Meet The Manager
Suzanne York is Home Manager at Uvedale Hall Residential Home.
I’m passionate about creating a true home-from-home environment, which I see as an essential part of the role. I believe in the core ethos that “we work in their home”, and I strive to ensure this principle shapes the values, attitudes, and everyday actions of everyone on our team.
Located in Gipping Valley in the attractive Suffolk town of Needham Market, Uvedale Hall is set in beautiful gardens and offers residential and respite care for up to 29 residents. Our caring team of staff treat every resident like one of the family and there is a warm and welcoming feel to the home provided by a highly motivated and friendly team of staff.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Uvedale Hall is one of the finest residential care homes in Suffolk, offering an unparalleled range of facilities and services in idyllic surroundings. This beautiful Georgian home boasts three elegant lounges, a South-facing conservatory and a magnificent staircase, winding round a sparkling chandelier. Our single bedrooms are all en-suite, tastefully decorated and provide television and telephone points. Whilst they are all fully furnished, we encourage our residents to bring items of their own furniture and possessions with them so that their room can become truly their own. Named after the famous botanist, Robert Uvedale, Uvedale Hall lies in the Gipping Valley in the pretty Suffolk town of Needham Market. Close to Stowmarket and Ipswich, the home also has Needham Lake nearby, a lovely walk for the more energetic resident. Whilst Robert Uvedale was renowned for propagating the Cedar of Lebanon tree, it is the hundred year old geranium plant in the resident’s conservatory that attracts everyone today. Well-kept gardens, including a central fountain, are also available for our residents to enjoy. |
