Our Vision

It is our intention to utilise some of this space to provide 147 self-contained apartments for assisted living.

Compassion & Dignity

Independence with Support

Community & Belonging

Excellence in Care

WESTERFIELD HOUSE

There are many benefits with this type of accommodation which would be unique to Suffolk. The idea is for an individual or couple to live independently in a fully secure specialist care complex. The residents would be able to access care at levels to suit their needs whilst maintaining their own independence. All apartments are planned to be fully accessible, safe and with emergency call facilities.

- Fully qualified care on site to suit individual requirements.


- Safe and secure with 24-hour cover for security, care, wellbeing checks and housekeeping.

- Community facilities to foster friendships and company.


- Communal activities on site including Cinema, Restaurant, Café and Library interfaith room. 

The Benefits

WESTERFIELD HOUSE

The Benefits don't end there!

  • Spa with saloon and mini gym on site
  • Pop up shops
  • Day centre for external community
  • Dedicated Taxi rank with an instant ambulance facilities on site
  • Flexibility in care and accommodation and encouraging independency
  • Organised trips and events. 

The benefits are many, not least, keeping couples together and fostering companionship to counter the loneliness experienced by a lot of elderly people. In addition, our research has indicated that many large under-utilised houses in the town would be released for family use. This is an innovative proposal which addresses fully the requirements of Central Government to meet the needs of the elderly population in the years to come.
