Asterbury Place in Ipswich is an ‘outstanding’-rated care home (April 2019) dedicated to delivering the best care while ensuring residents get the most out of each day. The skilled team provides residential, nursing and dementia care and support that is personalised to each resident’s needs, wishes and preferences. Each resident is involved in decisions about their care and lifestyle at Asterbury Place, and they choose how to spend the day and have a say in decisions about how the home is run.

The home itself has some fantastic facilities for residents to enjoy at their leisure, including a cinema, café, hair and beauty salon and lovely landscaped gardens. Every bedroom is beautifully decorated and furnished, with an en-suite wet-room.

From the manager

“I have been in the social care sector for most of my working life, having worked my way up from a carer to home management roles. I have worked with a range of providers, but I became interested in joining Care UK after seeing how they develop their colleagues. I thought this would be a care provider that can really help me progress in my career. I first joined Care UK at Cedrus House in May 2021, and I was promoted to Deputy Manager in January 2023. In December 2023, I moved over to Asterbury Place. In this role, I believe it’s important to be patient, resilient and supportive. I love that no two days are ever the same. Seeing the smiles on residents’ faces is my favourite part of the day, and I feel proud when they are happy and when colleagues leave their shift happy.”

— Wendy Hutton
