About Olive House
We at Olive House are proud to offer warm, dedicated residential care in the heart of Norwich, Norfolk. As a residential care home specialising in older person care, we provide a nurturing environment where every resident is treated with the dignity, respect, and compassion they deserve. Nestled within the NR postcode area of Norwich, our home benefits from its setting in one of the East of England's most beloved cathedral cities. Residents can enjoy the gentle rhythms of local life whilst being cared for in familiar, homely surroundings. Norwich itself offers a wonderful blend of historic charm and community spirit, and our location allows families to visit with ease, maintaining those precious connections that mean so much. Our care is thoughtfully tailored to meet the needs of older adults, whether they require ongoing residential support or a shorter stay through our respite care provision. For families seeking a safe, comfortable place for a loved one whilst carers take a well earned break, or for those exploring longer term options, we offer continuity, kindness, and a genuine sense of belonging. Respite care can also serve as a gentle introduction to residential living, giving both residents and their families time to settle in and feel confident about the future. Day to day, our approach centres on the individual. We take time to understand each resident's history, preferences, and routines, ensuring that care feels personal rather than prescribed. From companionship and social activities to help with daily living, our aim is always to promote independence and wellbeing whilst providing the reassurance of attentive, round the clock support. Olive House holds an overall rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, following our most recent inspection in November 2019. The CQC recognised us as Good across the Safe, Caring, Responsive, and Well-led domains, with Effective rated as Requires Improvement. We take these findings seriously and remain committed to continual learning and improvement, whilst celebrating the strengths that make our home a caring and responsive place to live. For families, this rating offers reassurance that our practices have been independently reviewed and that we are dedicated to upholding high standards. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. If you are considering residential or respite care in Norwich for a loved one, we warmly invite you to get in touch, ask questions, and discover whether Olive House could be the right home for your family. We are here to listen, to guide, and to welcome you whenever you are ready.
