About

Nestled in the charming market town of Long Stratton, The Mayfields is a beautifully crafted 60-bed care home, just a stone's throw away from the vibrant city of Norwich. This Castlemeadow residence offers round-the-clock professional residential and dementia care, as well as short-term respite breaks.

The Mayfields is more than just a care home; it's a community. Residents can socialise with loved ones in the cosy cafe or indulge in a little self-care at the on-site hair and beauty salon. The home also hosts a plethora of engaging activities and events throughout the year, ensuring there's never a dull moment.

Each bedroom is a private sanctuary, complete with an ensuite and, in some cases, patio doors. The Mayfields is adorned with thoughtful touches of luxury, making it a true home away from home.
