My dear old Mum had to make the move from her own home to residential care recently. Having visited a few schemes local to our area I was struck by the warmth that met me on my first and subsequent visits made to Norwood House prior to the move.
My mum has been at Norwood for just over two weeks
now, she had been made welcome and settled into a completely new world. There seems to be a good routine, she speaks highly of the carers and food.
There is great excitement around planned relocation of the in-house hair salon, nail bar and extension of one of the lounge areas with a light and airy conservatory.
I look forward to seeing how mums next chapter of life at Norwood House unfolds.

Everyone is very helpful and the home is very clean, nothing is too much trouble. The residents are well looked after, the entertainment is excellent and the food is amazing. You couldn't ask for a better place for your loved ones.

that,he is treated very well,as I know he can be challenging, they have a hairdresser,a salon where the ladies can get there nails done and entertainment at the weekend, ,the TV room, a lot of different areas to go in,for them,to me it's like a 5 star hotel, nothing is to much trouble for the staff, excellent, I would highly recommend Norwood house,in Saxmundham,for a loved one to live in.

We are very lucky that we found Norwood House, it is an ideal setting for Mum, they always have so much going on and the staff are fab. We have never had any concerns and they always keep us updated about whats going on. The level of care and compassion is excellent and all the residents seem happy

Overall we are happy with Norwood House and the care our auntie is getting. When we have had concerns these have been dealt with satisfactorily. Our auntie has very advanced dementia so cannot communicate or join in with activities but when we have visited the other residents seem to be enjoying the
entertainment

The manager and the team at Norwood House make a comfortable and jolly environment that makes a compfortable place for my friend to live. He is given a good level of independance and ability to participate in the many activities on their weekly and seasonal calander.

We cannot thank Norwood house enough by the way in which my mum is looked after. The staff are all lovely & keep us informed of anything that she needs. The entertainment & food looks very good even though mum her self doesn't join in & is more of a picker when it comes to food. The home has a good
social media page & keep us informed by email what is going on. We have no complaints what so ever .

The staff at Norwood House is amazing, always willing to help. They are very caring of all residents and their families. They support the residents in numerous activities, they have a large range of different foods, etc. I visit many homes due to my work, and I can say it's the best I have been to.

We were greeted by very polite staff at entrance and polite staff in the living room. Norwood House is very well located. Mr Shanks can be difficult but staff seem to have a lot of patience, we also get regular updates on how he is doing.

The care home is in a beautiful setting and has a nice feel to it, lovely group seating areas and also quiet areas too.
Thank you.

My mum has been given the utmost care in the seven years she has been at Norwood House. To date, she is unable to walk anywhere so takes her meals in the lounge. There are days when I visit that her finger nails are dirty & hair needs washing, so I wish that could be taken care of more frequently.
Apart from that, she appears quite happy.
