About Us

As part of the nationally recognised Walfinch care network, the branch combines the strength of an established UK care brand with a strong local presence, ensuring that every client receives tailored support that promotes independence, dignity, and wellbeing.
Based in Saxmundham, the service provides flexible home care and live-in care designed to support individuals with a wide range of needs. Whether it is occasional companionship, help with daily tasks, or full-time care for more complex conditions, the team works closely with clients and their families to create personalised care plans that adapt as needs change.
Walfinch Suffolk Coastal offers support with everyday activities such as personal care, meal preparation, medication reminders, mobility assistance, and companionship. The team also provides specialist care for individuals living with conditions such as dementia, Parkinson’s disease, stroke recovery, multiple sclerosis, and other long-term health challenges.
The branch is led by Managing Director Sarah Wickham, an experienced care professional who has worked in the sector for two decades. Having started her career as a live-in carer and later managing care services, she is passionate about providing high-quality, person-centred care that enables people to remain safe, comfortable, and independent at home.
Walfinch Suffolk Coastal prides itself on recruiting compassionate, highly trained carers who undergo rigorous vetting and professional training. This commitment ensures that clients receive reliable, respectful, and high-quality care delivered by people who genuinely care about the individuals they support.
Serving communities across towns and villages including Saxmundham, Aldeburgh, Leiston, Southwold, Halesworth, Beccles, and surrounding areas, Walfinch Suffolk Coastal is committed not only to providing outstanding home care services but also to supporting the local community and improving quality of life for those who need care at home.
At its core, Walfinch Suffolk Coastal believes that care is about more than assistance—it is about building relationships, supporting independence, and helping people continue to live fulfilling lives in the place they know and love most: their own home.
