About Mayflower Court

Mayflower Court is a residential care home in Norfolk, offering a calm and supportive environment for older people and their families. The team there understands how important it is to feel confident that your loved one is in good hands, and they work to bring a sense of warmth and familiarity to daily life. For families exploring care options in the area, it can be reassuring to find a home that takes its responsibilities seriously and continues to work toward the best possible experience for residents.

Mayflower Court is a large residential care home with capacity for up to 80 people, currently supporting 28 residents. The service cares for older people living with dementia or experiencing physical difficulties. The purpose-built facility spans two floors across four separate units, with a central courtyard garden.

At inspection, only the two ground floor units were in use.

The management and quality assurance system had been effective at identifying concerns, though not all identified issues had been resolved at the time of inspection. The provider believed that appointing a new permanent manager would help address outstanding matters.
