About Suffolk Lodge
Residential care at Suffolk Lodge supports older people, including those living with dementia and physical disabilities. The home operates without nursing provision and offers a settled setting with structured daily support.
Organised activities form part of life at the home, including activities designed for residents with severe dementia. The service also supports shorter assessment stays alongside longer-term arrangements, allowing families to consider care needs in one setting. Residents can take part in activities designed for severe dementia, with routines and social contact contributing to daily life.

Questions families ask
How much does Suffolk Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Suffolk Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Wokingham council paid on average £1,181 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 Suffolk Lodge whether it takes residents funded by Wokingham 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.
