About John Turner House
We are John Turner House, a residential care home in Lowestoft. We support older people, including those living with dementia, and we also care for younger adults and for people with a learning disability or who are autistic. Respite stays are available for planned short breaks and for people who need support while they get back on their feet. Life here is built around the individual rather than the rota. People decide when to get up, what to do with the day and how their room looks, and our staff help with washing, dressing, mobility, medication and meals at a pace that suits the person. We spend time learning what each resident wants to keep doing for themselves, because taking over is easy and rarely helpful. For people living with dementia we keep routines steady, use familiar objects and photographs, and follow the person's own sense of the day rather than correcting it. For adults with a learning disability or who are autistic, we learn how each person communicates, what helps when things become too much, and how they want to spend their time, and we support them to keep up interests, work, education and friendships beyond the front door. Lowestoft, the coast and people's local connections all feature in life here. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and families and professionals are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
