About Sunrise Nursing Home
We at Sunrise Nursing Home are proud to offer compassionate nursing and dementia care in the heart of Felixstowe, Suffolk. Our welcoming home provides a supportive environment for older people who need round the clock nursing support, offering families peace of mind that their loved ones are in caring hands. Situated within the coastal town of Felixstowe, our home benefits from the calm and restorative atmosphere that this part of the Suffolk coast is known for. The IP postcode area places us within easy reach of local amenities, making visits from family and friends straightforward, whilst the surrounding community offers the familiar rhythms of seaside life that many of our residents treasure. Our care specialisms reflect the varied needs of the people who choose to live with us. As a nursing home, we provide clinical care delivered by qualified nurses, supporting residents with complex health needs on a daily basis. Our dedicated dementia care means that residents living with memory loss or cognitive change are supported with patience, understanding, and routines designed to reduce anxiety and preserve dignity. We also support adults living with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments, adapting our approach so that every individual feels seen, heard, and respected. For families navigating a sudden change in circumstances, our respite care offers short term stays that can provide relief for family carers or a period of recovery following a hospital stay. This flexibility allows loved ones to experience our home before making longer term decisions, and gives family carers the reassurance of knowing that trusted support is available when they need a break. In practice, our approach means that every resident is treated as an individual with their own history, preferences, and hopes. Care plans are tailored to reflect who each person is, not just the conditions they live with. Families are welcomed as partners in care, kept informed, and encouraged to remain closely involved in the lives of their loved ones. Our most recent CQC inspection in May 2023 rated us as Requires Improvement overall. We want to be open with families about what this means. The Care Quality Commission recognised us as Good in three important areas: Effective, Caring, and Responsive. This reflects the warmth of our team, the personalised nature of the care we deliver, and our ability to respond to the changing needs of our residents. The areas identified for improvement were Safe and Well led, and we are committed to addressing these findings with focus and transparency. Continuous improvement is central to how we operate, and we welcome open conversations with families about the steps we are taking. If you are exploring nursing or dementia care in Felixstowe for someone you love, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we would be honoured to answer your questions, share more about daily life at our home, and help you feel confident about the next step. Please contact us to arrange a visit, and let us show you the care and community we offer.
