About Marham House Care Home

Marham House Care Home is a residential care home in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. We provide residential care for older people and for younger adults, including specialist support for people living with dementia, and we offer respite care for planned short stays. Moving into a care home is rarely an easy decision, and we try to make the practical side of it as calm as we can. Before someone arrives we spend time with them and with the people who know them well, because the details matter: how they take their tea, whether they are early risers, what they used to do for a living, who they want to hear from. Those things go into the way we support them rather than sitting in a file. Day to day, residents decide how they spend their time. Some enjoy the company of the communal rooms and whatever is going on; others prefer their own room and their own routine, and both are perfectly reasonable. Meals are proper meals, and we take note of what people actually like to eat. Dementia care runs through the whole home rather than being kept apart from it. We keep the environment familiar, we do not rush people, and we work with families to understand what settles someone and what unsettles them. We welcome visitors and we would far rather families felt at home here than treated as guests. If you would like to look round, please contact us and we will arrange it.
