About The Gables

The Gables is a residential care home in Norwich. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults and people managing mental health conditions. Respite stays are available. Supporting people with quite different needs in one house only works if nobody is treated as a category. We take each person as they come, learn how they want their day to go and build support around that. Some residents want company and occupation from breakfast onwards. Others want quiet and predictability. There is room here for both. The house is run with the people in it rather than around them. Residents choose how their rooms look, what they eat, how they spend their time and what part they play in the household, and cooking, shopping and laundry are things people do with support where they can. Communication takes different forms here and we learn each person's, whether speech, signing, pictures, objects or the particular way somebody shows they have had enough. For autistic residents we keep routines stable and give notice of change well in advance. Supporting mental health needs means patience and consistency, and working alongside community teams rather than separately from them. We involve families and advocates as much as each person wants, and we hold regular residents meetings where things can genuinely be raised. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
