I have found Laxfield to be the best I could have for my husband (who has mixed dementia with Lewy Body). They have managed him well with good care and dignity. It is a very well-managed nursing home and is a very peaceful place for my husband to be, keeping him safe and comfortable. All the staff are very caring. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone. They also look out for me and are very mindful of how hard this is for me also.

A lovely relaxed atmosphere. The staff are always on hand to help with any enquiries. All the staff are always very friendly and helpful and always have time for us. There is a good rota of activities which many residents join in and clearly enjoy. The home has a huge conservatory and a beautiful garden to be enjoyed. This is clearly a very well-managed home and is enjoyed by staff, residents and visitors alike.

Laxfield House is an excellent care home. Management and staff are always extremely helpful and pleasant. My uncle has been there for 3 years now. During this time, he has deteriorated considerably and Laxfield House have accommodated uncle's decline in every way. My mother and a close friend have also been here in the past - no complaints.

My mother moved into Laxfield House in January following a lengthy illness and stay in hospital. She moved in for short term respite care, but we are now struggling to convince her to move home! Everything at Laxfield is so well done, from the lovely rooms, large conservatory and gardens, to the excellent food presented on trays and wonderful, caring staff. We couldn't be happier with her care and should she choose to leave one day, I'm sure she'll be back.

All aspects of care, wellbeing and dignity were carried out to an exemplary standard for mum and dad at all times. The family were also treated with compassion, being kept well informed at all times and supported throughout. It was also lovely that mum and dad were able to be together in a double room even though their needs were very different which was a huge comfort not only for my mum and dad but all the family too. Their room was well maintained and airy and the gardens were very relaxing and mum and dad spent many an afternoon sitting outside enjoying the surroundings. It was such a huge weight off our shoulders as we were confident that mum and dad were receiving all the attention they deserve and we can't thank Laxfield House enough for giving us that peace of mind.

After considering five care and nursing homes and visiting these over the 2018 Christmas period we had no hesitation in choosing Laxfield House as the most suitable home for my mother. The home is well staffed and always has a suitably qualified nursing sister on duty. My mother has settled in well and we couldn't have made a better choice for her.

My aunty spent four months in another care home prior to transferring to Laxfield House. Only then did I realise how good Laxfield is. Everyone is genuinely approachable and friendly. The food is well varied with individual preferences catered for outside of basic choices, proper crockery, napkins and doilies are nice touches. The resident's communal areas are spacious and varied especially the magnificent conservatory. Hygiene is evidently top priority and the ambience throughout the premises is consistently very pleasant.

A very good home in beautiful surroundings that provides a professional and high standard of care. Very professional, nice and caring staff who clearly treat residents with respect and dignity.

When it became impossible for me to care for my mother at home due to disability and dementia, my sister and I had to make the decision to find for her, which was in our opinion, the very best nursing home in East Anglia. Laxfield House more than fulfilled our demanding criteria. Our mother is very comfortable at Laxfield, where she has a beautiful room with en-suite facilities and is extremely well cared for in all respects. The staff are exemplary, and their kindness not only to our mother but to my sister and myself is unconditional and 24/7. Both my sister and I will always hold a special place in our hearts for everyone at Laxfield House for the kindness and support they show to us always, at what is a most difficult and emotional time.

The establishment, staff and level of care are excellent.

The care home is excellent and the support from the staff is second to none. On occasions at weekends is a bit short. Overall I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Laxfield House has a great number of genuine 'carers' on its staff; by that, I mean individuals who really do care about the residents. The 'surroundings' to the care home, the garden, the conservatory, are wonderful facilities for the residents, and add greatly to the 'within room' care that each resident receives. My only concern relates to the ease with which it is possible to telephone my mother, often the phone is not left beside her either when she is in bed or when in her armchair.

My parents were able to share a double room whereas most nursing homes do not provide this facility. They were treated very kindly by everyone and nothing was too much trouble, even visitors were offered tea/coffee and cake on arrival. When dad passed away in September 2018 the staff would sit with mum and keep her company. Sadly mum passed away 2 months later. All the management and staff were very kind and compassionate to us all on both of our upsetting occasions.

Laxfield House eased the last few days of her life with care and dignity. She passed away gently without pain. We were able to assist this procedure and give her as much support as possible. We cannot speak more highly of the care.

My mother has been a resident in Laxfield House for almost 2 years after a lengthy stay in hospital resulting in her needing continued nursing care. She is extremely happy there and we can't praise the Management/nursing staff and carers highly enough. She is not able to attend to her personal care herself but is always clean and tidy. From what we have seen of the meals they are always of a high standard and the residents choose from a varied menu. The corridors and communal areas always look very clean and tidy whilst maintaining a relaxed homely feel. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and family and visitors are always made to feel very welcome. The large conservatory overlooking beautiful gardens is my mother's favourite place to spend her day in a comfortable reclining chair. We highly recommend Laxfield House to anyone looking for a caring and safe environment for their elderly relative.

My father has been looked after by all the staff to the highest of standards. He is very poorly, but the staff all treat him with respect and as an adult, it is great to see, all his needs are fully taken care of by the very professional, attentive, caring staff. I cannot rate the people highly enough. Laxfield House is a very smart building with fantastic surrounding gardens that are kept very neat and tidy. The setting is very tranquil in the village of Brent Eleigh. The interior of the house is also very neat and tidy, the en-suite bedrooms are all of a good size and the conservatory is exceptional with great views over the well-kept garden. The house is kept at a nice temperature throughout the day and night, and the windows let in bags of light. At this traumatic time for my close family, we couldn’t wish for a better place for my father to be in and cared for and we will be forever in the debt of the people who make Laxfield House the superb nursing home that it is.
