About The Moorings
Residential care at The Moorings supports older people, including residents living with dementia. The home provides care without nursing, with access to GPs, district nursing services, visiting chiropody and hairdressing arranged through its wider care service.
Residents can take part in organised interests and activities throughout the week, including day trips and events, while housekeeping activities may support independence and community spirit. The home also respects residents who prefer quiet time or do not wish to join activities, keeping personal choice central to daily life.

Questions families ask
Does The Moorings organise activities for residents?
Yes. The Moorings has a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator and organises activities throughout the week, including day trips and events where possible.
Can residents use visiting chiropody and hairdressing services?
Yes. A private chiropodist visits every eight weeks, while a professional hairdresser visits each home weekly. Eye clinic, optician and dentist visits can also be arranged.
How much does The Moorings cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Moorings 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.
