About Sydney House
Sydney House offers residential care, short-term care and day care for older people. Its support can suit someone recovering from illness or surgery, a family needing a temporary break, or a person considering longer-term accommodation in a residential home.
Residents have their own rooms, communal living and dining spaces, secluded gardens and a varied programme of activities. The home supports both state-funded and self-funded residents, and families are welcome to visit before arranging a stay. Sydney House is not a secure dementia unit and residents are free to come and go, with individual risk assessment used to consider suitability.

Questions families ask
What types of care does Sydney House provide?
They provide residential care, support for people with learning disabilities, dementia care, respite stays and end-of-life care, with support tailored to each person's needs and routines.
Do they offer short-term respite care?
Yes. They offer respite care for short stays, including for recovery, a carer's break or trying life at Sydney House, with residents included in daily activities.
Do they accept state-funded and self-funded residents?
Yes. They support both state-funded and self-funded residents and can explain the available funding options and process.
Do they support people living with dementia or additional needs?
Yes. They provide calm, consistent support for people with dementia or additional needs, but the home is not a secure dementia unit, so residents can come and go and doors are not locked.
How much does Sydney House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Sydney 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.
