About St Josephs
St Josephs provides residential care within a retirement community, including dementia care, respite stays and support for older people and younger adults. The home offers a setting where residents can take part in activities, outings, shared meals and social events while receiving day-to-day care.
Families can arrange an enquiry, view the home in person or request a virtual show round before a pre-assessment considers the resident’s needs. Moving-in discussions cover practical arrangements and personal possessions, helping residents settle into their new surroundings. The home’s published private fee starts at £1,552 per week. St Josephs offers respite care and short breaks for people who need temporary support or a planned stay.

Questions families ask
How much does St Josephs cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask St Josephs 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.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask St Josephs 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). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
