De Lucy House the number 1 not for profit care home in Diss. A modern, purpose-built care home offering high quality residential, dementia, and respite care. Rated ‘Good’ by the CQC (February 2021), the home combines comfort, community, and person-centred support in a warm, welcoming setting.
As part of Greensleeves Care, a leading UK care charity, De Lucy House puts people before profit. Residents benefit from award-winning care and the reassurance of the Home for Life promise, meaning no one is ever asked to leave if their personal funds run out. Flexible trial stays are also available to help families and residents make a smooth transition into care.
Situated on the edge of the picturesque Waveney Valley, the home enjoys views of the river and local golf course. Regular trips into Diss, from pub lunches to church visits, help residents stay connected with their community.
De Lucy House has 60 spacious, fully furnished bedrooms, each with an ensuite wet room. Residents are encouraged to bring personal touches such as photos, ornaments, or favourite pieces of furniture to make their room feel like home. There is also a large bathroom for those who enjoy a relaxing soak.
Wellbeing is at the heart of daily life, with a hair and beauty salon on site and a varied programme of activities designed to nurture friendship, confidence, and independence. Whether continuing old hobbies or discovering new interests, residents can enjoy a vibrant, social lifestyle.
The in-house chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals tailored to individual tastes and dietary needs, with seasonal treats like garden barbecues and al fresco dining during summer.
The home’s experienced team is led by its award-winning Registered Manager, Lauren Tubby. De Lucy House has also been recognised as Home of the Year three times, reflecting its commitment to excellence. Families are supported every step of the way by our Family Liaison Manager, Nicki.
From the manager
“A warm welcome you to our charming care home, De Lucy. I’ve been in care for over 10 years, supporting families like yours every day. At Greensleeves Care, we know families are making big decisions about their loved ones and we’re here to help you feel confident in those choices. One of the ways we give families peace of mind is through our Home for Life Commitment: a resident will never be asked to leave if personal funds run out. Because our focus, as a charity, is always on people, not pockets. We make the move into care flexible, with options such as a no-obligation trial, to experience life here before making a longer-term commitment. Our approach to care is rooted in warmth and understanding, delivered by a skilled and compassionate team who are here to support you and your loved one feel good about care, every step of the way. Give us a call today to talk through your needs or to arrange a visit, we’d be delighted to show you around.”
