About The Crown Rest Home

The Crown is a rest home in King's Lynn, Norfolk. We are home to older people, both for the long term and for shorter respite stays when a family carer needs a break. Our priorities are the ones residents raise: the food, the temperature, how long help takes, and whether they can please themselves in the afternoon. We would rather know one person properly than have a tidy file on everybody. That knowledge is what lets staff notice a change before it becomes a crisis. Respite guests are properly welcomed rather than merely accommodated. We ask beforehand how the person likes things done, because a short stay gives us no time to learn it gradually. A good number of our residents have lived in this part of Norfolk all their lives, and they know it far better than we do. There is a great deal to be said for a conversation about the town with somebody who has watched it change over eighty years. Declining to join in is always allowed here. We ask, we ask again another day, and we do not treat a preference for one's own company as a problem to be solved. The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Families are welcome to arrive unannounced.
