About The Croft
The Croft provides residential support for eight men and women with learning disabilities in a semi-rural setting near Diss. The home can also support autistic people, and its team focuses on health, wellbeing and developing skills for a healthier and more independent life in the community.
The small resident group creates a clearly defined setting for people who need ongoing residential assistance rather than short-term care. The service is registered for learning disabilities, older people and younger adults, without nursing. Families considering The Croft can therefore focus on whether its specialist residential model matches the person’s support needs and longer-term goals.
