We cannot praise the Britten Court Care Home highly enough for their kindness and dedication in caring for my dad. From the moment we walked through the door, we were welcomed by a warm, friendly and caring atmosphere. All the staff are compassionate and professional and always treated my dad and all other residents with dignity, respect and kindness. All the staff go above and beyond to ensure residents feel safe, comfortable, valued and well looked after. The facilities are excellent and allow residents to enjoy a variety of activities and entertainment, including excursions using the care home minibus. The care home has a lovely, homely atmosphere, making everyone feel comfortable, supported and truly at home. I would wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a caring, supportive and welcoming environment for their loved one. It is reassuring to know that residents are being treated with such exceptionally high standards of care.

My sister has been at Britten Court for several months now. She has a diagnosis of vascular dementia at the young age of 71. We, her family, are really pleased that she has been fortunate enough to be placed at B.C by the council. Having spent the best part of two days with her at BC, I am able to confirm that she has an excellent relationship with all the care staff and they are indeed, very caring. BC is clean and safe and the food excellent. All my queries were readily addressed and the staff could not have been more accomodating. Well done team!
It is all first class.

The management team also have an open "door" policy for both the residents and relatives that adds to that reassurance and peace of mind that the best care is achieved.
As I mentioned the building/rooms are of a high standard ,giving it the feeling of a home from home but with a hotel quality, as is the professional catering with many choices of excellent menus all produced on-site. A super touch is the coffee shop where you can meet together and even have a meal together. Laundry and maintenance teams add to provide an excellent overall standard. I'm happy to highly recommend the Brtten Court team.

My mum has been in Britten Court for several years now and throughout her stay the care has gone above and beyond my expectations. The staff are alway so friendly and helpful and are never phased by my mums changing care needs and do it with a smile.

On visiting all staff could update me on mum's day. They are very patient with mum. Her food intake has increased and the biggest thing is mum being hoisted into a chair and Ive been able to take her into the garden (she hadn't been out of bed for over a year)
The managment are fully involved and nothing is too much trouble.
Warm, friendly, professional, clean & tidy.

Overall very pleased with care received but care is sometimes patchy - due to being short staff I suspect. Would prefer Mum to be out of bed more - recently was not helped to a chair for six consecutive days. Although not able to take part in many activities she likes to watch others and see outside. Sometimes feel she is forgotten about because she is not demanding but happy and compliant.

I originally began working for Care UK when it took over the running of various homes operated by Suffolk County Council. The organisation truly puts residents at the heart of everything, which I completely support. It’s also very supportive as an employer – as a manager I have a great support network to help me do my job to the highest standards.
I enjoy mornings the most at Britten Court: many residents are up and about and I can spend time with them, having a chat and finding out how they plan to spend their day. I’m privileged to work with some wonderful residents and families, including some people we’ve been supporting for a long time because they transferred from the old Council-run homes as I did!
Outside of work, I have a very busy home life. I’ve three children and eight grandchildren who I love spending time with.
