About White Gables Residential Care Home

White Gables Residential Care Home is in Felixstowe, Suffolk. We look after older people who need support with daily living, along with younger adults whose needs mean that managing at home is no longer realistic. Many of our residents are living with dementia, and a number have physical disabilities or sight and hearing loss. We shape the house and the day around that. Familiar surroundings, clear ways of finding your way about, good lighting and unhurried staff make far more difference than any amount of specialist equipment, although we use that too where it helps. We believe a care home should be somewhere people carry on living rather than somewhere they are looked after. Residents keep their own belongings, choose how they spend their time, see visitors when they like and eat food they actually enjoy. Families are welcome and their knowledge of the person is something we ask for rather than merely accept. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether for a planned break or for support while someone regains strength after illness. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding. We are proud of that, and we know it belongs to the team who earn it every day. Please come and see us. Visit at a time that suits you and ask whatever you need to ask.
