About De Lucy House
De Lucy House provides residential and dementia care for older people in Diss, with support focused on familiarity, dignity, routines and individual preferences. Its dementia provision uses smaller 15-bed units, secure external doors and keypad systems to create a calmer, more familiar setting.
The service also offers respite care and flexible trial stays, with personal care, meals and communal activities included during a stay. Before moving in, an assessment considers care needs and personal preferences to shape support. Flexible trial stays can help someone experience life at the home before making a longer-term decision.

Questions families ask
Can they arrange a trial or respite stay?
Yes. They offer respite care and flexible trial stays, including personal care, meals, laundry, housekeeping, activities and communal spaces.
What happens before someone moves into care?
The team assesses care needs, routines, preferences, health requirements and interests before creating a personalised care plan for the move.
What happens if personal funds run out?
Residents can be supported to stay in the home if personal funds run out, subject to the usual funding arrangements and assessments.
How is dementia care provided?
Dementia care is provided in smaller 15-bed units with secure doors, keypad systems, consistent routines and support shaped around each resident's life story and abilities.
How stable is the care team?
They provide care through familiar staff with minimal and often no reliance on agency workers. The Home Manager and many colleagues have been there since opening.
How much does De Lucy House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask De Lucy House for its weekly fee. As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,129 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
