About West Wood Care Home

West Wood Care Home is in Sheringham, and we provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia, for residents with a physical disability or with sight and hearing loss, and for some younger adults whose needs suit a home like ours. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals and whatever else has become hard to manage, and we try to leave people in charge of everything else. Residents decide when they get up and go to bed, where they sit, what they eat and whether they want company or a quiet room with the door shut. For residents living with dementia we keep the surroundings familiar and the staff consistent, explain what is happening as we go and take time to work out what is behind a change in mood. Where somebody has a physical disability the right equipment is in place and staff are trained to help with moving safely and comfortably. For residents with sight or hearing loss we adapt how we communicate and do not rearrange things without saying so. Being close to the north Norfolk coast matters to many of our residents, and getting out for some air is part of ordinary life here rather than a special outing. Respite stays are available for family carers needing a break or for somebody regaining strength after illness. Please ring us if you would like to visit and look round properly.
