About Cranmer House
Residential care, short-term care and day care are available at Cranmer House in Fakenham. The home supports older people, including those living with dementia, with private rooms, communal living areas and secluded gardens.
Short stays can support recovery, provide a break for a family carer or offer a trial before a longer-term decision. Care is shaped around routines, interests and friendships, while residents are encouraged to maintain independence. Cranmer House accepts state-funded and self-funded residents. It is not a secure dementia unit, so residents are free to come and go rather than living behind locked doors.
