About Estherene House

Estherene House is a residential care home in Lowestoft, Suffolk. Those living here include older people, many living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss. Respite stays are part of what we do. Our attention goes on ordinary comfort and on the parts of the day nobody inspects. Whether the food is worth finishing. How long a bell takes to answer at two in the morning. Whether anybody notices you have gone quiet for a couple of days. Where a resident communicates differently, whether through sight, hearing or anything else, we settle that properly at the start and everybody uses the same approach. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to leave that out and hope it passes unnoticed. We accept the findings, we are working through them, and we will not claim in a paragraph that everything is resolved. Please come unannounced, talk to residents and relatives away from staff, and press us on what has changed since the inspection and what has not yet.
