About Cromwell House
Cromwell House provides residential and short-term respite care for older people in Norwich. The home is registered for older people’s care without nursing, making it suited to residents seeking daily personal support and companionship rather than a registered nursing service.
It forms part of MHA, a not-for-profit charity with care homes and support services for older people. MHA describes timely assessments and care tailored to individual needs, with any surplus reinvested into its services. Cromwell House therefore combines local residential accommodation with the resources of a wider charitable provider, giving families a clear route into permanent care or a shorter respite stay.
