About Kentford Manor

Kentford Manor is a nursing home near Newmarket in Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays for those who need nursing care for a short period. Our registered nurses are on duty so that people whose health needs are complicated or likely to change can stay with us rather than being moved on. We manage medication, wounds, continence, nutrition and pain, we monitor carefully for early signs of deterioration, and we work jointly with GPs, community teams and hospital colleagues so that problems are dealt with promptly. What matters just as much is the texture of an ordinary day. Residents keep their own routines as far as their health allows, they have their own things around them, and our staff take the time to learn about the life somebody led before they needed nursing care. Where sight or hearing loss makes the world harder to follow, we adapt how we communicate and make sure people are not left out of what is going on around them. For residents living with dementia we keep routines steady and pair staff with people consistently. Families are welcome at any reasonable time, and we involve them properly in decisions as a relative's health changes rather than presenting them with conclusions already reached. If you are considering nursing care in this part of Suffolk, please arrange a visit and ask us whatever you need to ask.
