About Royal Mencap Society - 6 Lamberts (Foxglove)
Here at Royal Mencap Society 6 Lamberts (Foxglove), we are a care home based in Thetford, Norfolk, and we are proud to support a warm and welcoming community for the people who live with us. We support a broad range of individuals, including older people, younger adults, and those living with a learning disability or autism. We also offer respite care, which means families and carers can take a well earned break knowing their loved one is in a safe and comfortable environment. Whatever brings someone to our door, we aim to make sure they feel genuinely at home here. Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good, which reflects the consistent effort our team puts in every single day. We take that rating seriously, not as something to rest on, but as encouragement to keep listening, learning and improving. We believe that good care starts with truly knowing the people we support. That means understanding their routines, their preferences, what makes them laugh and what makes them feel settled. We take time to build real relationships, because trust is not something you can rush. Being part of the Royal Mencap Society means we are connected to one of the most respected organisations in the country when it comes to supporting people with a learning disability. That connection shapes our values and the standards we hold ourselves to each day. Thetford and the surrounding area of Norfolk is where we are rooted, and we feel that sense of place matters. We encourage links with the local community and want the people we support to feel connected to life beyond our front door as much as they wish to be.
