We offer residential, nursing and specialist dementia care in Norfolk. Since 1999, our family-owned business has been helping the people of Norfolk and beyond to make the most of later life, offering specialist care, support and high quality accommodation throughout our family of care homes and assisted living developments.
People not patients
We believe in people, not patients. We provide everything our residents need in the widest sense: considerate care, a fulfilling life and support for their friends and families. We build relationships with every resident finding out about their lives, their interests, their likes and dislikes so that we can help them live their lives the way they choose to.
Dedicated staff
The heart of our service is 24-hour residential and nursing care with dedicated, well trained staff. Our carers receive rigorous training and are passionate about caring - treating residents as if they are their own family. Everyone who lives at a Castlemeadow home is recognised as an individual who is entitled to respect, dignity, love, fun and laughter in a homely, safe environment.
Personalised support
Lifestyle
A home away from home – our care homes provide a high quality of life for residents. Where you live is your home, and as such we personalise each day to individual needs and try our upmost to meet any wishes because we believe in making the most of later life.
We empower our residents to lead a life that is as independent, happy and as active as possible. This may be through enjoying the variety of events we regularly host or daily activities, where we hope residents will feel enthusiastic, passionate and optimistic as they make new memories and foster new friendships. We always encourage family and friends to visit and be part of our community.
Food
Our kitchen teams work hard to ensure that consideration is always given to each resident’s preferences, special diets and religious beliefs. Drinks and snacks are available 24 hours a day offering fresh fruit, homemade cakes and pastries. Our dining areas provide a relaxing, sociable environment and loved ones are openly welcomed to join us at mealtimes.
Activities
We provide a regular activities schedule that is freely displayed in communal areas. We take residents preferences into account and enjoy regular performances by local entertainers. Special events take place on recognised holidays like Burns Night and Valentines Day and there is plenty of seasonal events too, for example in summer our residents can enjoy barbecues and fetes. Each of our homes have dedicated activity coordinators ensuring wherever possible individuals wishes and interests are met.
Giving back
Castlemeadow Care is passionate about being part of the wider community. On a local level we actively sponsor a variety of great causes. These include local school sporting events and most recently being a sponsor for gogo hares 2018 working in partnership with Break. We also regularly have school students visit to interact with our residents and to provide invaluable work experience placements.
Our St John’s House care home is built on the site of an old school called St John’s Primary School, we wanted to continue to support education of a younger generation and decided to reincarnate the school on other side of the world, now St John's House school in Sierra Leone is up and running.
