I have been a close friend of a resident since we met in The Salvation Army in Sheringham where we were both soldiers - also we were both nurses. The resident was living in a housing association flat in Sherignham with minimal care - not appropriate to her needs - what a relief it was when her social worker found Dorrington House - I visit her several times a week and can't fault anything! If I need care this would be my first choice! Thank you for the care she receives!

Skeleton staff on Sunday. Clean throughout and tidy, with a really nice friendly atmosphere. Nice carers, all very friendly; my husband seems happy here and warm. If he's happy that's what it's all about.

My mum has been at Dorrington House for nearly 2 years. The care and kindness she receives is excellent. My mum is happy and well cared for by the staff. I feel supported too when things get overwhelming. I honestly don't know where we would be without the staff here.
