About Ashill Lodge Care Home

Ashill Lodge Care Home is a residential home in Thetford, Norfolk, looking after older people who need support with daily living. Much of our work is with residents living with dementia. We keep the house calm and familiar, give people time rather than hurrying them through the day, and make sure that staff know each resident's history and habits, because that knowledge is what turns a set of tasks into care that actually fits the person. Residents bring their own belongings, keep their own routines, choose how they spend the day and see visitors when they like. Meals are planned around what people genuinely enjoy, and there is somewhere quiet for anyone who would rather be out of the company. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places, whether for a planned family break or for support while somebody regains strength after illness. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would sooner say so ourselves than leave you to find it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified, we have an improvement plan in place and we are working through it with our staff team. Ask us about it directly and we will give you a straight answer. The only real way to judge a home is to walk through it. Please come at a time that suits you and talk to residents and their families.
