New Extension for The Beeches Residential Home

We’re proud to announce that we have completed the new extension to our home! This will allow us to welcome even more residents into our supportive and friendly community.
Our care home, in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, has been extended with an additional ten en-suite bedrooms, adding to our existing number of single, double and en-suite rooms. The new rooms are fully furnished with modern fittings, but they also have room for personal belongings to ensure new residents feel fully at home.

The new addition also features a fully landscaped courtyard. Here, both current and new residents can enjoy the outdoors while socialising with friends and family.

The grand opening particularly excites our Registered Manager, Angela Wade who said; “We are proud of the compassionate care that we provide to our residents each and every day. Our first priority will always be the happiness of our residents, creating a place they can call home and this expansion is testament to the commitment of our care team.”

“Our residents and care team are already excited by the prospect of meeting new people and welcoming them into the community.”

To celebrate the extension, we’re currently planning an event. We shall welcome friends, family and the local community to take a tour and meet residents and the care team. Details of the event will be announced shortly so like our Facebook page to be among the first to know.
