What We Do
Day visitors receive a home-cooked two-course lunch, access to a wide range of other essential services such as specialist bathing, chiropody and therapeutic exercise, as well as activities, including art classes, music, outings and special events. Most importantly, our visitors enjoy the companionship of others.
Meals
We know how important nutrition is to ensure a healthy mind and body, so our home cooked meals are not only highly nutritious but made with the best fresh local produce.
Meals are key parts of a day at the House, where memories can be triggered by certain foods and new experiences can be created and shared as a community.
Lunch to your door
If you’d like a hot meal delivered to your home, Heritage House lunches are nutritious and freshly cooked daily using locally sourced ingredients – and only cost £7 per meal! A friendly volunteer driver will deliver your lunch direct to your door.
Our Facilities
The Heritage House building can be defined through its accessible and welcoming feeling, its professional capacity to provide care (including medical needs) and its connection to nature and the countryside via its large garden and picturesque views.
Situated completely on the ground floor, our building ensures accessibility by providing easy disabled and wheelchair access.
As well as medical facilities, we are also able to offer specialist bathing, chiropody, hair care, and therapeutic exercise.
Our kitchen is professional but homely, capable of producing large quantities of home-cooked meals for our day visitors and those at home, as well as catering for events at the House.
Our bright and airy social and dining spaces provide a light and pleasant atmosphere for our guests to spend the day relaxing and socialising in the company of others.
The three Heritage House minibuses are professionally equipped to ferry our guests safely and securely to and from the House by our trained and experienced volunteers.
Nature is at the heart of Heritage House through our large garden and situation in the countryside. Abundant greenery and a well-equipped greenhouse accompany dynamic views across the Holkham Estate.
Transport
From being collected by one of three minibuses to returning home in the afternoon, visitors enjoy a welcome break from isolation and loneliness.
Activities
A day at Heritage House includes activities that are fun for all and help our visitors to stay mentally and physically agile. These can include art classes, music, outings and special events.
Outings, such as to Holkham Hall gardens, are also a regular fixture.
The House comes together to celebrate national and local occasions and enjoy music and entertainment.
Our Care
Heritage House was founded by a group of enthusiastic volunteers in 1984 and it has helped the elderly and isolated ever since. It has evolved into a high quality resource that is light, airy, and operated by a professional team of qualified carers, dedicated staff, and volunteers.
