"More than a Home"

Welcome to The Willows Residential Home. Our home is beautifully situated in Lawshall, a picturesque village cradled between the charming towns of Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk’s lush countryside. Transformed from the historic Corders Farm, this tranquil haven now graciously cares and supports twenty-four residents.

We’re more than a residential home; At The Willows, we’re a vibrant community set amidst idyllic country village scenery, providing comprehensive care including long-term residential support, specialized dementia care, rejuvenating respite stays, and dedicated spaces for those under 65.

We believe in creating a home away from home,  – a place where every day is a celebration of life, independence, and individual preferences. Our ethos, shaped by over 25 years of dedicated service, is to provide personalized care that enriches every aspect of our residents’ lives, ensuring they feel valued and understood.

The heart of our home beats with the presence of Margaret Hall, our dedicated registered manager. With over two decades of compassionate service, Margaret leads with empathy and understanding, creating a nurturing environment where each resident’s wellbeing is paramount. Her commitment is reflected in our personalized care approach and the vibrant, community-focused life at The Willows.

Our home is a sanctuary of safety, comfort, and belonging. Residents and their families can relax, knowing they are in a secure, supportive, and welcoming environment. Our collaborative care approach ensures that every resident is encouraged to live a life filled with dignity, respect, and kindness.

At The Willows, we believe that care is about enriching lives. We strive to provide excellence in every service, from personalized care plans to engaging daily activities that reflect each individual’s preferences and history. We are dedicated to making sure every resident feels valued, heard, and truly at home.

At The Willows, our dedicated staff team is committed to helping every resident not just live comfortably and safely, but to experience a life full of vibrancy and joy. Here, residents don’t just exist; they thrive in a community rich in care, compassion, and the celebration of life.

A message from our Registered Manager

Margaret Holt

Providing care at Glendale Lodge for over 28 years

As your Home Manager, it's my greatest joy and privilege to build and nurture warm, meaningful relationships with each of you.

My commitment goes beyond managing our home; it's about creating a family-like atmosphere where everyone feels valued, understood, and deeply cared for.

I believe that the heart of our home lies in the smiles, stories, and shared experiences of our residents. That's why I'm dedicated to ensuring that each day here is filled with opportunities for joy, personal growth, and the best quality of life.

Together, let's make our home a place of laughter, love, and lasting memories. Your thoughts, feedback, and participation are not just welcome, they're essential in making our community vibrant and fulfilling for everyone.

Looking forward to many more beautiful moments together!
