About Harker House
Here at Harker House, we provide residential care for older people in a warm and homely setting in the heart of Norwich, Norfolk. Our team genuinely cares about the people who live with us, and we work hard every day to make sure that each resident feels safe, comfortable and valued as an individual. We support people with a range of needs, including dementia care and short term respite stays for those who need a break from their usual routine or whose families need some time to rest. Whether someone comes to us for a few weeks or makes Harker House their long term home, we treat every person with the same respect and attention. We are proud to hold a "good" rating from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the effort our team puts in and the standards we hold ourselves to. That rating matters to us not as a badge but as a signal to families that they can trust us with the people they love most. Life at Harker House is built around the people who live here. We take time to get to know each resident, understanding what they enjoy, what matters to them and how they like their day to look. From meals to activities to quiet moments, we try to create an environment where people can continue to live life on their own terms. Choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we never take that lightly. If you would like to find out more about what we offer or come in for a look around, we would be very happy to welcome you. Norwich is our home too, and we are proud to be part of this community.
