Welcome to Woodspring House!

We are a family-owned residential care home situated in the North Norfolk market town of Fakenham.
We specialise in dementia care, residential and respite care. 

About Us

Woodspring House is a Georgian town house of character. It starts life as a family house and then in the 20th century had various incarnations as flats and offices until it was converted into a care home in the early 1980s by the current owners’ parents.

At Woodspring House we realise that moving a loved one to a care home is a very difficult decision. We hope that any worries or concerns you have will be quickly dispelled as they enjoy new opportunities and friendships, activities and outings, and the homely atmosphere that make us special.

Moving to a residential care home

We hope that you’ll soon feel as we do that moving in to a care home can be a positive step forward and will give your loved one the best possible chance of enjoying a happy, active and carefree life. Relieved of the day-to-day burden of caring can also allow you to spend quality time with them again – going into town for a cup of tea or just window shopping, perhaps a pub lunch, feeding the ducks by the river or going to the garden centre.

 

All this is within easy walking distance of Woodspring House and we will lend a wheelchair if needed. Of course you can also visit anytime and sit with your loved one in their room, the home or garden. If you can let us know in advance that you are coming you are very welcome to stay for lunch.

 

We are small enough to treat everyone as an individual yet large enough to be able to offer a wide choice of activities and outings.

Coping with dementia

We recognise how difficult and distressing it can be caring for someone with dementia at home. Coping with constant physical challenges and the worries and emotional distress of seeing a loved one changing and becoming a different person can be quite overwhelming. However we do realise that moving to a care home is also a very difficult decision.

 

Caring for someone at home for 24 hours a day seven days a week can be extremely tiring and if you should just need a well deserved break from caring, to have a holiday or to recharge your batteries we also offer respite care, subject to availability.

  • I know I only see a ‘snippet’ of what you do but what I do know is how happy Doreen seems compared to when she was living on her own in Bishop’s Stortford and that is all credit to you and your team. Keep up the good work!

  • Thanks to you and all your staff manages to keep her sense of humour, and thanks to you all has settled in very well. It has taken a lot off my shoulders, knowing that she has that kind of attention is brilliant. Please keep up your standards as I know you will.

  • The residents do appear to be genuinely valued, cared for and we're appreciative of this positive atmosphere for mum, and they are treated with good humour and a smile.

    Simon and Eleanor, resident’s son and daughter-in-law

  • The care for my father is excellent and the activities going on all year round are second to none. The residents are always going out to many a varied activity. The carehome keeps me well informed at all times about my fathers health and is well staffed with well trained professional staff.
