About Mayflower Court

Mayflower Court is a residential care home in Norwich, offering older people a comfortable place to live with support close at hand. We try to keep the feel of a household, with days shaped by the people living them rather than by a schedule on the wall. Supporting residents living with dementia is a substantial part of what we do. We approach it by learning who somebody is and still is, keeping the day familiar and unhurried, giving notice before anything changes, and treating distress as something with a cause rather than as behaviour to be contained. Our team helps with personal care, medication, mobility and meals, and equally with company, fresh air, music and conversation for those who want them. Relatives are welcome whenever they can come, and we would much rather people dropped in informally than felt they needed to arrange it. Respite stays are available for people needing care for a short period. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Requires Improvement. We prefer to say that plainly at the outset. We understood the findings, we have been working through them, and we are happy to go through the detail with any family who asks. Please come and visit at an ordinary hour and judge us on what you actually see.
