Care that counts

Deciding that you need more care and support can be difficult.

What’s right for you will depend on your individual requirements and circumstances. There are a range of options available to someone looking for accommodation in later life.

All of our residents have a tailored care plan, designed just for them, with the aim of maximising their independence.

Residential care

Our residential care provides meals and help with personal care such as dressing, supervision of medication, companionship and someone on call at night. The experienced carers are supported by GP Matrons that visit the home on regular basis. District Nurses support us with any individual’s specific needs.

Specialist dementia care

As dementia affects a person’s mental abilities, maintaining independence can be a real challenge. We are committed to caring for our dementia patients with dignity in our dedicated dementia care wing. Our home puts resident’s safety first, and has the facilities to cope with the wide spectrum of symptoms and behaviours that a person with dementia may have.

Palliative care

Our palliative and end of life care enables our residents to remain in a familiar environment, surrounded by people who know and care for them. District nurses support this care. Families are able to stay with their loved ones at this difficult time, where a homely environment is often of great comfort.

Our Dementia Unit

Our Dementia Care Strategy ensures our care of those with a diagnosis of dementia is empathetic, consistent and nurturing, towards the resident of the home and the families. Our dedicated team of dementia care staff and leaders have the most up to date knowledge and attitude in the care that each resident receives.

Creating a holistic, person-centred approach to each individual’s care is paramount to ensuring that their care and emotional needs are met.

Our team works tirelessly to ensure that all residents of the Pickenham Suite work collaboratively with the appropriate Health Teams (such as the Community Nursing teams, Dementia Intensive Support Teams and Mental Health Teams) in the Breckland area.

Respite (short term) care

A stay with us doesn’t have to be permanent. Some people choose to visit us for a few weeks to give a carer a break, or to build up strength after an illness. We’re always happy to talk with you about your options.
