About The Gables

The Gables is a residential care home in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, offering a settled and comfortable home for older people who find that living alone has become difficult. Many of the people who live here are living with dementia, and our approach there is unhurried and consistent. We keep the day familiar, we avoid unnecessary change, and we take time at the start to learn about somebody's life and habits from them and from their family. Knowing who a person has been tells us far more about how to care for them now than a list of needs ever could, and it is usually the small details that prove most useful. Beyond that, people here decide how their days go. Some want company and whatever is happening in the lounge; others would rather have their own room, their own radio and their own peace. Both are perfectly reasonable. Care is given discreetly, with proper attention to privacy and dignity, and we support people to keep doing whatever they still can for themselves. Visitors are welcome whenever suits them, and we keep relatives properly informed rather than waiting to be asked. Respite stays are available too, for family carers needing a planned break and for people needing support for a few weeks after illness or a hospital admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see us on an ordinary day.
