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!

I am a volunteer for the church and visit monthly and join in other times with activities. I am always impressed with the happiness of the residents the staff always attending to their needs and going above and beyond to join in the fun and activities. We love singing all together and it's a great
atmosphere. I would recommend Dorrington House to anyone and would send my relatives here.

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.

As soon as you walk into the care home, it definitely feels like a home, and not like a glorified hotel. Receptionist and manager were extremely helpful and very welcoming. All areas were clean, lots of different areas residents could go to, and a lovely outside space, lots of activities on offer
too. Best home that I have visited, and with great staff would highly recommend.

I cannot fault the care my mother and father have received from Dorrington House. I am always kept informed and regularly updated regarding their care, medications etc. The staff are amazing always exhibiting care and compassion towards the residents and indeed toward other family members. The
atmosphere in the home is always happy and there is always something going on in the form of entertainment, activities or outings which the residents are all encouraged to engage in. I am so grateful to all at Dorrington House for looking after my parents so diligently.
