Redmayne View in Sprowston has won a Gold Award at the Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC) Awards 2019. The scheme is owned by Clarion Housing and NorseCare provides care and support to the tenants who live independently in their own flats.
Residents at our homes have benefited from a £20,000 grant from Comic Relief’s Health and Wellbeing for Stronger Communities Fund. The grant has been used to develop the skills and confidence of staff in residential care homes, supporting residents to take part in person-centered activities and exercise, having fun, keeping healthy and active and playing a valuable part in the life of their community.
A lifelong Norwich City fan celebrated his 90th birthday with a trip to Norwich City Football Club. Leslie Fitt, known as ‘Ginger’, lives at Green Lane View in Aylsham and has been a Norwich City supporter all his life.
International Women’s Day is on Friday 8th March 2019. A career in care has often been seen as an occupation that attracts women, and the statistics from NorseCare, Norfolk’s largest care provider do support that premise. NorseCare employs over 1,600 people in care homes and housing with care schemes in Norfolk. Over 90% of them are women, including Managing Director, Karen Knight and Human Resources Director Helen Rothwell. The International Women’s Day 2019 campaign theme of “BalanceforBetter” is a call-to-action for driving gender balance across the world.
