Catchpole Court Care Home
Welcome to Catchpole Court Care Home
Found in the beautiful market town of Sudbury in Suffolk, Catchpole Court is a caring haven for those with dementia or nursing needs. With many bedrooms overlooking the pretty secure gardens, it is a calming place where residents can feel at ease.
We want those who come to live here to make it their home and we encourage everyone to fill their rooms with the special things that bring them pleasure. We will even change the décor of individual bedrooms to help residents settle in.
The home has two areas: the Gainsborough Unit for those whose needs are related to dementia and the Constable Unit for residents who require more general nursing care, although patients with dementia may be cared for here too. Day and night, highly trained staff including mental health and general nurses take great personal pride in helping those who come to live here.
Catchpole Court does not have en-suites or posh furniture, but it clearly concentrates on what is the really important thing, and that is excellent care. There is a registered nurse there at all times that keeps tabs on each resident’s health on a day to day basis. All the staff seem very capable and committed, and interact well with the residents, so they contribute much more than just the physical care. Each resident is treated very much as an individual, with their likes/dislikes, interests, hobbies, etc taken on board. The food is ‘home cooked’ every day, it is good quality and nutritious, there is a good variety, and residents have a choice. This feels as much like a home as it could do for my dad, not an institution. There is a dedicated organiser of social events and activities. The home arranges outside care such as hairdressing and chiropody without the need for relatives’ involvement (except to pay the extra small charges). The rooms are nicely decorated, very clean and with adequate furniture and a basin, and they have a nice big window. The home does not smell! I believe that if you asked any resident, they would say they are happy there. I so appreciate the fact that the rest of my dad’s family can live our lives in the knowledge that he is being well cared for. Before he went there, I did not realise that such good homes existed. I am sure that my dad feels well cared for, valued and respected as a person, and safe. This really is an excellent care home for residents with dementia and/or with limited mobility and/or medical conditions. There are also some residents that do not appear to fit into those categories and who seem to be very happy. Please note that what I have said relates to Constable Unit, as I have no experience of Gainsborough Unit.
My husband Mr Reg Cuthill has been at Catchpole care home since 2009. He has been treated with dignity and much care. The staff are wonderful; from the manager down. Food is very good. I would recommend this care home if asked.
Some days food is good depending on choice, would rather not have spices in my food.
Jill is extremely happy with all aspects of the home.
Joyce is happy living at Catchpole Court she has a nice room which her family looks after. Her bed has all her own linen on supplied by the family.
Sylvie seems happy with the home overall.
Joan appears happy and content with the care she receives within the care home. She likes it that her son can visit anytime day or night.
Catchpole Court offers a very good service, my father has been here 6 years and has been well cared for at all times. The staff are very friendly and attentive doing all they can at all times for little remuneration, I am regularly updated on my fathers health and well being and enjoy my visits to the home. The activities are well catered for and much more. The home is regularly decorated and kept very clean and the gardens are a pleasure with a sensory garden for the residents. All in all I would highly recommend this home.
Cathcpole Court provides top quality care throughout their service to residents who can be extremely difficult to manage. All aspect of the care home provide a welcoming, caring and cheerful service from laundry and kitchen to nursing and management. I can find no fault with the care given and the kind attention of all the staff.
I have only been here for a day or two now, but I like the social side of the lounge, and the carers and staff are very nice.

“It is also heartening to see the very positive comments by residents and their relatives and to know the team is so well appreciated.”
Inspectors have said that people were happy living in the home. One resident said: “A nice community and the carers are very good. A visitor said: “The carers are so friendly. They treat everyone as a person.”
The home has achieved a customer satisfaction rating of around 98% in the feedback from residents, their relatives and visiting health care professionals.
A spokesman said: “The inspectors saw there was sufficient staff on duty to meet people’s needs in a timely way.
“The inspectors said there was a choice of meals to suit people’s dietary requirements and individual preferences, with refreshments offered throughout the day.”
That wasn’t the end of the good news either, as local MP James Cartlidge, personally wrote to the home commending them of their success.
His letter read: “I am writing to congratulate Catchpole Court Care Home on having being rated as ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission.
“I was pleased to hear about the great work done by Catchpole Court Care Home in the local paper and I would like to commend you on your process of increasing the range of activities for residents. I wish you all the best with your dedicated work, it is a great contribution to the local community.”
