About Burlingham House

Burlingham House is a residential care home in Norwich. We support older people who need daily care, including many people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, and younger adults who need residential support. The house is meant to feel like a household rather than an institution, because for the people living here it is their home. People choose when to get up, what they eat and how to spend their days. With a mixed group under one roof, flexibility matters more than routine, so we work out what each person wants from their week and fit around it instead of running one timetable for everybody. For those living with dementia we keep things steady and unhurried, with familiar faces and meals at the times people expect them, which does more good than anything complicated. We also offer respite stays, for families who need a break or for someone recovering after a stay in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. We keep our own standards under review in between, because a rating describes one moment and people here need consistency. If you are looking for a place for yourself or a relative, please come and visit. Seeing the house and meeting the people in it will tell you far more than anything we can write.
