Located in the historic market town of Bury St Edmunds, in Suffolk, Cornwallis Court provides residential care, nursing and residential dementia support, and we support residents looking for permanent care or short stay breaks.

A new-build care home is currently being built on-site, which is due to be completed in summer 2026. The Home has been designed to meet the changing needs of our residents, including the latest technologies to support up to 64 residents.

The layout will include four house groups to create a more homely environment. Each space will feature 16 bedrooms with full en-suite wet rooms, varied communal spaces and an enclosed landscape garden to support residents’ health and wellbeing. You can read more about the Home’s progess, including images in our latest impact report here.

Cornwallis Court is a very friendly care home supporting residents to stay as independent as possible for as long as possible. Our position close to the centre of town allows residents to walk into Bury St Edmunds for a coffee or a spot of shopping, if they choose, or for them to be dropped off with our minibus.

Cornwallis Court can support up to 34 people in the two residential areas of our Home. In our Dementia House we can support up to 12 people and in the Nursing area, we have a capacity of 11 residents. We use a staff dependency tool to determine the agreed staffing levels for each area of our Home, which varies upon our residents’ needs at any given time. These levels are monitored and reviewed regularly so staffing ratios can be adjusted according to the needs of our residents.
