Red Oaks Care runs two six-bedded residential homes — The Oaks in Mulbarton and Corner Oaks in Scratby. Small enough that meals are cooked in our own kitchen and the same staff are familiar from one shift to the next.
Both of our homes are run to the same standards by the same family — but each has the character of its own Norfolk village.
6 bedrooms · South Norfolk village near Norwich
A six-bedded residential care home in the village of Mulbarton, a few miles south of Norwich. The Oaks is small enough that every resident is known by name and every meal is cooked in the home's own kitchen.
6 bedrooms · Norfolk coast, near Great Yarmouth
A six-bedded residential care home in Scratby on the east-Norfolk coast, a short walk from the sea. Corner Oaks shares the same staff training, the same standards of care, and the same homely scale as our sister home in Mulbarton.
We chose to keep our homes small for a reason. With six rooms in each house, every resident eats at the same table, sees the same faces in the morning, and knows the people looking after them. Bigger care settings can be excellent — they are simply not what we do.
The everyday matters more than any glossy brochure. The smell of breakfast cooking. The garden in spring. A familiar carer remembering how you take your tea. These are what we measure ourselves on, and what families tell us they were looking for when their relative came to live with us.
“Small enough that a son or daughter can ring and speak to someone who actually knows their mum.”
Replace this with a quote from a family member or carer. Discovery did not find on-site testimonials we could cite verbatim — your existing 'Testimonials' page would feed straight in here.
Mulbarton & Scratby — both regulated and inspected by the CQC.
Six per home — small enough that no resident is ever a number.
Every resident, every visiting family member — known by the staff personally.
Both of our homes are served by Red Oaks Catering, our in-house kitchen. Meals are cooked fresh daily — proper home cooking, not reheated portions — and tailored to dietary needs and personal preferences.
We do not buy in pre-portioned meals or rotate frozen menus. Lunch is the social event of the day in both homes — long enough that conversation can happen, with second helpings if anyone is still hungry.
Visits are welcome at both The Oaks and Corner Oaks, with or without a relative who might come to live with us. We will put the kettle on.
