About Honeysuckle Cottage

Honeysuckle Cottage is a residential care home in Norwich. We support older people needing help with daily living, adults who have a learning disability, autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with a physical disability and people whose sight or hearing is impaired. We also support some younger adults. Support here is planned around the individual rather than a house routine everybody has to fit. We find out how somebody wants their day to run, what tends to help when things are difficult and who we should contact, and we treat that knowledge as the substance of the care. We want to be open about where we stand. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are working through the points raised, with attention to record keeping, staff supervision and the consistency of care planning, and we would rather set that out ourselves and answer your questions than have you find it elsewhere. Families are part of that work because they can tell whether things have genuinely changed. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Families across Norfolk are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
