About Halvergate House

Halvergate House is a nursing care home in Norfolk, offering a place where older people and their families can feel genuinely supported during what can be a significant life transition. The team there understands how much it matters to find somewhere that feels safe and caring, and they work to create an environment where residents can feel at home.

Halvergate House provides nursing and personal care for up to 50 older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, physical disabilities, learning disabilities, or autistic spectrum disorder. At inspection, 36 people were using the service. The home occupies an adapted building across two floors, accessible by lift or stairs, with courtyard and garden spaces available to residents.

Ground floor rooms feature patio doors opening onto the garden, and all rooms have ensuite toilets.

The home's quality assurance monitoring systems were found to be ineffective in maintaining and improving standards.
