About Lindum

Lindum is a residential care home in Norwich. We support adults who have a learning disability or autism, people living with mental ill health and people with physical disabilities, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. What we are aiming for is an ordinary life with the right support behind it. People here have their own rooms and their own belongings, they decide how their week is spent, and they are supported to do things for themselves wherever possible rather than having things done to them. Cooking, shopping, managing money, travelling about, keeping up work or college and staying in touch with family matter more than anything written on a form. Our team takes time to learn how each person communicates, including those who do not use speech, and we record what we learn so that everyone supports somebody in the same way. Where physical disabilities are involved we make sure the equipment and the practical help are right, so that support with moving and personal care is safe, comfortable and dignified. When life becomes difficult we look for the cause rather than the label and plan ahead with the person about what actually helps. We work alongside GPs, community mental health teams, social workers and families and we keep everyone informed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please visit, meet the team and talk to the people who live here before making any decision.
