About Us

We at Larchwood Nursing and Residential Home offer a welcoming nursing home setting in Norwich, providing dedicated care for older people, adults living with dementia, and those requiring specialist nursing support across Norfolk.

Nestled within the NR postcode area, our home sits comfortably within the local Norwich community, offering residents the reassurance of familiar surroundings whilst benefiting from a purpose designed environment. The setting has been thoughtfully arranged to feel like a true home, where residents can enjoy communal spaces for socialising, quieter areas for reflection, and the everyday comforts that make daily life feel calm and secure.

Our care provision reflects the diverse needs of the people who choose to live with us. As a nursing home, we provide round the clock clinical support delivered by qualified nursing staff, which means families can feel confident that complex health needs are attended to with skill and compassion. For residents living with dementia, our approach centres on maintaining dignity, familiarity, and gentle routine, helping each person to feel understood and valued as an individual rather than defined by their diagnosis.

We also welcome younger adults and residents with physical disabilities, recognising that meaningful care extends far beyond age brackets. Every care plan is shaped around the person, taking into account their history, preferences, and aspirations. For families exploring shorter term options, our respite care offers a trusted place for loved ones to stay whilst carers take a well earned break, recover from illness, or simply enjoy peace of mind knowing their relative is in capable hands.

In practice, this breadth of specialism means families rarely need to move a loved one on as needs change. Whether someone joins us for residential support and later requires nursing input, or comes initially for respite and chooses to stay longer, continuity of relationships with staff and fellow residents remains at the heart of what we do. This stability matters enormously, particularly for those living with dementia, for whom familiar faces and consistent routines can make a profound difference to wellbeing.

Our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection, carried out in July 2021, resulted in an overall rating of Requires Improvement. We believe in being open about this. Within that inspection, we were rated Good in three important areas: Safe, Caring, and Well led. This means inspectors found that residents are protected from harm, treated with genuine kindness and respect, and that our leadership culture supports positive outcomes. The areas identified for improvement, Effective and Responsive, are ones we take seriously, and our team continues to work steadily to strengthen these aspects so that every element of the experience meets the standard our residents deserve.

Choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that responsibility. Questions, worries, and second thoughts are entirely natural, and we welcome every conversation with warmth and honesty. If you are considering Larchwood Nursing and Residential Home for yourself or someone you love, we would be delighted to speak with you, answer your questions, and arrange a visit so you can experience the atmosphere of our Norwich home for yourself. Please do reach out whenever you feel ready.
