About About with Friends
At About with Friends, we provide home care to people living in Cromer and the surrounding areas of Norfolk. Our work centres on supporting younger adults, including those with learning disabilities and autism, to live well in their own homes and on their own terms. We know that inviting someone into your home, or into the home of someone you love, is a big decision. That is why we take the time to get to know each person properly before anything else. Care that fits someone's actual life, their routines, their preferences, their sense of humour, tends to work far better than care built around a checklist. We try to keep things straightforward and honest, and we stay in close contact with the people we support and their families so that everyone feels informed and included. Our team works across Cromer and the wider Norfolk area, and we are proud to be a local presence in this community. Being based here means we understand the area and can respond quickly when people need us. It also means the relationships we build with the people we support are genuine and lasting rather than transactional. We are registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission, and our most recent inspection resulted in an overall rating of good. We take that seriously, not as a badge to display, but as a reflection of the work our team does every day. If you are looking for home care for yourself or a family member, particularly if there is a learning disability or autism involved, we would be glad to have a conversation. There is no pressure and no complicated process to get started. Just get in touch and we can talk through what you need and whether we might be the right fit.
