Brief description

Lakenheath Village is a Residential Care Home that is run by the Christian Enterprise Foundation. The Foundation is registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Trust. A Board of Trustees administers the Trust.

The home was formerly the Vicarage and was donated by Mr Lionel Alsop in 1986 to establish a Residential Care Home for older people living in and around Lakenheath. Lakenheath village is compact with good local amenities, which are reasonably close to the home.
 
The original building has been extended to accommodate a maximum of 21 residents aged 65 years and over.

Lakenheath Village Home is situated within it's own grounds. The building is constructed on two levels but all the residential accommodation is situated at ground floor level. The Home provides 21 bedrooms for single occupancy.

All bedrooms are fitted with a vanity unit, a television point and an emergency alarm call system. The bedrooms do not benefit from en suite toilet and bathing facilities but these are conveniently located in close proximity to residents accommodation. Residents are able to welcome their guests in either the lounge or the library.

There are two dining rooms where residents are able to take their meals if they wish. Residents have access to mature landscape gardens and car parking is available at the front of the home.
 
A detailed Statement of Purpose, colour photographic brochure and a Service User Guide handbook provides detailed information about the home, the services provided and access to local services.

Each resident has a contract of terms and conditions with information as to their current fees, which range from £362 to £475 per week.
