About The Meadows
A seven-bedded home near South Walsham, The Meadows supports people whose needs include learning disabilities, mental health needs, physical disabilities or sensory impairment. It is registered to care for younger adults as well as these groups, within a residential care setting.
The home sits on more than an acre of land, giving residents the option to take part in gardening, horticulture and growing their own food. The Meadows is part of the Beeshaw Group, whose wider support model includes individual assessment and bespoke domiciliary care elsewhere in Norfolk. Its small scale and outdoor space give the home a clear practical identity.

Questions families ask
How much does The Meadows cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Meadows for its weekly fee. As a guide, Norfolk council paid on average £1,397 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask The Meadows whether it takes residents funded by Norfolk council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
