Seccombe Court is such an amazing place. The staff consistently show high levels of care and compassion, with patient needs always being met, they go above and beyond to ensure every need is met. The facilities are excellent as are the activities to keep minds stimulated and plenty of interaction if needed. The team are also incredibly welcoming to every visitor.
Seccombe Court has an excellent team of staff who are friendly, caring and helpful. The care home is in a good location with a nice garden and accommodates different levels of care according to need.
The staff at Seccombe Court are without exception excellent. My brother made the difficult transition to Insulin dependency during this month involving nighttime visits from the staff to measure sugar levels etc. The care and compassion of the staff made this much easier than anticipated and together with their cooperation, a change in diet too has resulted in a great drop in his previously high sugar levels. My brother is now in a better situation both mentally and physically.
Hi, Anne, Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences of Seccombe Court. The team work hard to achieve the high standards they set themselves and it is welcome to hear that this results in a positive experience for the residents and their families. Kind Regards.
My father is very mixed up and very difficult at times. He is extremely well looked after, always clean and tidy and several of the staff defiantly go the extra mile and beyond.
Hi, Tony, Thank you for your feedback. The team at Seccombe Court take great pride in ensuring they deliver high-quality care to the residents. We are pleased to hear that it makes a difference. We will be sure to feed it back to the team. Kind Regards.
Seccombe Court is an outstanding care home. My husband was beautifully looked after in the happy atmosphere at Daisy Meadow, where the Nurses and Carers treated him with respect and enormous kindness. The GP must also be congratulated when he went out of his way to explain medical details to us as my husband was nearing the end of his life, and the staff could not have been more supportive during his final days.
My father moved to Seccombe Court shortly before his death, as I was becoming increasingly concerned about his health and well-being whilst living alone in Norfolk. The care and support the team on Daisy Meadow offered were second to none. Not only was Dad adopted into the home, but the support I was given was also exceptional. No one could have foreseen that my father would pass so suddenly, and the care and compassion the entire staff demonstrated was very well received.
The staff at Seccombe Court looked after my mother with great care and compassion during her stay there. She was very elderly and found the transition from living on her own difficult, but the staff tried very hard to make her comfortable and provide her with everything she needed. They are friendly and approachable and were very patient with Mum as they tried to help her settle in. The building and gardens are modern and well cared for, and the location on the edge of the village with plenty of parking is most convenient. I would definitely recommend it.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. It is good to hear that the high standards we strive for have a positive impact. We really enjoyed looking after your mum and she will be greatly missed. We will feed back your kind words to the staff team, we know they will value them.
The staff at Seccombe Court provide outstanding care for my mother. She is treated with dignity and respect at all times. The team are unfailingly supportive of her and our family. This level of care applies on a daily basis, but during a recent severe illness, my mother was given the highest possible level of care, love and attention by all of the staff - we truly believe that this saved her life. The leadership of the management team of Seccombe Court is significant in the provision of such high levels of care, and we have absolute confidence in the team.
Hi Gill, thank you so much for your kind words. The staff team work incredibly hard to maintain our high standards, and it is very rewarding when this is recognised. We shall be sure to pass this on to everyone.
My mother was cared for by the exceptional staff at Seccombe Court following a severe stroke which left her severely physically disabled. She required a high level of care and it was administered with kindness and her dignity was respected at all times. The advice I received was first class and the warmth that we both experienced was ever present. They have an extremely tough job and they perform it with skill and a smile. My mother’s visitors were always made welcome and more often than not a cuppa and cake is on offer. The food is excellent, as are the facilities and activities. Dogs are considered VIPs!
Seccombe Court is now home to my 101 year old Aunt. Fabulous treatment, beautiful surroundings. Excellent care and facilities. The staff are very caring, considerate, thoughtful with good management. We look forward to seeing you all again when next we visit Aunty.
Hi, Stephen. Thank you so much for your kind words. We are delighted to have your aunty here and so pleased you are satisfied with the home and the care we provide. We look forward to seeing you when you are next in.
Every single time that I have visited I have been welcomed by the staff. Nothing has been too much for them. They were considerate to my friend, and very patient with her. When she passed away they were respectful and so very caring to both her and myself. I am truly grateful for their kindness and support. I would thoroughly recommend the home to anybody. It is worth every single penny.
Hi Toni, thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. At Seccombe Court we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. It was a pleasure to care for your friend and she will be missed....
Seccombe Court has the feel of staying at a hotel. The standard of care, facilities and accommodation is very high. The staff are very caring and thoughtful and they treat residents with respect, and there is always a hug and a smile. There is good consistency of staff on the dementia unit which I believe is important for those with dementia. The variety of activities is excellent and even if Mum doesn’t remember what she has done, she remembers the way it makes her feel.
Hi. Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted you feel your mum is well cared for at Seccombe Court and enjoys the activities on offer. The team work hard to achieve this, so it is lovely to be able to pass on such positive feedback.
Both my parents are in Seccombe Court and love being there. During their stay, there have been ups and downs in their health, and they, my brother and sisters and I have found the staff caring, considerate and professional. We are very happy that both our parents have settled in and made Seccombe Court their home.
Thank you.
The team at Seccombe Court continue to offer considerate, competent and thoughtful care. The home is well looked after, consistently welcoming with a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The staff seem to work as a team and show genuine interest in their residents. I feel reassured that my father is comfortable, cheerful and well cared for.
I cannot praise the staff at Seccombe too highly, from the kitchen staff and laundry staff to care assistants and nursing staff, reception team and management; the treatment my dad has received has been exemplary. Dad has multiple co-morbidities, but the staff treat him with respect and dignity at all times. One of my biggest concerns was about continuity of care, Dad likes to build a relationship with his caregivers, but at Seccombe, I need not have worried. Dad has a regular team who looks after him, and he has built a strong and honest relationship with each member of staff. This is important, as elderly folk need to feel safe and reassured - Seccombe provides this constantly. The activities arranged are varied and not demeaning or childish but more embracing the knowledge and experience of the residents. If a problem does arise, for example, a dietary need - it is swiftly and promptly dealt with in a professional and responsive manner. Seccombe has worked their magic for my wonderful dad.
My father has been a resident at Seccombe Court for three months. The home is superb. The staff could not be kinder or more caring. Every department does its utmost to make his life there happy, comfortable and stimulated. He and I are very pleased with everything. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
My mother has been a resident at Seccombe for four months now and has physical and medical issues, as well as accelerating dementia. Since a significant hospital stay a couple of months ago, her condition has become more challenging. The staff have done all they can to support and respond to her changing needs. The care staff are extremely patient and encouraging when she is being uncooperative, emotional and distressed. We are very grateful for the kindness and professionalism of the care she receives and the friendly welcome that we experience every time we visit.
From my initial contact with Seccombe Court, I felt I was in safe and competent hands in respect of caring service to my mother. Everyone I spoke to and met gave me confidence that the Court would look after my mother very well. On my first visit, I was impressed by the facilities throughout the home, including the garden areas which my mother would be able to enjoy. I was also pleased to see that the home would provide a range of activities in which my mother could participate. Whilst my mother's stay at the Court was sadly short, I was not let down in any respect, given my initial views. I met a number of members of staff who had dealings with my mother and who, without fail, went out of their way to care for her in a compassionate, respectful and professional manner. It is an exceptional organisation.
Management is professional and friendly, and all the team at Seccombe Court are exceptional at what they do. The carers and nurses are very friendly, compassionate and responsive to the needs of my father, who is in full nursing care. They are very communicative and on the ball when providing care and ensuring Dad is well looked after.
The environment is comfortable, rooms are a good size and well set up, whilst the food seems excellent.

Meet the Team (1)

I’ve been a General Manager for over ten years in other care homes. I worked my way up from care roles into management. I originally trained in management and marketing in my native Poland.
I was very positive about working for Care UK because it has a great reputation, and puts residents at the heart of everything it does. Its values of Caring, Passionate and Teamwork closely echo my own.
There’s always something new to learn and to tackle in this role, but there’s a solution to every challenge and, ultimately, seeing residents enjoying life here at Seccombe Court is what makes everything worthwhile. Knowing I’m making a positive impact on their lives is what motivates me. I’m very proud of the way the team delivers exceptional care to all residents and their loved ones. Seeing that every day makes Seccombe Court an amazing place to work.
