About Manor Farm Care Home

Manor Farm is a residential care home in Lowestoft, Suffolk. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for families who need a planned break. Our aims are unambitious on paper and hard in practice: good food, warmth, prompt help, real privacy, and days shaped by residents rather than rotas. A person's history is practical information here, not sentiment. It tells us what will comfort somebody, what will irritate them, and what they will still respond to. For residents living with dementia we protect the routine and keep the surroundings familiar, and we ask families for the history that lets us understand what somebody means rather than only what they said. Laundry, glasses, hearing aids and dentures matter more than they sound. Losing them is a common and quietly serious failure in care homes. We think about how the place sounds and smells, because both tell a visitor and a resident a great deal about how it is being run. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Come and see how the place sounds, because that tells you a surprising amount.
