caring and supportive to Mum. Always friendly and helpful when I visited. Maynell has a good range of activities for the residents and the garden is just beautiful. We were welcomed into the home to visit Mum in her last days. Her charming room was clean and tidy. The staff were very hard-working, kind, and compassionate. We are all very grateful to the fabulous staff at Maynell for looking after our Mum.

My mum was very unwell and the compassion all the staff had was excellent. The care is outstanding and I know I can call on any of the wonderful staff for help and advice, at any time. The care and welfare of the residents is always first on the staffs' list of priorities. My mum has been here a long time and I would not want her to be anywhere else. All the staff have become friends, not just carers.
My mum is in this care home and is very happy there. She is very well taken care of which is very reassuring for my sister and I. Peace of mind is a great thing and we have that with Mum there. When we arrive at the home to see Mum, the staff are always very happy and helpful. I would recommend...

All the staff are good and friendly. The resident I visit sometimes gets frustrated when she asks something of the staff and they don't get back to her. She is very understanding that the staff are busy but feels that they don't communicate to the right person. The resident has poor eyesight and...
It would be good practise for whoever is entering her room to say their name but overall, the care from the staff is good.

When my father has hospital appointments and NHS transport is unavailable the care home ensures other transport as he is wheelchair bound and has very poor eyesight. Invites to events eg., summer fete, Christmas part etc. Nice gardens outside space. Residents have trips out in the minibus, sometimes go out for a meal. Very happy with the care and support and always made welcome.
The staff are all very helpful and caring.

I’m proud to lead a team that creates a warm, safe and welcoming home. Our staff are local, we work closely together and always go the extra mile for our residents. I’m passionate about supporting people to live their best lives — listening to their individual needs and giving them choice in what they do and how they live each day. I’ve worked in care for many years, hold my Level 5 in Adult Residential Care and Registered Manager’s Award, and I’m currently studying towards my Level 7.

“I decided to work at Healthcare Homes as I had been working in domiciliary care locally and wished to continue in care, without the travelling. I applied for a care assistant role at Maynell House and due to my previous experience in admin, I’d been offered the admin post at both Foxgrove and Maynell! My favourite part of working in a residential home is working with so many different people, residents, family members, staff, and healthcare professionals. Every day is different and that’s my favourite part.”
