About Brackendale House

Brackendale House is a residential care home in Sheringham, Norfolk. We support older people who need help with daily life, adults with mental health needs and younger adults, and we work with people affected by alcohol or drug misuse. We also offer respite stays. We support a mixed group of people here, and it works because we plan with each person individually and we do not judge anyone for how they arrived. Somebody rebuilding after a difficult period needs something quite different from an older resident who simply cannot manage alone any more, and both should be able to live here on their own terms. Everyone decides their own basics. When to get up, what to eat, whether they want company or their own room and their own company. Personal care, where it is needed, is given quietly and at the person's pace. Where someone has mental health needs, we agree in advance what a difficult patch looks like for them and what they would like us to do, so nobody is improvising at the worst moment. Where somebody is working on their relationship with alcohol or drugs, we support the plan they have chosen rather than lecture them about it. Health needs are dealt with alongside local GPs and community teams. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. Please come and visit us in Sheringham.
