Munhaven, which is run by NorseCare, won the accolade at the 10th National Dementia Care Awards.

Manager Alison Roberts said she was delighted with the win in the best dementia care home category.

She said: "This is amazing. It has been such an incredible year for us - the recognition is wonderful and I'm very lucky to have a staff team who are dedicated, sensitive and supportive of all the people who live at Munhaven.

"We are equally very thankful to the wider Mundesley community who are also a great support."

The home, which cares for up to 20 people, was rated outstanding by the Care Quality Commission in August.

Surraya Mahmood, NorseCare's activities and wellbeing co-ordinator, was also shortlisted as one of the top five activities co-ordinators for people with dementia in the country.
