In the six weeks, Mother has been here, the care and support have been excellent. I have seen a lot of improvement in Mum, but she will always need 24-hour care. After the 6-weeks respite and assessment, we are hoping that she will be able to stay at the home.

My elderly independent father has lived alone for 22-years since the unexpected passing of his wife and my mother. Following a series and falls and the breakage of a collarbone, he has needed professional care and support to maximise recovery prospects. Fortunately, he is now in the comfortable environment of Silversprings. The first-class care team recognise daily needs, and my father sees response and genuine enthusiasm. All uplifting for him. Changes in health and mobility are challenging and often difficult to keep the right balance of care and the involvement of helpful and thoughtful people makes such a difference. My father positively remains encouraged by those around him.

A terminally ill dear friend of mine came to Silversprings after a three weeks stay in the hospital, where I was disappointed with the level of care she was receiving. I advised the manager of my concerns, and every step was taken to ensure her stay was as comfortable and happy as it could be. Every single member of staff from the cleaning, maintenance workers, receptionist, carers and management team guided both myself and my friend through the process. My friend was able to have a good quality of life, enjoying lunches with friends, participating in quizzes and carol concerts in addition to being humoured by the staff. After my friends passing on 22/12, all staff were incredibly supportive, and I will never ever be able to thank all of them enough.
Well informed when we were looking for a care home. Allowed to look around. Both my daughter and I have been very pleased with the help we have received. My husband appears to have settled well, and I must say, the carers are all very helpful. All in all, a very good start.

Review period after one week Mum in isolations. I cannot speak highly enough of the friendly and professional welcome and subsequent care. Everybody from before admission to daily caring activities has been first class, i.e. management, administration, reception, and especially levels of care staff who are consistently very friendly, focused, took time to understand Mum (and me) resulting in a marked improvement in Mum already. The Covid practices are thorough/well-practised to safeguard all.
I came for respite for two weeks, then needed two more weeks to help me after needing more help to look after my husband. I felt the care and all the staff were amazing, so I, along with my husband, have decided to stay at Silversprings. We look forward to this new chapter in our lives.

Enjoy being looked after and taken very good care of.
My wife and myself will be staying at Silversprings to be looked after by the lovely care people and management.

My husband spent only about a week in Silversprings whilst we waited for a care package to be put in place after three weeks in hospital where he was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. The home is beautifully set in lovely gardens, and the rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are well trained, kind, compassionate and efficient, and I was very satisfied with the care they gave my husband.
My late husband was looked after and cared for in a very caring and friendly way. He was always happy when the family visited him. He was always clean and well looked after; I would recommend the home to anyone.

I cannot thank and praise the staff enough. The care, friendship and love my mum received was outstanding.
Nothing was too much trouble, for example, the special lunch my sister and I shared with our mum will never be forgotten.
The nursing care was excellent; the way all the staff talked to and about my mum was as if she was part of their own family, and they went to great lengths to make her as happy and comfortable as possible.
The quality of life at Silversprings is thoughtful, individual and first-rate.
I cannot praise the team enough.

Our mother was here for respite care, and she settled very quickly. The staff were very good, kind and attentive. They looked after her very well. Mum enjoyed the food and was always clean and tidy. One observation would be to keep the person's clothes with the correct person. We noticed that she had somebody else's clothes on at times. We were very pleased with her care and all of the staff.
We’re grateful for your feedback and are delighted with the positive comments and scores for the care and support we provide at Silversprings.

Mum was transferred to Silversprings out of hospital for palliative care. The team did a great job for the short time she was there and kept me in the loop with information and updates.
When I visited, they seemed to be taking good care of Mum, and the nurses I spoke to were very compassionate.

The staff at Silversprings went above and beyond while caring for my mum. They were kind, thoughtful, compassionate and loving to my mum and us, her visitors. I would highly recommend Silversprings if you are looking for a home for your loved one(s).

I can't recommend Silversprings Care Home highly enough. We were very lucky that they had a vacancy when our friend needed to have residential care. They were extremely helpful in making all the arrangements for him to move into the home. The staff have always been most courteous and always...
in a big circle. Much more like home. I would give it top marks.
The home is clean and tidy.
Lots of activities going on and day trips out.
Very well looked after.
Any questions you need answering, they are there to do so.
Couldn’t have put Mum in a better place.
She looks so cared for - hair done at hairdressers.

So happy that Mum appears to have settled in well. Lovely to see her happy in photos on a day trip to the garden centre and beach. I can relax knowing she is in safe hands.

Have spent two weeks here and been well cared for in every respect. The staff are very caring and very patient with all the patients; it's lovely to see them. I shall be quite happy to recommend Silversprings to friends.

My nan called this home her palace. She was treated like the Queen by staff and says the food couldn't be faulted. Nan was at the home for 6 week respite care before returning to her own home. I have no doubt if she requires a care home in the future Silversprings will be our first point of call....
My nan called this home her palace. She was treated like the Queen by staff and says the food couldn't be faulted. Nan was at the home for 6 week respite care before returning to her own home. I have no doubt if she requires a care home in the future Silversprings will be our first point of call. The rooms and the grounds are beautiful and tranquil full of wildlife. Her experience even during Covid could not be faulted. Thank you for caring for her so well!

I first qualified as a nurse back in 1987 and completed further training in 1992. I then worked in both health and social care, working with adults with learning disabilities, and mental health needs, and also as a manager of two other care homes in Suffolk. I joined Silversprings in 2020 after seeing from the Care UK website how beautiful the home is.
I believe it’s important for the home manager to be approachable, caring, and open with both their team, the families, and also and most importantly the residents that live in the home.
My favourite part of my job is knowing that no one day is the same. I love spending time with the residents and also seeing how the staff engage with them, hearing their stories from their youth and their words of wisdom to the younger generation.
Outside of work spending time with my family is my big love, I have three grown-up children, and a beautiful granddaughter who stays regularly. I also enjoy walking my Labrador, Max, in the countryside around my home. A glass of rosé wine is my favourite tipple after a long day.
