Meet The Manager
Cathrine Arbon is Home Manager at Rendlesham Care Centre.
At the award-winning Rendlesham Care Centre in Suffolk, we provide the highest standards of residential, nursing, and dementia care for up to 60 elderly residents. We are located by Rendlesham Forest on the outskirts of the village.
The Care Centre comprises three self-contained communities that provide different levels of care, all in the one location. This gives our residents a sense of a small-scale and homely living environment, with the added benefit of outstanding care facilities. As residents' care needs change, we are equipped to meet those needs and ensure they can remain within the community they have become an integral part of.
Sitting on the edge of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Rendlesham is perfectly positioned to access the coast, Ipswich and the quiet of the medieval market towns of Saxmundham and Wickham Market. The Suffolk area is known for its rich historical sites, including Sutton Hoo, Framlingham Castle, Ickworth House and St. Edmonsbury Cathedral.
