About Glastonbury Court

Glastonbury Court is a nursing home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. We care for adults who need registered nursing alongside help with everyday life, including older people, people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and younger adults whose health needs call for a nurse on hand at any hour. Nursing cover around the clock is what allows us to support people with genuinely complex needs. It means managing medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and keeping a steady enough watch on health that a change is noticed early rather than becoming an emergency. Where somebody is approaching the end of their life, it means comfort and familiar faces rather than a move somewhere strange. The clinical side is only half of it. A nursing home can easily become somewhere everything is done to people and almost nothing is chosen by them, and we push against that. Residents decide when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who visits. For people with a physical disability, time is what matters most. Transfers, positioning and personal care take as long as they take, and rushing is where dignity and safety are both lost. Respite and short stays are available, including after hospital. Please ring us to arrange a visit to Glastonbury Court.
