Location

Fornham House is situated in the picturesque village of Fornham St Martin, which is about five miles from the market town of Bury St Edmunds. Set in extensive grounds with views over the surrounding countryside, our residents can relax in seating areas surrounded by colourful flower beds, mature trees, and a large pond with water feature, aquatic plants and fish. Although in a country setting Fornham House is on the edge of the historic town and within easy reach of the shops and facilities. There is a public house and church in the village but other facilities (such as shops) are located in Bury St Edmunds.

The Home:

Widely regarded as Bury St. Edmunds' finest care home for elderly people wishing to maintain an independent lifestyle. Fornham House offers a choice of amenities for gracious living. Seven lounges, including the Constable Lounge where many social activities take place, are complemented by patio and garden areas for summer outdoor relaxation. Generous single rooms, all with en-suite facilities, are tastefully decorated and provide our residents with the necessary facilities for a quality life in later years. Although all rooms are fully furnished, we encourage residents to bring with them items of furniture and personal possessions so that their room can be a true ‘home from home’.

Care Staff

Our care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. They are on hand around the clock to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.

Facilities

We regularly assess each resident so that we can be sure their needs are met and supply specialised equipment if required. An optician, dentist, and chiropodist visit by appointment, and the in-house hairdressing salon provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages. Our catering staff provides delicious meals and snacks throughout the day, as well as special dishes for those with particular dietary requirements.

Activities

Fornham House has the benefit of an Activities Coordinator with whom Residents can arrange to take part in as many, or as few, activities as they wish. Our activity leaflet gives more information about what is on offer.

Individual Care

We strongly believe that no matter what level of care is required, everyone deserves the same attention and has the same right to live life to the full. We aim to make our residents’ lives enjoyable and satisfying, enabling them to meet new friends and keep in touch with existing ones. Family and friends are always welcome at Fornham House and we value their involvement in our resident’s care. Above all, we promote individual choice in a caring environment that is free from stress or worry.
