About The Burrows

The Burrows is a small residential care home in West Runton, near Cromer on the Norfolk coast, providing care for up to 10 residents. It specialises in supporting younger adults with learning disabilities. The home is operated by Liaise (East Anglia) Limited and is situated on Sandy Lane, offering a semi-rural location with access to the coastal town of Cromer.

The Care Quality Commission last inspected the home in October 2021, when it was rated as Requires Improvement. This rating indicates the home was not meeting all required standards at that time, though individual areas of care may have varied in their assessment. The small size of the home may offer a more personalised living environment compared to larger facilities, though this will depend on individual circumstances and needs.
