Meet The Manager
Rachel Gee is Home Manager at Olive House.
As Home Manager, I enjoy being part of a hardworking team that maintains high standards of care in a happy home with lovely residents. With 17 years of experience in the care industry, a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, and a Level 5 in Management and Leadership, I’m dedicated to ensuring residents feel heard, understood, and supported. Spending time with each resident and making their needs the priority is at the heart of everything I do.
This purpose built, single storey care home offers extremely high quality residential care for elderly people. All of the bedrooms at Olive House include en-suite facilities, and the home incorporates a welcoming reception area, dining room, many lounge areas, and attractive gardens surround the home, which our residents and their guests regularly enjoy.
Although our rooms are fully furnished, we encourage residents to bring with them items of furniture and personal effects to complement those already provided so that their room can become an individual retreat.
Olive House is conveniently situated in a small village some eight miles south of Norwich. The village has a range of shops and amenities. To ensure, where possible, that our residents have an active social life, regular trips are organised to the local theatre, garden centres and the Suffolk and Norfolk coast.

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.
