How does Broadlands support the move into care?
Before moving in, the team discusses care needs, routines, preferences and personal history with residents and families, then creates a personalised care plan.
What types of care does Broadlands provide?
Broadlands provides residential, respite and end-of-life care in a traditional residential care home.
How much does Broadlands cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Broadlands for its weekly fee. As a guide, Suffolk council paid on average £1,080 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
