Meet The Manager

This has enabled me to develop knowledge and experience across all areas to a high level.
We want to be known for delivering the highest standard of person-centred care, empowering residents and promoting independence to support physical and mental wellbeing.
Catchpole Court, set in the beautiful market town of Sudbury, with a picturesque lake nearby, offers nursing, dementia, residential and respite care, in a comfortable environment that really feels like home.
