Anglia Care operates across Ipswich and Felixstowe, offering a range of domestic support personal and specialist care, including in residential care settings. The family-run business also prides itself on being able to assist clients within their own homes, helping them to continue living as independently as possible.
Carers work in flexible shifts throughout the day and tend to operate in smaller geographical areas to ensure that clients are greeted by the same people. This also helps to build more trusting carer/client relationships and enables the carer to learn about their client’s specific needs, wants and interests.

They fled the most heartbreaking horrors of war imaginable - from being shot and seeing their homes destroyed, to family members being killed or tortured.
But these refugees said fleeing to Ipswich and Suffolk ensured they could begin a new life - as the county helped them to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives after the trauma of civil war.
Since its outbreak in 2011, the Syrian conflict has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced more than half the country s population to flee their homes.
