About Doughtys
We at Doughtys are proud to be a trusted home care agency supporting older people across Norwich and the wider Norfolk area. Our mission is simple: to help those we care for continue living safely, comfortably and independently in the place they love most, their own home. Based in the NR postcode area, our team is ideally positioned to reach families throughout Norwich and the surrounding communities. Rather than asking loved ones to leave familiar surroundings, we bring compassionate, personalised care directly to their front door, fitting our visits around the rhythms of each individual's daily life. From the comfort of a favourite armchair to the garden they have tended for years, every home becomes the setting for the warm, respectful care we provide. Our specialism lies in supporting older people through tailored home care, recognising that no two people share the same needs, preferences or routines. For some, this might mean a friendly morning visit to assist with washing, dressing and breakfast. For others, it could involve medication prompts, help with mobility, support at mealtimes, or a reassuring presence during the evening. We work closely with each individual and their family to build a care plan that genuinely reflects what matters most, whether that is maintaining cherished hobbies, staying connected with loved ones, or simply enjoying a cup of tea and a chat. For families, this means peace of mind, knowing that a kind, capable carer is checking in on someone they love and that lines of communication remain open and honest. We are pleased to be rated Good by the Care Quality Commission across every domain assessed, including Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well led, following our most recent inspection. This independent recognition reflects the standards we hold ourselves to every single day: that the people we support feel safe in our hands, that our care delivers meaningful outcomes, that our team treats every person with genuine warmth and dignity, that we respond thoughtfully to changing needs, and that our organisation is guided by strong, attentive leadership. Choosing care for a loved one is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the worries that often come with it. If you are exploring home care options in Norwich or the wider Norfolk area, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch to learn more about how we can support your family with care that is as individual as the person receiving it.
