About Oulton Park Care Centre
Oulton Park Care Centre provides nursing, residential, dementia and respite care for older people, younger adults and people with physical disabilities. Both long-term and short-term care are available, with person-centred plans intended to reflect residents’ needs, preferences and daily routines.
The home’s hospitality offer includes meals prepared on site from locally sourced meat and vegetables, seasonal dishes and modified-texture options. Residents can also take part in regular activities, while families and community groups are welcomed into the home. Specialised long and short-term care makes the centre relevant to people comparing permanent nursing support with temporary arrangements.

How much does Oulton Park Care Centre cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oulton Park Care Centre 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.
