About Casarita

Casarita is a residential care home in Norwich. We support older people who need help through the day and adults with a learning disability, including autistic adults and younger adults. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. We should raise our rating ourselves rather than let you discover it. The Care Quality Commission last rated us requires improvement overall. We accept the finding instead of arguing with it. An inspection records what was there on the day, and putting it right is our job. There is an action plan, the people who commission care from us know exactly where we have reached with it, and any family considering us is welcome to go through the detail with the manager. What we are trying to be is a home rather than an institution. Because we support a mix of older adults and adults with a learning disability, we do not run the house to one timetable. Some people here go out to college, work or a club during the week. Others prefer the quiet of their own room and the garden. Both are reasonable, and we work out what each person's day ought to look like rather than offering a programme and hoping it suits. Come and visit, ask the uncomfortable questions, and talk to the people who live here as well as to us.
