About Bishop Herbert House

We are Bishop Herbert House, a residential care home in Norwich. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Respite stays are available. That is a wide range of needs living under one roof, and it only works if we plan properly. Somebody who wants a sociable, busy day and somebody who needs quiet and an entirely predictable routine can both live well here, provided we pay attention to who needs what and when. So we ask, we observe, and we adapt rather than running everyone to the same timetable. The help itself covers personal care, medication, meals and mobility, and we give proper attention to access and communication where those matter. We are just as concerned with supporting what people can still do themselves, because independence lost unnecessarily is very hard to get back. Families and friends are welcome at any reasonable hour, and we keep relatives informed rather than waiting to be asked. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round.
