About Lincoln House Care Home

Lincoln House Care Home is a nursing home in Dereham, Norfolk, providing nursing and personal care for older people and for younger adults whose health needs go beyond what can reasonably be managed at home. We care for residents living with dementia, residents with mental health needs, residents with physical disabilities and residents with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays for shorter periods. Qualified nurses are part of our team, which means a resident whose health becomes complex or changeable does not have to move on again to get the care they need. We work closely with doctors, district nurses, mental health colleagues and therapists whenever someone's condition alters, and clinical care is given with the same regard for privacy and dignity as every other part of the day. With needs this varied we plan support one person at a time. Dementia care asks for familiarity and reassurance rather than correction, so we keep the day predictable and explain changes in advance. For residents with sensory loss we adapt how we communicate and how shared spaces are arranged. Mobility and independence are protected wherever they exist. Residents are asked about their history, their work, their family, their faith and their food, and the day is built from those answers. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
