Anyone from the smaller villages around Norfolk will tell you there is a special sense of community here: a pride, a vibrancy and a warmth. That also sums up life at Hassingham House in the market town of Hingham, a home rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. Our purpose-built home is accessible throughout, with landscaped gardens we use to the full. Inside, our lounges and dining room have been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company.
Our long-serving nursing and care team is on hand 24 hours a day, happy to help with a smile and a cheery word, from company and support with daily care to round-the-clock nursing. We provide nursing care for people aged 65 and over, including those living with dementia, and neurological care for adults from the age of 30, as well as respite and recuperative stays.
The home has 46 spacious single bedrooms, 44 with an en suite, and residents are encouraged to bring their own furnishings and treasured belongings so their room feels like theirs. Whether someone joins us for a short stay or a long-term one, every detail is shaped around the individual. We look forward to welcoming you to Hassingham House.
Our registered nurses and carers are here 24 hours a day. We provide nursing care for people aged 65 and over with complex medical needs, along with dementia care, respite and recuperative stays, and palliative and end of life care. Where we have a room available, we can also help with crisis and emergency admissions. Every resident has a personal care plan, written with them and their family and reviewed regularly, so their care keeps pace as their needs change.
We also care for adults over the age of 30 living with neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy, and for people with spinal injuries, with a dedicated team providing 24-hour nursing. For residents living with dementia, familiar things matter. We keep to the routines people know, and encourage families to bring in photographs and belongings so their room feels like theirs.
Residents choose how they spend their day. There’s a relaxing courtyard, sensory gardens and the refreshed lounges, where people gather for a film or the sport on the widescreen TV, for visiting entertainers, or for afternoon tea with family and friends. The salon is popular for a manicure or a blow-dry, and Hingham’s churches, parks, green spaces and independent shops are all close by.
Quiz nights, arts and crafts, musical afternoons and garden parties are regulars on the calendar, with barbecues in the gardens in warmer weather. We also work with Myley, a tour company that runs accessible day trips for people of all ages and abilities, so there are outings beyond the home too. Family and friends are welcome any time.
Mealtimes are an important part of the day at Hassingham House. We work with apetito, a leading provider of meals for care homes, whose recipes are developed by chefs, dietitians and nutritionists. Menus are developed with our residents, balancing favourites and seasonal variety, and we cater for texture-modified, diabetic and other dietary needs. Our bright dining rooms overlook the gardens, and in summer meals move outdoors to the courtyard.

Hassingham house is a dedicated care home, supplying the highest ever standards of nursery and personal care. The dementia care is second to none and the dedication of the staff is 100%
By far the best care facility in Norfolk! My Dad has been a resident here for the past 4 years and I can't honestly think of a better place for him.
Moving into a care home is a big step, and we take it at your pace. Before anyone moves in, we meet them and their family to understand their nursing care, medical and personal needs, working with any healthcare professionals already involved, and use this to put a personal care plan in place.
People come to us in different ways: some directly, some through a hospital discharge team or social services, and some after a short respite stay. Whichever route, we talk through funding and the options openly, and our Advice Centre explains how care funding works.
We encourage residents and families to visit first, to look around the rooms and communal areas, meet the team and ask anything they like.
Rooms aren’t always available at short notice, so it’s worth getting in touch early if you think you may need one. Call the team at Hassingham House and we can talk you through availability and arrange a tour.
