Source: Suffolk County Council, Standard Care Purchase Rates 2025-26, effective 2025/26; we last checked it on 11 August 2026. We do not print an estimate of what Dell House charges a self-funding family, because no such figure has been published and we will not invent one. The council rate is the firm number to negotiate against.

How the inspectors rated it

Good

The Care Quality Commission rated Dell House Good when it last published an assessment, in December 2021.

Around the national middleThe national middle is 4.3 years. How we measure this.

That was 4.6 years ago. Managers move on, owners sell up, staff turn over. A rating this old describes the home as it was in 2021 — not as it is this month. Three questions worth asking on the phone: who is the manager now, how long have they been in post, and how many of the care staff have been there more than a year?

Ask them what a room costs today

Published fees go stale within months. Tell us what care is needed and we will ask Dell House directly, then send you the reply. We are paid nothing if you move in, so we have no reason to push you here or anywhere else.

Ask about fees

Would the council pay towards this?

Whether you pay all of it, some of it or none of it turns on savings, income and whether a property would be left empty. Our calculator applies the 2026/27 means test and tells you the weekly figure. See also how council funding works and what happens when the money runs out.
