Welcome to
The Great
Hospital
Our vision is to deliver the best possible independent living accommodation whilst preserving and maintaining our beautiful heritage site.
Independent living for the people of Norwich
Our charity nurtures a vibrant & peaceful community of over 60s in the heart of Norwich’s oldest quarters. Everyone here has a connection to Norwich and we support each other to live independently.
We discover something every day. A story of the past or something in the gardens. Interests and friendships flourish in our community.
Life is easy here. Just a short walk from the buzzing city, it is as relaxed or energetic as you want it to be. We accommodate individuals and couples, in one bedroom apartments within almshouses, period buildings, and modern integrations.
Whilst we preserve the surrounding beauty, the welfare of residents is supported by a unique community presence on the estate.
2024 Transformation Project
Over a three-month period (February to end April 2024) we met with staff, residents and their families to explain and discuss our proposed changes, and we welcomed comments from the local community too. Throughout each stage of the consultation we have listened to residents, their families and our local community, and we are grateful to everyone for participating and sharing their views with us.
