About The Beeches

The Beeches is a residential care home in Norwich, Norfolk, providing a permanent home for adults who need care and support with everyday life. We are a household first, and how we run the place follows from that rather than from any timetable of ours. Our care is residential rather than nursing. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals, mobility and company, calling in community health professionals whenever something more clinical is needed. Many of the people living here have dementia, and we put our effort into the quiet things that actually help: familiar staff who know a person's history, a routine that stays where it is, food that is recognisable and reassurance repeated as often as it is wanted. We also support younger adults, and we plan around what they want from their lives rather than assuming their days should look like anybody else's. Respite stays are available too, giving family carers a genuine break and letting a prospective resident spend time here before anything permanent is settled. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of it, and clear eyed about the fact that it describes what was found at one point and has to be lived up to every day since. Please visit and see for yourself.
