About Us

Corton House is a residential care home in Norwich providing care for older people, including people living with dementia. We offer both permanent places and shorter respite stays.

We would rather be upfront about our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission, which is requires improvement. We are not going to present ourselves as something we are not. We understand which areas were identified, we have a plan of work in progress covering staff supervision and training, the accuracy and usefulness of our records, and how we involve people and their families in decisions. Anyone thinking about Corton House for a relative is welcome to ask us about it directly, and we will tell you honestly how far along we are.

Day to day, the work of the home continues: help with washing and dressing, meals prepared here and eaten together for those who want the company, careful management of medication, attention to mobility and nutrition, and time spent with people rather than simply on tasks. For those living with dementia we keep routines steady and staff familiar, which does more good than any single intervention.

Families are welcome whenever they wish to come. Please contact us if you would like to visit and see the home for yourself.
