Yes. Our West Suffolk branch is in the town centre at 9 Guildhall Street, Bury St Edmunds, IP33 1PR. Having the office in Bury means the team that plans your care is close by, and you can call them directly on 01284 336136.

Yes. West Suffolk Hospital on Hardwick Lane is only a short drive from our office. If your relative is on a ward there, let us know the expected discharge date and we will arrange visits or a live-in carer so they have support from the moment they get home. In many cases care can start within 24 hours.

As well as the town itself, including Moreton Hall, our carers support people in Great Barton, Great Whelnetham, Thurston, Risby, Barrow, Ixworth and nearby villages. Many of these are rural, so we plan visit times carefully. If you are unsure whether we reach your village, call the West Suffolk team and we will check.

Yes. A carer can go with your relative to the Abbey Gardens, the Cornhill and Buttermarket, the market or the Arc shopping centre, as well as GP and hospital appointments. Getting out regularly helps people stay active and keeps them connected to the places and friends they know.

Suffolk County Council is responsible for adult social care in Bury St Edmunds. It can assess your relative’s care needs and finances to decide whether it will contribute towards the cost. If you are funding care yourself, you can arrange it with us directly, and we are happy to explain how private care and council support can fit together.

Yes. We support people at all stages of dementia, helping with personal care, meals, medication prompts and a steady daily routine. We try to keep the same carers visiting so your relative becomes familiar with them, and live-in dementia care is available when someone needs support throughout the day and night.

Yes. Live-in care can work especially well in rural villages, where travelling between several daily visits is harder. A carer lives in your relative’s home, providing companionship and help with daily tasks, so they can stay in the community they know rather than moving into a care home.

Call our Bury St Edmunds office on 01284 336136 or send an enquiry. We will arrange a free consultation, talk through your relative’s needs and routines, recommend visiting or live-in care, then match them with a carer and agree a start date that suits you.
