Care Homes in Lowestoft | Oulton Park Care Centre

Staff at Oulton Park are celebrating after it performed strongly in Your Care Rating 2016, a nationwide survey of care home residents, family and friends. The results show it was given an overall score of 904 out of 1,000 by residents, and 933 by family and friends. You can read the report here.

We are proud to be one of the first homes to be accredited as part of Barchester’s 10-60-06 Dementia Care programme, reflecting the enhanced quality of dementia care and improved quality of life experienced by residents here at Oulton Park.

We provide first-class 24-hour nursing care for older people in need of support, alongside person-centred care for people with dementia in our dedicated Memory Lane Community.

Our care home is situated in a semi-rural position close to the Blue Flag beach of Lowestoft and at the heart of the Broads, so residents are able to enjoy both the countryside and the seaside whilst living here at Oulton Park.

Oulton Park is a Dementia Care Matters Butterfly Service®. Oulton Park worked with Dementia Care Matters to improve the quality of life of the people living here and achieved Butterfly Service status in October 2012 (competed for and renewed in 2013), an award shared with only 28 homes across the UK.

We are situated at the end of Union Lane, please be sure to follow the road for about quarter of a mile until Union Lane veers right into Allington Smith Close and you will see our sign.

General Manager

Hello, my name is Sarah Wright, and I am the General Manager here at Oulton Park Care Centre.

I have varied experience in mental health nursing and much of that has involved nursing individuals with complex needs who are living with dementia. I have worked in various settings.

I consider myself to be very lucky to work with such a talented and dedicated team of people who assist me in ensuring that we deliver high quality and person-centred care for all residents. Communication, dignity and respect are vital in the running of our home.

Music, loving care to the (mainly) elderly folk there. Activities and special days (e.g. Easter/Halloween). Attractive rooms and furnishings all round.

"I can only say how impressed I am with the staff and domestics. The rooms are beautiful. It has made us feel less stressed. The care dad has been given is beyond words, making him pain-free, comfortable and have gone over and above expectations.
Thank you all."

The care home is clean, tidy and hygienic at all times. I would recommend here to everyone. The staff are always near and help whenever needed.
I am so impressed with it here that I have started volunteering a few hours a week with the activities team who are also great. I cannot fault this care home."
