About Strawberry Field

Strawberry Field is a residential care home in Norwich supporting adults with a learning disability and autistic adults. We are here to help people live the life they choose, with as much or as little support as that takes, and we try hard not to let the practicalities of care crowd out the ordinary business of having a life. Support here starts with the person. Some people we support want a full and busy week, with college, work, volunteering or regular time with friends and family. Others prefer a quieter rhythm and plenty of familiarity. Both are fine. What matters is that the plan belongs to the person it is about, that it is written in language they can understand and use, and that it changes when they change their mind. We pay close attention to communication. Being understood is the foundation of everything else, so we take time to learn how each person tells us what they want, whether that is through speech, signing, objects, pictures or simply the things they do. Norwich gives us plenty to work with beyond the front door, and getting out into the city is part of normal life rather than a scheduled activity. We also provide respite, offering families a planned and properly prepared short stay rather than an emergency arrangement. The Care Quality Commission rated us Good at our most recent inspection. We are pleased with that and clear that it reflects the everyday work of the team rather than anything exceptional on the day. Visitors are always welcome, and we would rather you came and saw for yourself.
