Baylham & Barham Care Centres
Award-winning Nursing & Residential Care

Welcome to
BAYLHAM & BARHAM CARE CENTRES
Nestled in the rolling Suffolk
countryside, Optima Healthcare’s
Baylham and Barham Care
Centres were developed with the
needs of residents in mind.
Both centres can provide single
and multiple day care, respite,
medium-term and long-term
residential/ Nursing care.
Though many of our residents
are elderly, we can also provide
support for younger adults with
acquired brain injuries and
reablement services, often needed
following a major health event or
hospital stay.
BAYLHAM
CARE
CENTRE
Purpose-built, it
commands spectacular views over
the Gipping Valley, with a wide
range of native wildlife on show.
With 55 rooms, including some
suited to couples, residents can
enjoy a number of communal and
quieter spaces.
Baylham Centre also has an
award-winning Town Green at its
centre and a specialist dementia
care wing.
Physiotherapy and occupational
therapy are available at both
centres.

BARHAM CARE CENTRE
Barham Care Centre is smaller than
Baylham, but offers the same high levels
of care and views of the surrounding
countryside.
The home is located on the edge of
Barham Village, with shops and amenities
just a short distance away. Residents can
visit the village via a network of smooth
footpaths. It also has a number of secluded
courtyards for those who enjoy the outdoors.
MAKING A NEW HOME
We seek to provide a ‘home away
from home’ for all of our residents. We
work closely with the person and their
families to make sure everyone has
a care plan that suits their individual
personality and routine. Rooms are
decorated to suit the new resident’s
taste and they can bring their own
furniture and decorations.
MAINTAINING INDEPENDENCE
Our ethos is to focus on what people
can do, rather than their limitations.
Both homes are equipped to allow
as much independence as possible,
regardless of a person’s individual
care needs. Our staff are there to
support people to ‘do what they want
to do’.
PART OF A COMMUNITY
Isolation can be difficult when
someone has to leave their own home.
Family and friends can visit anytime
and we have full-time residents’
activities coordinators at each centre.
We offer a range of daily activities
and day trips for residents to take
part in.
QUALITY OF LIFE AND
WELLBEING
Mental health and happiness is just
as important as physical wellbeing.
To support this, both centres offer
complementary therapies including
massage, reflexology, manicure and
hairdressing.

SUPPORT YOU CAN RELY ON
We understand that finding the right type
of care for your loved one can be a stressful
and emotional time. We can help to make it
easier — We have been trusted to care for
the people of Suffolk for more than 30 years.
Whether you need Day care a single day
a week, rehabilitation/ respite, or full-time
residential/ nursing care — we can assist
you and your loved ones for
as little or as long as needed.
