About North Court Care Home

North Court Care Home is a nursing home in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk. We care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs mean that qualified nurses should be on hand throughout the day and night. Many of our residents live with dementia, often alongside physical illness or reduced mobility. Caring for both at once is skilled work. It means noticing pain that somebody can no longer describe, keeping the surroundings calm and familiar, and adjusting how we communicate as needs change rather than carrying on as before. Care is planned with residents and their families. Meals, sleep, privacy, company and the ordinary shape of the day sit in the plan alongside medication and observations. We work closely with GPs, community nurses, therapists and hospital teams so that treatment is prompt and unnecessary moves are avoided. Respite stays are available for families needing a break and for people requiring nursing support for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say so plainly than leave you to discover it. We know which areas were found wanting, we have an improvement plan and we are working through it with the team. Ask us about it when you visit and we will answer straight. Please come and see the home and judge it on what you find.
