Questions families ask
Can The Westcliff Care Home provide full nursing care?
No. The Westcliff is a residential home and cannot provide full nursing care. If a resident becomes ill, care can continue until a doctor or district nurse decides a move is needed.
Can family and friends visit at any time?
Yes. Visitors are welcome at any time because the home is considered the service users’ home, although late-evening visits should be kept to a minimum where possible.
Can residents bring their own furniture to The Westcliff?
Yes. Residents are encouraged to bring small items of furniture, pictures and ornaments, subject to room size and safety requirements.
What activities are available at The Westcliff?
An activities co-ordinator provides group activities such as bingo and sing-alongs, personalised activities and outings. Musical entertainment is also provided fortnightly.
How much does The Westcliff Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Westcliff Care Home 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.
