About Mill Lane Nursing and Residential Home
Mill Lane Nursing and Residential Home provides residential, nursing, respite and dementia care for older people in a registered care home setting. Its nursing provision is suited to residents whose needs require ongoing support, while respite care offers a shorter-term arrangement for families seeking a temporary placement.
The home forms part of Healthcare Homes, which provides residential and nursing care across the South and East of England. Its wider specialist services include support for people with physical or learning disabilities, although the local registration specifically covers dementia care and older people. Permanent and respite care are both available through its residential and nursing home services.

Questions families ask
How much does Mill Lane Nursing and Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Mill Lane Nursing and Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Suffolk council paid on average £1,058 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Mill Lane Nursing and Residential Home whether it takes residents funded by Suffolk council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
