About Chilton Court
Chilton Court combines residential care for older people with care housing for those seeking more independence. Its services include dementia, respite, palliative care and wellbeing support, while the connected Courtyard offers a separate living arrangement with help available when needed.
The Courtyard has self-contained accommodation with a living room, fitted kitchen, one or two bedrooms and bathrooms. Staff are on site and on call 24 hours a day, linking the independent units to the main home. Residents can also take part in activities, and relatives can use the guest suite when visiting. Connected independent care housing is the home’s distinctive feature.

How much does Chilton Court cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Chilton Court 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.
