Set in the popular seaside resort of Cromer, on the Norfolk coast, Halsey House is a beautiful historic building which was used as a hospital in the First and Second World Wars.

Quality of life is important to us and we offer a variety of social events and outings in our two minibuses. We encourage our residents to go shopping, pursue hobbies and attend clubs.
We also make sure there’s plenty to do for residents, including indoor bowls, bingo, tea dances and crafts. On Sunday afternoons a visiting chaplain holds a religious service in our main lounge.
In the dining room, we offer a varied menu to suit all tastes as well as special diets. In addition, there is a licensed bar where residents can socialise with family and friends. A variety of lounges are available, offering a comfortable and homely atmosphere.

We provide short and long-term care for serving personnel, veterans, and their dependants.
We have a community of men and women of varied ages and abilities.
