About Peppercorn House

We are Peppercorn House, and we provide care and support to adults in their own homes in Ipswich and across Suffolk. Our visits range from a single short call each day through to several hours of support, arranged to fit the person's routine rather than our rota. We help older people with washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping and the household jobs that become harder with time. We support adults living with dementia, where familiar faces arriving at predictable times achieve more than any amount of technique. We also support people living with mental ill health, where a routine that holds and a dependable presence can matter as much as any clinical input, people with physical disabilities, taking care over equipment and how somebody prefers to be assisted, and people living with sight or hearing loss. Some of those we support are younger adults working towards greater independence. Suffolk has a lot of villages in it, so we plan our rounds around geography as well as need, and if we are delayed we ring rather than leaving somebody watching the window. Everything starts with a visit and a proper conversation at home, and the plan is written with the person and reviewed honestly. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch.
