About Hamlet Abbey

We are Hamlet Abbey, a home care agency in Ipswich, Suffolk. We support people in their own homes across the town and the surrounding area, working with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people managing a mental health condition, and those with a physical disability or a visual or hearing impairment. Our starting point is the life someone already has rather than the list of tasks we could provide. What does a normal day look like, what has become difficult, what does the person want to keep doing for themselves. Those answers shape the visits. They also change over time, so we review support rather than assuming that a package agreed months ago still fits. Continuity of carers is something we hold onto. For someone with dementia, a familiar face is the difference between a calm visit and a distressing one. For someone with a sensory impairment, a carer who already knows how to communicate saves everyone a great deal of effort. We build rotas with that in mind. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and have not yet received an overall rating. We are glad to explain our approach to anyone considering support for themselves or a relative.
