About Uvedale Hall Residential Home

Uvedale Hall Residential Home is in Ipswich, Suffolk, providing a settled home for older people who have reached the point where living alone has become difficult. We are deliberately straightforward about what we are. This is not a nursing home and not a hospital. It is a place to live, where the parts of the day that have become hard are taken care of and the rest is still yours. Staff are here through the night as well as the day to help with washing, dressing and medication. Meals are cooked on the premises. Laundry gets done. Doctors and district nurses come in when somebody needs them. For most older people that turns out to be exactly the right level of support. It removes the worry and the effort without removing the independence, which is the balance people are usually looking for and rarely offered. Beyond that, residents run their own days. When to get up, what to eat, whether to sit with company or on your own, who visits and how often, all stay with the person. Ipswich is on the doorstep and we help people get out into it. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Do come and see us.
