A care home is celebrating after receiving a top rating in an unannounced inspection.

King's Court Care Home, in Hempstead Road, Holt, was given the five stars by the Environmental Health Inspection after meeting all food hygiene and safety requirements.

The home opened earlier this year and offers residential, early-stage dementia, and nursing care.

Head chef Tom England said: "This really does mean so much to our home’s hospitality team.

"Achieving this highest rating really is a special moment for us all here at the home.”

King's Court, part of Kingsley Healthcare, is one of the few care homes in north Norfolk offering nursing care.

Home manager Tracey Curson said: “We have been delighted to welcome residents to King’s Court both on a permanent basis and for respite stays – we even have a resident move to the home all of the way from Wales.

"The compliments the team have received from residents, their families to date has been amazing and we are very much looking forward to our Harvest Festival Service and Open Day coming up in October too.”
