The home is situated on the outskirts of the village by Rendlesham Forest and comprises three self-contained communities in one location. There is a warm family atmosphere, with highly trained staff available to get to know residents individually and offer the highest standards of residential, nursing and dementia care on a permanent and short stay basis.

The home is ideally equipped to provide residential support for elderly people living with different types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia and Korsacoff’s syndrome.

A real highlight of the home is its ‘forget me not’ garden, specially designed to provide a safe and stimulating environment for elderly residents living with a form of dementia.

I am so happy that we have found this care home for my mum and dad. Everyone is kind and friendly, my parents have settled well and they enjoy the food and activities. Everything has been thought of for the resident's comfort and well-being. My mum likes her room and enjoys having her hair done. Milo,
the dog, is a big hit.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After Rendlesham Care Centre took my mum in, back in August she has improved tenfold. My father has been visiting her here on a daily basis. The home has been very helpful towards my father who also has dementia and is also keeping an eye on him for me. It has now come to the point where my dad needs
constant care. I feel totally reassured by the fact that my dad is coming here as the care I have witnessed is absolutely excellent.

This home provided loving, attentive care when my dad needed it most. It allowed us to re-establish the father/daughter relationship during his last weeks of life. Everybody throughout reception, manager and carers are very supportive of both resident and family.
The facilities are impeccably clean

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As my husband does not have the capacity to make decisions, it is vital that I have confidence in the quality and level of care provided for him - and I do. The first day for room visit and new manager, no difficult to give a comprehensive review. Rendlesham Care Center residential house and standard
of accommodation, decor and grounds need updating, however, full marks to all staff; they are professional, kind and supportive, caring for the whole family.

Rendlesham Care Centre is everything we could have asked for and more. Every member of staff cares deeply about their residents and often go above and beyond to make them feel safe and happy. We can tell that staff have taken the time to get to know Grandad and it has been a blessing to know that he
is being cared for by such a compassionate team, particularly during the pandemic when we were unable to visit regularly.

My parents have been residents (mum for 4 years and dad for 1 year). as a family we know we would not have had this extended time as a family. It is the dedicated staff that have extended my parents like through nursing, daily care, fun, laughter and total support. My father passed at the end of May
and the support, communication and empathy shown by all members of the team were exceptional. we are in awe at their dedication especially in trying circumstances.

I am so grateful to all the staff at Rendlesham Care Home. The carers have been so good with my husband and the lovely nurses have worked a miracle with his gangrenous foot, changing the bandages every day for at least 3 months. This has resulted in him getting better despite all the odds.

My aunt visited over the Christmas period and couldn't have asked for better care. The staff were friendly and kind and there was plenty to join in with if desired.
My aunt is hoping to visit again in the summer and is looking forward to her stay at Rendlesham - which says it all really!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a resident at Rendlesham Care Centre for 10 months. The staff immediately established an excellent relationship with both him and the family. We were well informed of his care and were able to visit at any time. As his condition deteriorated the staff very thoughtfully adapted to his needs
always respecting his dignity. They were professional and unceasingly patient, kind and compassionate. The steady presence of a cor of familiar staff provided reassurance and enabled him and us to establish an excellent rapport. Following his severe stroke he was always in fresh pyjamas, shaved, hair combed. The end of life care was superlative, gentle respectful and attentive to detail. I have huge respect and gratitude for the exemplary care given.

A lovely, bright modern care home located in beautiful countryside in Suffolk. The design and security of the home is good. The staff are always extremely friendly and helpful, polite and professional. The level of compassion and care shown to my father was excellent. Nothing was ever too much trouble.
I am pleased to recommend to others.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.554)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.554) out of 10 for Rendlesham Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.554 for Rendlesham Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.554
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rendlesham Care Centre is based on 12 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
