About St Edmunds Residential Home

St Edmunds Residential Home brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to the heart of Norfolk, offering families a reassuring place to turn when looking for caring, personal support for their loved ones. The home has a genuine community feel, where residents are treated as individuals and those close to them are made to feel welcome from the very first visit.

St Edmunds accommodates up to 39 people requiring personal care across three floors, with outside space available for residents and visitors. The home demonstrated strong infection control practices, implementing comprehensive visitor checks and maintaining adequate supplies of PPE that staff used appropriately. Staff had completed relevant training and people were tested regularly for COVID-19, with the option to self-administer tests.

The registered manager engaged residents in understanding infection control measures, and staff worked together to support people's wellbeing. Inspectors observed positive interactions between staff and residents throughout the home.
