Questions families ask
How quickly can someone move in after admission acceptance?
Usually the following day, provided the person is medically fit for discharge and transport and medication are arranged. Admissions are not accepted on Fridays or at weekends.
Do they accept residents with dementia?
Not generally. As a general nursing home, they require an assessment before admission to determine whether they can meet the person’s needs.
What can residents bring with them?
They can bring clothing, toiletries and personal items such as a television, radio or photographs. The maintenance and housekeeping team helps organise the room.
What types of care funding do they accept?
They accept self-funded residents, Local Authority contributions that may require a third-party top-up, and NHS Continuing Healthcare funded placements for people with more complex health needs.
Who arranges transport to the care home?
The hospital arranges transport for someone coming from hospital. Families arrange it for someone coming from home, except in very exceptional circumstances when doctors arrange transport.
How much does Oakwood House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Oakwood House Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,199 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
