About
Westerfield House Care Ltd is a care home in Ipswich, Suffolk, with 37 registered beds. The home is set in the countryside and offers en-suite rooms and shared amenities. Support is available around the clock, and the home aims to help residents live as independently as they can, with care provided when it is needed. Staff also encourage a sense of community in which friendships can develop.

The operator also intends to use part of the site for 147 self-contained apartments for assisted living, where individuals or couples would live independently in a secure specialist care complex with care available at different levels. This is a planned development, not a current service.
