About Shalimar

Shalimar is a small residential care home located on Beech Avenue in Taverham, a village north of Norwich. The home accommodates five residents and is operated by Calm Futures Norfolk Ltd. It provides care specifically for younger adults with learning disabilities, offering a focused approach to support tailored to this client group.

The home was rated Good by the Care Quality Commission following its most recent inspection in January 2019. Its small size means residents benefit from a more intimate setting compared to larger facilities. The Taverham location offers access to Norwich's amenities while maintaining a quieter residential environment.

This home may be particularly suitable for families seeking specialised care for a younger adult with learning disabilities who would benefit from a smaller, community-based setting.
