About
A Class Care Ipswich is a home care agency based in Ipswich, Suffolk, providing care and support in people's own homes. It was set up by two founders who had struggled to find suitable care for their own parents, and it offers an alternative that lets older people stay in familiar surroundings while receiving personal care. The agency provides 24-hour live-in homecare and night care, with dementia as its main care focus. It supports older people, younger adults, and people with physical disabilities, mental health needs, sensory impairment, learning disabilities or eating disorders. All carers undergo full DBS screening and a thorough training programme, and are trained to provide personal care with dignity while acting as companions. The agency is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, with Good ratings for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
