About Walfinch West

We are a home care agency covering Ipswich and west Suffolk, providing support to people in their own homes so they can carry on living where they want to be. Visits can be short and regular, or long and involved, or anything in between. What they have in common is that they are planned with the person and their family rather than handed down to them. We support older people, many of them living with dementia, and younger adults with a learning disability or autism, a mental health condition, a physical disability or a sensory impairment. Our carers help with washing and dressing, medication, meals, shopping, appointments and the household jobs that quietly become difficult, and they provide the company that so often turns out to matter most of all. We take punctuality and continuity seriously, because a care call that arrives at an unpredictable hour or brings an unfamiliar face is far less useful than one that does neither. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated the service Requires Improvement. We would rather tell you that ourselves than have you come across it later, and we are ready to talk openly about the findings with anyone weighing us up. If you are considering care at home in Ipswich or the surrounding villages, please get in touch and we will arrange to visit and talk it through properly.
