About Braydeston Court

Braydeston Court is a residential care home in Norwich, Norfolk. We provide a permanent home for older people and for some younger adults, and we also offer respite stays for people who need care for a shorter spell. We support people with the ordinary business of the day: washing and dressing, medication, meals, moving safely about the building and having somebody to talk to. Many of the people who live here are living with dementia. Our approach to that is practical rather than theoretical. Familiar routines, surroundings that are easy to make sense of, unhurried conversation, and staff who take the time to work out what a person means when the words are hard to find. We also want to be straightforward with you about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We have accepted those findings rather than argued with them, and we are working through the areas identified, with closer attention to how care is planned, recorded, reviewed and checked. We would rather say that plainly than have you learn it from somewhere else. If you are considering a home in Norwich for yourself or a relative, please come and see us, ask the difficult questions and hold us to the answers.
