Dementia care should adapt to the person’s history, routines, communication and changing needs. A CQC rating is useful evidence, but it does not by itself show whether a home is the right environment for a particular person. Some dementia care homes are residential homes, others also provide 24-hour nursing care for people with clinical needs, so confirm that the home can support the person’s diagnosis, communication, mobility, medicines and likely future needs.
6 dementia care homes in Norfolk are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).
Norfolk council paid on average £1,129 a week for residential care and £1,199 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,397 and £1,338.
