About Heath Lodge Care Home

Heath Lodge Care Home is a residential care home in Holt, Norfolk. We look after older people who need daily care, including many people living with dementia, and we also support people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities, people with a visual or hearing impairment and younger adults. The house is meant to feel like a home. People get up when they wake, eat food they actually enjoy and spend the day as they like, whether that is in company or quietly on their own. For someone living with dementia, that ordinary rhythm and the presence of familiar faces is the greater part of good care, and so is having enough time in the day that nobody is hurried through anything. Respite stays are part of what we do, giving a family carer a genuine rest or supporting someone through a period of recovery after illness or a hospital stay. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We were pleased with it, though the question we ask ourselves more often is whether people look settled and comfortable here week after week. If you would like to look round, please ring and come at a time that suits you. We are glad for people to see the home on an ordinary day rather than a prepared one.
