About Coniston House
Coniston House specialises in dementia care for older people and younger adults within a 27-bed residential home near Felixstowe. It also provides respite stays, including single bookings of two days to three weeks or multiple short breaks during the year.
Residents can join tea dances, film evenings, gardening and cookery, or choose quiet time instead. Meals are cooked in the home’s kitchens using fresh local produce, and special diets are catered for. Staff are trained in dementia care, while the home works with GPs and district nurses and arranges visits from a chiropodist and hairdresser. Families can therefore consider both ongoing and short-term support.
