More info
Olive House is situated in the small village of Newton Flotman, just south of Norwich in Norfolk. All bedrooms include en-suite facilities, and the home incorporates a welcoming reception area with tea, coffee and snacks, a large dining room and several lounge areas. Surrounded by attractive gardens in a peaceful cul-de-sac, our residents and visitors regularly enjoy the outdoor spaces as part of daily life.
There is a dedicated team of staff running the care home – many of which are long-standing and know the residents and their families very well. We regularly welcome local groups, organisations and visitors into the home, helping to build strong connections between Olive House and the local community.
Daily activities and entertainment are a core part of our quality care at Olive House. We pride ourselves on offering a diverse, enriching range of weekly activities and entertainment, allowing residents to continue to relish in their favourite hobbies and pastimes or to try out something new entirely.
Residents are involved in planning the weekly care home activities programme, and we can provide one-to-one opportunities and experiences as requested. We are also passionate about keeping our home and residents at the heart of the local community, working closely with local groups, schools and other communal connections.
Some of our regular activities include:
- Gardening and growing
- Carpet bowls
- Bingo
- Quizzes
- Exercise classes
- Arts & crafts
- Skittles
- Pamper days
- Regular outings
- Music workshops
A varied and personalised meal offering is an essential part of the care provided at Olive House to enable our residents to enjoy eating what they want, when they want.
Current and future menus are discussed at our monthly residents’ meetings where all involved can contribute with their likes, dislikes, ideas and suggestions to create their home’s dining experience.
Our chef fully assesses all dietary needs, preferences, allergies, special diets, through to individual portion sizes and mealtimes. The catering team prides itself on producing food of the highest quality, using local suppliers to create fresh, homemade dishes each day.
Olive House is conveniently situated in the small village of Newton Flotman, approximately eight miles south of Norwich. The village has a range of shops and regular trips are organised to the local theatre, garden centres and the Suffolk and Norfolk coasts. Visitors to the area can enjoy trips to Great Yarmouth, the Southwold coastline and Cromer.
The health and wellness of our residents is very important and we work closely in partnership with local health and wellness professionals to ensure every resident is able to lead a full and enriched life. We welcome visiting professionals such as GPs, chiropodists, opticians and can arrange visits to other professionals if and when it may be required.

Terms and Conditions
If you will be funding your stay privately, please click here to view our Resident Contract of Admission for Self-Funders.
If a Local Authority may be funding your stay, please click here to view our Resident Terms and Conditions for a Local Authority Funded Stay.
Your Local Authority might locate/suggest a care home that is/your Local Authority believes is suitable to meet your care and support needs, that is of a lower cost than our required weekly fee. In this circumstance the Local Authority is unlikely to agree to fully fund your stay if you choose to select our care home instead of the less expensive establishment it has sourced for/suggested to you. In this event, private ‘top-up’ payments will be necessary in order to address the shortfall between our weekly fee and the weekly fee funding available from/offered by your Local Authority.
An additional top-up payment will almost certainly be required if you select, or we only have available, a non-standard room in the care home and your Local Authority is only prepared to pay for a standard room. If you select, or we only have available, a non-standard room in the care home, the additional cost for that non-standard room will have to be met by top-up payments.
Owing to the fact that your financial means will have been assessed by your Local Authority, it is very likely that the Local Authority will require private top-up payments to be made by a third party from their own funds. Although the Guidance to the Care Act 2014 states that a Local Authority ought itself collect top-up payments, some require us to collect such payments on their behalf. Should the Local Authority require us to collect top-up payments, we would issue the third party who is to fund the top-up with a contractual agreement for their review and signature.
