About Kirkley Manor

Kirkley Manor is a nursing home in Lowestoft, Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs call for qualified nursing support, with registered nurses on duty. Our clinical work covers long term conditions, wound and pressure area care, nutrition and hydration, continence and medication, working closely with GPs, community nurses and hospital teams. We also support residents living with dementia, where a calm and familiar day does more good than a busy one, and residents with physical disabilities, where the right equipment, enough time and careful attention to what somebody can still do independently matter most. What we try never to lose is the person underneath the clinical need. Someone living here still chooses when to get up, what to eat, where to sit and who to see, and their care is discussed with them rather than about them. Families are welcome at whatever time suits, and we ask relatives to stay closely involved, because they hold a picture of somebody that we could not build on our own. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period and for families who need a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit us, meet the nursing and care teams, and see the home as it actually is.
