About Sunnyside

Sunnyside is a small residential care home in Norfolk, offering a calm and homely setting where residents are treated as individuals. The team here takes genuine pride in the relationships they build with the people in their care, as well as with their families. If you are exploring care options in the area, Sunnyside aims to provide a warm and supportive place that residents can truly call home.

Sunnyside provides personal care to up to four younger people with learning disabilities, mental health conditions, or sensory impairments. During the inspection, two people were living there. The home's small size and village location are designed to help residents participate in their local community.

Since the last inspection, the service has made improvements, though further enhancements are needed. Areas requiring attention include risk management and infection prevention and control practices.
