Brief description
Thornbank Residential Home is situated in a pleasant residential area of Ipswich and provides accommodation and care for up to 33 older people. The home is owned and administered by the Greensleeves Homes Trust, a non-profit making organisation and looks out onto Christchurch Park. The home is sited within easy reach of Ipswich town centre with all its facilities and resources.
The building has been registered as a care home since 1945 when it was first purchased by the WRVS. In 1995 the neighbouring property was acquired and an extension with a link between the two houses was built. Accommodation is sited on three floors but all are accessible via a passenger or stair lift.
The home has 29 rooms for single occupancy and two shared rooms all of which benefit from ensuite facilities with a minimum of a washbasin and toilet. Twenty-nine rooms also have the advantage of an ensuite shower facility. Additionally the home has 5 assisted bathrooms, which are located across 3 floors.
The home has three communal lounges, and a large dining room.
