Montana Care Home is a residential and nursing home with strong values, allowing residents to choose their own way of life and personalised support.
They provide person centred care based on respect for human dignity and the personal development of each individual to promote a secure and loving family atmosphere and care for people, regardless of their age, gender, race, ethnic origin, nationality, colour, religious persuasion or belief, cultural or linguistic background, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability. They offer long-term care but can accommodate short-term care (including respite) when there is availability.
The Home is set in a traditional single-storey house, now extended to provide spacious accommodation in the very heart of rural Suffolk near the culturally historical town of Bury St Edmunds. They have accommodation for 19 people (16 rooms - 3 of them can be used as double rooms with en-suite facilities) and provide residential care of the very highest quality to older people (male and female) who are in need of care through frailty, disability or choice.
Friends and family visit at their convenience and are able to spend as much time with their relatives as they wish.

Funding & Fees
Weekly Charges per Person
Contact Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines to confirm what's included and get a personalised quote:
The Home charges the current rate of fees paid by the relevant placing social/ health services. For more details about fees and the methods for paying them, please see our separate Terms and Conditions of Residency (and Financial Agreement for Self-Funders).
Residents contributions to fees (or the full amount for some who self-fund) are usually collected by four weekly standing order. The fees are reviewed each year and usually change (subject to government guidance) each April.
OUR CURRENT FEE LEVELS ARE BETWEEN
£1400 -1500 PER PERSON PER WEEK
£ 1500-£ 1600 PER WEEK FOR A DOUBLE ROOM Single occupancy
Most people are eligible for financial assistance with their fees. This can be explained in detail by the relevant Social/ Health Services Department, but typically consists of a payment from Social Services
according to their assessments of their needs, with the remainder paid by you from your benefits or from your family
Other people have more than the “minimum level of savings” (set each year by the government) which leads to them having to pay the full care home fee (they become “self-funding”). For these people the NHS help by making a small contribution to fees.
Should your circumstances change, and you can no longer meet the full level of fees, Social Services will be contacted to assess your needs which usually culminates in them paying a finite amount, the outstanding balance being met by your family.
The price(s) shown are provided by the care home. Contact Montana Care Home Grace and Compassion Benedictines for full pricing details and T&Cs.

Mum moved into Montana in February following a stroke. We have been so impressed with the professional and compassionate treatment from all of the staff. Staff have gone above and beyond to ensure Mum's care needs are met undertaking additional training and liaising with family to ensure mum settles in well. The home is spotlessly clean and everything feels organised and well-managed. I am particularly impressed by how everyone has taken the time to get to know mum and to spend time just chatting to her which has really helped her with regaining her speech.
Thank you, Pauline. Your kind words mean a great deal. We will make sure your mum remains safe, comfortable, and cared for with the dignity she deserves. This work is more than a role for us it is our vocation.
Keep up the wonderful work Sr Thaya and staff. Thank you.

It has been my good fortune to know Sister Thayawathy and her staff, too. My husband and myself have known the home and all its staff since 2006. My mother-in-law and two very close friends. Even now, I visit my close friend; at the surgery, I am known as "for a close friend" sadly she has no family. Care and kindness to all those living there is at a high standard. Other points are that all residents see the health staff work on a continuous basis. Their nutritional care is also of a high standard, also spiritual weeks

As a close friend of a resident at Montana Care Home, I've had the opportunity to visit regularly and see firsthand the quality of care provided. What has impressed me most is the warm, welcoming atmosphere that greets you the moment you walk through the door. The staff consistently show genuine...
My friend has settled in remarkably well, and I've noticed positive changes in their confidence and overall wellbeing. The team encourages social interaction, meaningful activities, and a sense of community, which helps residents feel connected and supported. The home itself is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained, creating an environment that feels safe and homely rather than clinical.
Communication with friends and relatives is excellent,

They continue to support & encourage her independence and mobility where they can, even as she continues to grow weaker.
They encourage her to join group and resident activities, when she is often reluctant which she enjoys and talks about even if she hadn't wanted to participate initially.
We are kept updated about any health concerns and sent photos and videos of outings and events.
As guests/visitors we are always made to feel welcome, offered tea/coffee and opportunities to participate in planned activities.
A truly lovely, welcoming home from hom environment.

We are very pleased with the sisters'care of mum. The home is like a home and not an institution in any way. The sisters are cheerful, friendly, helpful and communicate well.Mum is quite difficult at times but they are consistently caring. All the meals are cooked for the residents. They are very...
The rooms are clean and pleasant, with a window onto attractive well-kept gardens.
The sisters are very watchful over health needs and mum is always visited by a Dr if there is any cause emerging. She has underlying health conditions but she has been kept in v good health.
There are groups that mum is encouraged to be part of in the week, and she regularly engages with chapel services.
Mum receives a daily newspaper & has tv in her room so although she is not very sociable, she has stimulation

My Mother was admitted to Montana in urgent circumstances. The Director and staff gave us great confidence that the process would be handled professionally, and indeed her move into the home was very smooth. Staff have been both efficient and caring, and they are understanding of her character and particular needs - and always kind. The outings in particular do my Mother the world of good as she needs variety and distraction.

After a fall at home and attend A & E at hospital for an x-ray, I was a resident in Montana Care Home on respite care. During my stay I was looked after well with exceptional care and attention. My individual needs were catered for and nothing was too much trouble for management and staff. I don't know how I would have coped without the help of Montana Care Home.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
