About Walsham Grange

Walsham Grange is a residential care home in North Walsham. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. We plan around the person rather than the building. Before somebody moves in we ask how they have always run their day, what they want help with and what they would much rather do themselves, and we write it down so it does not depend on who is on shift. Help with washing, dressing, mobility and medication is given discreetly and at the time that suits. For people living with dementia we keep the day steady and the faces familiar, and we use what relatives tell us about a person's history rather than filing it away. Meals are cooked on the premises and served without hurry. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would rather say that plainly than leave you to come across it later. We have accepted the findings, we are working through them, and we are happy to explain in detail what has changed since. Short respite stays are available, often to give a carer at home a rest. If you are considering us for yourself or a relative, please visit, look at how the house feels, and ask us whatever you need to.
