About Wickham House

Wickham House is a nursing home near Woodbridge, Suffolk, caring for adults who need qualified nursing support alongside help with everyday living. Registered nurses are on duty at all hours, so clinical needs can be met here rather than through repeated journeys elsewhere. Most of the people who live with us are older and many are living with dementia. Around the nursing sits the ordinary business of a day, which is what residents actually judge us on. Unhurried mornings. Meals worth sitting down to. Company when it is wanted and quiet when it is not. Staff who know a person well enough to notice when they are not themselves. For people living with dementia, the constants carry most of the weight. Familiar faces, a predictable shape to the day, food and music from the right part of a life, and nobody rushing or correcting. Where somebody lives with a mental health condition, we work alongside community teams so that support stays consistent. Younger adults with nursing needs live here too. Respite stays are available, whether a family carer needs a planned break or somebody needs nursing support for a few weeks after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit.
