Respite care at Cromwell House

Respite care, also known as short-term or short-stay care, is a temporary living arrangement at a care home. It gives both carers, and those being cared for, a bit of time off and a chance to recharge their batteries.

At Cromwell House, we offer residential respite care. Everyone staying with us for a respite break will receive personalised care, tailored to their individual needs. They’ll have their own furnished room and be encouraged to take part in the life of our home and the many activities on offer.

Where are we?

Cromwell House is situated a short walk from the centre of Norwich, in a quiet residential area. Buses to the city centre are just a short walk away, making it easy to access shopping, cafes and local attractions including the beautiful Norwich Cathedral.

The pretty, well-maintained landscaped garden is the perfect spot to spend time with friends and family and our beautiful summer house enables residents to get out in all weathers should they wish.

Chaplaincy and pastoral support

Cromwell House is proud to be supported by a dedicated Chaplain who offers pastoral support to all, whatever their beliefs. Our chaplain provides a listening presence, companionship and one-to-one pastoral support for all residents, their friends and relatives, and staff members - irrespective of their beliefs - and organise worship for those who wish to participate. Where appropriate, residents are encouraged to maintain links with local faith communities.
