Questions families ask
Do the rooms have private ensuite bathrooms?
Yes. The home has 18 bright single rooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. Three rooms also have private terraces.
How often are activities organised for residents?
They offer engaging activities twice daily, designed to stimulate residents’ minds and bodies and encourage enjoyment and connection.
How much does Merryfields cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Merryfields 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.
