About Cornwallis Court

Cornwallis Court is a nursing home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays. With registered nurses on the team, we can care for people whose health needs are complex, and we can usually go on caring for somebody as those needs increase. Families often arrive at our door exhausted by uncertainty, and knowing that the moving can stop is a considerable relief. We try to keep the home unhurried. People wake in their own time, eat what they enjoy and spend the day as they wish. Rooms belong to the residents and we treat them accordingly. For people living with dementia, our team works from knowledge of the person, their history and their habits, and we keep the surroundings calm and familiar. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of it and we are also realistic about it. A rating describes a period of time, while care has to be got right on every shift, including the quiet ones at three in the morning. If you are looking at nursing care in Suffolk, you are welcome to visit and see the home on an ordinary day.
