About Us

Care homes where compassion meets excellence every day

Committed to the highest standards of complex care

Welcome to Barham Care Home and Baylham Care Home. We believe in compassionate care tailored to meet the unique needs of each resident. Our commitment to excellence is rooted in our understanding of the complexity of nursing and dementia care.


We recognise that caring for individuals living with dementia, or receiving nursing care, requires a deep understanding of their unique challenges and needs. Our dedicated team is trained to provide specialised care that promotes dignity, respect, and quality of life for every resident.


Central to our approach is our experienced clinical lead, who oversees every aspect of care delivery. With our expertise in nursing and dementia care, we ensure that each resident receives the highest standard of care and attention.


We believe that a person's acuity level and complex needs should not limit their quality of life. That's why we go above and beyond to create a homely environment where residents can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.


From personalised care plans to engaging activities and therapeutic interventions, we are committed to enhancing the well-being of each individual under our care.


Our homes are more than just a care facility; we are a supportive community where residents feel valued, respected, and empowered to live life to the fullest.
