Great Yarmouth care home welcomes first residents

Lydia Eva Court is a new care home from Norse Care (Services) Ltd designed to allow small communities to thrive, having adopted a vision recommended by Stirling University researchers.

An 88 capacity facility, Lydia Eva Court consists of six separate living areas and has been designed to specialise in residents diagnosed with dementia. In total, 67 current Norse Care residents will be moving to the new home from the nearby Mildred Stone House and also Clere House in Ormesby.

The home’s manager Lisa Utting comments on a project that took 18 months to build: “I’m so pleased we’ve finally been able to start to move our residents into their new home. To bring them to such a fantastic place and to see their initial reaction is incredible. One resident joked that he didn’t think he’d be able to manage to look after the whole garden on his own, so we’ll make sure he gets plenty of opportunities to enjoy it.

“It’s been a very long road for the project team, and we’re now able to give our residents the fabulous home that they fully deserve.”

As well as having en-suite facilities, Lydia Eva Court, which was designed by Barron and Smith architects, has its own on-site café and beauty parlour, while the landscaped gardens have been well-kept to delight residents and visitors with the array of plants and flowers on display.

The importance of good nutrition also features highly in the care home’s vision, with all meals freshly prepared on-site and with varied seasonal options available to suit personal preference and special diets.
