About Hartismere Place

Hartismere Place is a residential care home in Eye, in Suffolk. We support older people who need help with daily living, including those living with dementia, those living with mental health conditions and those whose physical disability means they need help to move safely. We also support some younger adults. Our care is the practical, daily kind: assistance to wash and dress, medication given properly, meals cooked here, help to get about, and staff available through the night. What we try hardest to get right is the manner of it. Being helped to dress is an intimate business and it should feel unhurried and ordinary, not clinical. For residents living with dementia we keep the shape of the day familiar and the staff around them consistent, and we ask families to tell us the things that are not in any referral: the work somebody did, the music they like, the subjects that will always get a response. Respite stays are available, whether to give a family carer a break or to support someone recovering after illness. Eye is a quiet part of Suffolk and the house suits that. Families are welcome to visit and look round. Please ring and we will arrange a time.
