About Risby Park Nursing Home

Risby Park is a nursing home near Bury St Edmunds. We care for older people and younger adults whose needs include nursing, including many living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Respite stays are part of what we do. Because nursing is provided here, nobody reaches a point of being too unwell to stay. That stability is worth more than it sounds, particularly to families who have already been through one difficult move. We work at keeping the place domestic rather than clinical. Nursing is part of a day here and not the character of the house, and once ward habits take hold residents stop being asked about their own afternoons. So mealtimes, fresh air, unhurried help and privacy are protected on purpose. For residents living with dementia we hold the routine still and learn the life behind the person, because that is what lets staff respond to somebody rather than manage them. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are pleased with it and wary of what it can imply, since a rating covers a period rather than a promise. What keeps it true is the ordinary daily attention that earned it.
