About Halvergate House
Halvergate House is a nursing home in North Walsham, Norfolk, caring for people whose health needs require nursing support alongside help with everyday life. We care for older adults with ongoing conditions, managing medication, nutrition, skin care, pain and comfort while helping with washing, dressing and moving about in a way that leaves as much as possible in the resident's own hands. Dementia care is a significant part of our work and rests on familiar staff, a settled routine and taking the time to learn what reassures each individual. We support residents with a learning disability or autism whose health needs require nursing care, and residents with physical disabilities, adapting how we assist so that dignity is not the price of safety. We also care for younger adults, planning their days around their own interests. Respite stays are available for families needing a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We would sooner tell you that ourselves than let you find it later and wonder what else went unsaid. The areas identified are where our effort is concentrated, and we are glad to discuss them with anyone considering the home.
