About House

Bungay House is a residential care home in Bungay, Norfolk. We are home to older people and to younger adults who need support with everyday life, including people living with dementia and people living with mental health conditions. The care we give is residential rather than nursing. Staff are here day and night to help with personal care, dressing, medication and meals and to keep the household running, while local doctors and district nurses look after clinical needs. For most people that combination works well and leaves their independence largely intact. Dementia care rests on consistency and on knowing the person. A day that runs in a familiar order, the same faces and surroundings that are easy to make sense of will settle somebody more reliably than any activity programme. We take time to learn about a person's working life, family and habits, because that is what helps us understand them when words become difficult. Supporting younger adults alongside older residents takes planning, and we build around the individual rather than assuming everybody wants the same week. Bungay is a pleasant town to live in and we help people get out into it. Respite and short stays are available. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring to arrange a visit.
