Staff at Woodbridge Lodge residential home are proud to be rated good in all five categories with a good overall by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).   Inspectors found the service at the Kingsley Healthcare run home, in Burkitt Road, Woodbridge, to be caring, well-led, safe, responsive and effective.  

Woodbridge Lodge manager Jill Harris said: “It’s been a real team effort and we are delighted to have been rated good in every category.   “We are proud to be highly regarded as a friendly home offering really good person centred care. The positive way we are regarded by the local community is reflected in heart-warming reviews on Carehome.co.uk.”
