The Good Care Group has been providing high quality live in care to clients in Norfolk for over 10 years. Our care is focused on keeping people safely and happily in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, whilst improving their overall health and wellbeing. Care is provided on a one-to-one basis and is highly personalised reflecting not just a individual’s care needs, but their choices, wishes and social preferences so they are able to maintain as much independence as possible.
We are the only live in care provider in Norfolk to have been rated ‘Outstanding’ by The Care Quality Commission in all five key measures – safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. We know this provides families in Norfolk with peace and mind that their loved one is receiving the best possible care.
For those living with specialist conditions, like dementia, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis (MS) or for those requiring stroke care, cancer care or palliative care, our expert care teams are highly trained to provide care and support that positively enhances quality of life, enabling people to live well in their own homes.
Our nurse-led care in Norfolk for those living with complex medical conditions is led and supported by a dedicated Specialist Consultant Nurse, who works closely with our care teams to ensure we are consistently improving our clients health outcomes.
Whether you have mobility and frailty issues, are recovering from an operation and need convalescent care in Norfolk, or you simply require companionship care at home, our comprehensive live in care service ensures you can live a fulfilled and meaningful life.
Our live in carers provide a range of services across Norfolk. The type of care you need will be outlined in a personalised care plan, developed after one of our care managers visits your home to conduct a free care consultation.
We have a team of local live in carers in Norfolk, managed and supported by our Regional Care Manager and our central team. The services we offer in the area include:
This includes task-oriented care, such as bathing, dressing and continence support, as well as self-esteem care – including nail and hair grooming.
Our carers are matched to your values and interests so that you’re supported with emotional and psychological needs.
Professional carers use an electronic system for proactive medication management, which is closely monitored by care managers.
Your carer will plan and cook meals according to your choice, preferences and nutritional needs, all served at a time that suits you.
Carers will happily support looking after your pet, including dog walking, cleaning their homes and providing regular food and love.
Staying connected to your community is great for your well-being, which is why our carers will support you to access activities you enjoy.
Light housework, watering your plants and taking the bins out – keeping your house to the standards of cleanliness and tidiness you always have.
Ensuring safe mobility in and around your home, including assistance with mobility aids and avoiding slips, trips and fall hazards.
There are several different situations when live in care can be used to support your care and support needs, including:
We operate throughout England and Scotland with a local approach to management of our teams near you. Each dedicated care manager local to you has only a small number of clients to support. This means they can provide higher levels of monitoring and support than other home care providers. It also means a highly personalised approach to care can be delivered.
Our professional carers in Norfolk complete our industry-leading training programme, regardless of their prior experience. This ensures they can support a range of conditions affecting older individuals, including complex needs requiring additional monitoring, care, and support.
From training and probation to placement and beyond, our carers continuously develop new skills to deliver the high-quality care you and your loved ones deserve, always seeking ways to enhance the support they provide.
Our live in care in Norfolk is available throughout the city including, but not limited to the following areas:
The Good Care Group is committed to delivering exceptional live in care services across Norfolk and beyond. We consistently have the highest standards of quality and service and are proud to hold numerous industry accreditations and awards, giving clients and their families confidence in our care.

All of our carers complete a training programme developed by in-house clinicians before being assigned to a placement. Plus, they’ll receive additional enhanced training for complex care needs.
We are not a care agency. We directly employ, train, and supervise all of our carers. That means you’ll receive consistent, reliable support, from carers we know and trust.
Our in-house experts, including Clinical Lead Sabah Shah and Dementia Champion Nichola Proctor, support our care teams to deliver compassionate dementia care at every stage of the condition.
We’ve won more awards than any other home care provider for our service, training and culture. Including a Home Care Award, and a National Dementia Care Award.
There are many other compelling benefits to receiving care in your much-loved home as opposed to enduring the upheaval and disruption that comes from moving into a care home. Highly personalised one-to-one care just cannot be provided in a care home and the way you choose to live your life will be restricted by imposed routines – when to get up, eat your food and when to socialise. For couples, live in care means you can stay together as a loving couple with the care and support you need, something that is not guaranteed if both of you move into a residential care home. Live in care for couples is a very cost-effective option when compared to needing two packages of care in a care home – with live in care in Gloucestershire there is only a nominal additional fee to provide care to a couple.
There are several local independent charities working in Gloucestershire supporting older people to help them get the most out of life. Whether it is information on certain conditions that affect older people, provision of a support network, help with accessing funding for care, local charities are there to provide products and services in Gloucestershire that enable older people to live a fulfilled, enjoyable and dignified life.
Below are some local charities in Gloucestershire that may be able to provide information, guidance and support for you and your family:
According to a survey conducted by the Live In Care Hub, 97% of us given the choice would prefer to carry on living at home whilst receiving the care we need. However, when families are faced with the realisation that their loved one or family member needs increasing levels of care and support, many still feel the only option is to move into a care or nursing home. Whilst there are many good care homes in Norfolk, live in care is fast becoming the preferred choice for those who wish to continue to live in their own home, whilst receiving the care and support they need to have a good quality of life.
