Overall Experience
Laxfield House eased the last few days of her life with care and dignity. She passed away gently without pain. We were able to assist this procedure and give her as much support as possible. We cannot speak more highly of the care.

My mother has been a resident in Laxfield House for almost 2 years after a lengthy stay in hospital resulting in her needing continued nursing care. She is extremely happy there and we can't praise the Management/nursing staff and carers highly enough. She is not able to attend to her personal care herself but is always clean and tidy. From what we have seen of the meals they are always of a high standard and the residents choose from a varied menu. The corridors and communal areas always look very clean and tidy whilst maintaining a relaxed homely feel. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and family and visitors are always made to feel very welcome. The large conservatory overlooking beautiful gardens is my mother's favourite place to spend her day in a comfortable reclining chair.
We highly recommend Laxfield House to anyone looking for a caring and safe environment for their elderly relative.

I cannot rate the people highly enough.
Laxfield House is a very smart building with fantastic surrounding gardens that are kept very neat and tidy. The setting is very tranquil in the village of Brent Eleigh. The interior of the house is also very neat and tidy, the en-suite bedrooms are all of a good size and the conservatory is exceptional with great views over the well-kept garden. The house is kept at a nice temperature throughout the day and night, and the windows let in bags of light.

At this traumatic time for my close family, we couldn’t wish for a better place for my father to be in and cared for and we will be forever in the debt of the people who make Laxfield House the superb nursing home that it is.
