About Us

West Cotes Residential Care Home provides residential care in Skegness for older people, including people living with dementia. We offer permanent places and shorter respite stays.

We should be straightforward about our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is requires improvement. We would rather raise it ourselves than have you come across it elsewhere. We know which areas were identified and there is a programme of work in hand, with changes already made to staff supervision and training, to how care is recorded, and to how families are involved in decisions. Please ask us about it directly when you visit.

The daily work of the home continues as it should: careful help with washing and dressing, meals cooked here, attention to nutrition, skin and mobility, safe management of medication, and time spent with people rather than only on tasks. For those living with dementia we keep the routine steady and the faces familiar, because that is what genuinely settles a day.

Visitors are welcome and we would always rather hear a concern early than late. Please come and see us and ask whatever you need to ask.
