About The Martins
The Martins provides residential, dementia and short-term respite care for older people. It is also positioned within a wider not-for-profit care organisation supporting later life, making the home relevant to families arranging either ongoing accommodation or a temporary stay.
The home’s service is available for professional referrals as well as individuals and families seeking care. Its wider care model includes timely assessments and support tailored to individual needs, while surplus income is reinvested into services. This gives the home a clear focus on residential support for older people and practical help during referral and assessment.

Questions families ask
How much does The Martins cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Martins 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 The Martins 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.
