About Abbeygate Manor

Abbeygate Manor is a nursing home near Bury St Edmunds, caring for people across Suffolk who need qualified nursing alongside support with daily life. Our residents include older people, people living with dementia, adults living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities or sensory loss, and younger adults. We offer respite stays as well. Registered nurses are here at every hour of the day and night. In practical terms that means medicines, wounds, continence, pressure care and the early signs of infection are handled on the premises by staff who know the resident, rather than through a long wait and an unsettling journey to hospital. For anyone living with dementia, staying put is frequently the kindest clinical decision available. We also pay attention to whether a day is worth having and not only whether it is safe. A resident can be thoroughly well nursed and thoroughly bored, and we regard that as our failing rather than an inevitable feature of nursing care. Visitors are welcome at ordinary hours and at unusual ones when circumstances call for it. Respite care is available after illness or surgery, and for family carers who need a genuine rest rather than a token one. We do not currently hold an overall rating from the Care Quality Commission. We would encourage you to visit at a normal time, speak to residents and relatives, and put the awkward questions to us directly.
