Review from Michael K (Son of Resident) published on 5 May 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother is a resident (since 28 January 2022). I doubt any care home is perfect as they have an extremely challenging job. At Risby Park I have thus far found the staff to be kind and helpful. Risby Park tries to provide a homely rather than institutional environment. The building may be a little tired now, but that is more than off set by the welcoming and caring staff, many of whom seem to have genuine warmth towards my mother.

Review from Tamara Katrina R (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother was admitted to Risby Park from West Suffolk Hospital. She was very ill and not doing well and this was especially hard for me as I live overseas. The love and care my mother received during her short stay there were exceptional. The staff are friendly, caring, considerate, and very accommodating. I could not have wished for a better place for my mother to spend her last days.
I highly recommend Risby Park.
Note: My mother could not participate in any activities.
