About Henley House
Henley House combines residential, dementia and respite care for older people in a purpose-designed home on the edge of Ipswich. Residents can use landscaped gardens, comfortable lounges, a cinema and tea room, with support shaped around individual routines and care needs.
Dementia care is provided on a separate floor with a dedicated Care Unit Manager. Short-term respite and flexible trial stays can help someone experience the home before deciding on a longer-term move. Families are involved in planning the transition and ongoing support. Respite and trial stays depend on availability and individual needs.

Questions families ask
Can I arrange a respite or trial stay at Henley House?
Yes. They offer short-term respite care and flexible trial stays, subject to availability and individual needs.
What happens if a resident’s money runs out?
They can support private residents to remain at Henley House if their personal funds run out, provided the home can continue meeting their assessed care needs.
How does Henley House support residents with dementia?
Dementia care is provided on a separate floor with a dedicated Care Unit Manager. Staff learn each resident’s routines, preferences and life story.
Does Henley House offer a longer trial before permanent care?
Yes. A six-week trial period can give someone time to settle in and experience life at the home before deciding on permanent care.
What activities are available at Henley House?
The programme includes music, arts and crafts, gentle exercise, gardening, games, themed events and visits from the local community, shaped around residents’ interests.
How much does Henley House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Henley House 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.
