About Badgers Wood

Badgers Wood is a residential care home in Norwich, Norfolk. We look after older people who need support with everyday living, and we also support younger adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities. The mix of people we support is wider than in many homes, and we think that is a strength rather than a complication. It means we plan around the individual. What does somebody need, what can they still do perfectly well for themselves, and what do they want their day to look like. We aim for a calm, ordinary household. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines, choose how they spend their time and see visitors when they like. Meals are planned around what people actually enjoy, and there is company for anyone who wants it and quiet for anyone who does not. For residents living with dementia, familiar surroundings, unhurried staff and a predictable day matter more than anything else we could provide. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding. That belongs to the team who do the work day after day, and it is the standard we intend to keep. Please come and see us, speak to residents and relatives and ask us anything you like.
