About
Glebe House Retirement Home is a 20-bed residential care home in Woodbridge, Suffolk, for people aged 65 and over who need help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication, cooking and getting around.

Rooms are carpeted and centrally heated, and each has an en-suite with a choice of bath or shower. Residents can join activities at the home and coastal walks, and a bowls club is a short walk away. Local village facilities include a shop, a post office and a pub.
The Care Quality Commission rates Glebe House Good overall. Its key-question ratings are Requires Improvement for Safe, and Good for Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led.
