Rated Outstanding by the CQC (November 2022), Brandon Park is a nursing and residential care home set within Brandon Country Park in Suffolk, with woodland and parkland giving residents open space and natural light rarely found this close to a town centre.

Residents in the Redwood and Cedar suites look out over the parkland, and the enclosed garden offers safe, accessible outdoor space year round.

As his family is all based overseas it has been very hard for us to be away from him at this time, and knowing he is in such safe hands is a real comfort. I cannot overstate the quality of the care and the warm, supportive nature of the whole team. We visited in July and have been so impressed and grateful to see him in this environment as such a hard time. I could not recommend Brandon Park more highly.
Thank you for your kind words and recommendation. We're honoured to care for your uncle and are so pleased we could provide comfort and reassurance to your family during such a difficult time. Our team will truly appreciate your feedback.

My wife has P S P which I know is hard to deal with but as soon as we stepped foot in the nursing home we felt a sense of professionalism. All the staff seemed happy and approachable and they soon had us settled in. The grounds and buildings are very pleasant and parking and access easy. I am thinking of extending the booked respite as I am pleased with the start of my wife's stay. Please keep up this fine work.

The ambience of the home was of warmth and pleasantness, my visitors remarked on this. The help with the bath was excellent, and a treat as a usual constant shower room user. The shower room pump had a few hiccups, but was promptly being reviewed, the room itself was very good and spacious.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased you had a comfortable and positive respite stay at Brandon Park, and that our team helped make your experience so enjoyable. It's great to hear the small issue was addressed promptly, and your kind words will be shared with the team.

The home administrator at Brandon Park organised a fantastic trip to the pantomime. I was able to sit with Dad on the bus which accommodated his wheelchair. This trip allowed him to get out of a social event and also to see the countryside on the way up. He very much enjoyed the trip out and is looking forward to future trips to the seaside etc.
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear your dad enjoyed the trip and look forward to organising more outings in the future.

Carol works closely with the Home Manager to oversee daily life at the home, making sure residents receive the right level of care and support at every stage of their stay.
A large part of the role involves working alongside the care team, keeping standards consistent and stepping in to lead when needed. Building strong relationships with residents and their families is just as important, whether that's through regular updates, answering questions or being available when something needs addressing quickly.
Carol also plays a key role in show rounds, helping prospective families understand what life at the home looks like and how the team supports residents day to day. Taking the time to talk through any concerns helps families feel more confident about their decision.
With a hands-on approach and a genuine interest in the wellbeing of residents, Carol is a familiar and reassuring presence around the home.
