About Us

Lydia Eva Court is a residential care home in Great Yarmouth. We are home to older people, including many living with dementia, and respite stays are part of what we do.

We try to run an ordinary household rather than a rota. People wake when they wake, eat when they are hungry, and an afternoon with nothing arranged in it is a perfectly good afternoon. There is a tendency in this sector to mistake activity for quality and we work at avoiding it.

Dementia care here depends on knowing the person. We ask relatives early for the working life, the places and the music, because that information is much harder to gather later and it is what still connects when a good deal else has gone.

Many of our residents have lived on this coast all their lives and know it far better than we do, which makes for conversation worth having rather than filling with small talk.

The Care Quality Commission rates us good overall. Relatives who visit often notice what we have stopped seeing, and we would rather they told us plainly than be polite about it.
