Sponsored editorial: St Peter's House Care Home in Bury St Edmunds welcoming new residents

The team at St Peter’s House Care Home are now very excited to be able to welcome new residents to join their thriving community.

St Peter’s House is a warm and friendly care home situated on Out Risbygate in Bury St Edmunds and is rated as 'outstanding' by the independent care home regulator, the Care Quality Commission (CQC).

Unlike other care homes, the management at St Peter’s House decided not to admit any new residents between April to mid-August, during lockdown last year.

This decision was taken to protect the residents’ wellbeing as a number one priority and this, along with implementing other strict safety measures, has ensured there have been no resident cases in the home.

Now under new management, St Peter’s House has had a 'Covid safe' visitor room fitted with a complete glass partition and audio system so relatives can visit their loved ones without fear of passing on infection. The new owner, Welford Healthcare, is also planning other exciting refurbishments to further improve facilities.

“I feel secure that Mum is well looked after by a fantastic team of staff. In today’s difficult time of Covid, not only do I feel relaxed knowing that Mum is loved and cared for by her family, St Peter’s House, but they also try their best to let you interact with your loved ones, be it by FaceTime, a visit outside when possible or through a screen.”

Helen (Daughter of resident)

Donna Cook, manager, said: "We are so excited to have a new visitor suite and to be able to welcome new residents to become part of our family."

St Peter’s House offers the highest levels of residential care including for those with dementia and has a welcoming and vibrant atmosphere and a full and stimulating activities programme.

The CQC rating St Peter’s House as 'Outstanding' means residents feel extremely comfortable and safe, surrounded by a friendly and highly skilled team.

The home has an open plan design which means residents are free to choose how they spend their time, from taking part in regular activities or gardening, to making use of the designated quiet areas.

St Peter’s House has an enviable reputation with the vast majority of new admissions coming from personal recommendations. Here are some of the things relatives have said about our service:

“St Peter's House is a wonderful care home. My mother, who had Alzheimer's, was looked after sensitively and with great kindness and respect during the time she lived there.”

Anna (Daughter of Resident)

“Our mum was at St Peter's for 5 years and the care she received was outstanding”

Jenny, (Daughter of Resident)

“All the people who work there are kind, caring, hardworking and professional. The kitchen provides excellent meals and residents can choose what and when they eat and drink."
