Questions families ask
Can residents bring their own furniture to Nightingale Lodge?
Yes. Residents are welcome to bring furniture and belongings such as beds, wardrobes and pictures to make their room feel homely.
Are there set visiting hours at Nightingale Lodge?
No. Visiting is not restricted because the homes are staffed 24 hours a day, and family and friends can join residents for dinner at no extra charge.
Can residents bring pets to Nightingale Lodge?
Yes, the homes are pet friendly, but each pet is assessed individually and admission can be refused if there is a risk to people or the animal.
How can residents get help at night?
Each bedroom and strategic point has a call bell kept within reach. Pressing it alerts a staff member, and regular night checks can also be arranged.
Does Nightingale Lodge offer respite care?
Yes. Nightingale Lodge provides short-term respite care and longer-term care and support for up to 29 residents.
How much does Nightingale Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Nightingale Lodge 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.
