Care Homes Owned by Corton House & Brewster Court in Norfolk

I was welcomed at Corton House when I started to visit a resident each week. From the office staff to the carers and all staff, the atmosphere at Corton House is friendly, efficient and, above all, caring. The home is 'homely' and the beautiful garden is exceptionally well kept. All the residents I meet seem happy and smile a lot. There are many and varied activities for them to choose from. The home is a gem in Norwich City, long may it continue to flourish and provide excellent care

What an amazing place and the biggest reason for that is the staff. They are incredible. Great kindness and caring I have seen every time I'm visiting mum. They treat the people who live here like family.. and it feels like home. It's so lovely to know mum has people like this looking after her. I have never worried about her since she's been living here.. I know she's safe and loved. This is a happy place.. there is an air of it as soon as you come in.. there's always something happening to take part in.. musical.. artistic.. fitness based. The food is home cooked.. and from veg grown by the people who live here. It's a lovely environment.. very clean and fresh and stylishly decorated.. and the gardens are just lovely.. mum and I enjoy sitting in the summerhouse and checking on the veg garden. Mum is happy.. she's made lots of new friends and has found her confidence again with the gentle encouragement of everyone there. I can't thank them enough.. I feel we have mum back again.

Personally, the key difference between Corton House and another home I have experience of, is the staff, they appear to really care about the residents, there is continuity of care and a desire to make the residents feel they are "home" and looked after.

Oh my goodness, what a place. We were nervous about mum going into Corton, she had just lost her husband and was anxious, withdrawn, had not been communicating well in assisted living and had withdrawn socially and was very quiet. In the 3 months since being at Corton, mum has adapted so well and enjoyed the numerous activities, music, games that get put on. Shes been getting regular baths from caring workers and the atmosphere of Corton is so friendly, upbeat and positive. She is growing potatoes, singing, enjoying big bands, knitting and re-engaging with people. Its difficult to recognise the mum we see now compared with previous. she is so much more chatty, her dementia has improved immensely with communication, interaction, regular meds and activities she is so happy and so are we. Thank you Corton for making this so much more than just a care home, you go one step beyond and we can keep up with all the excitement on social media with pics of events.

From the moment we walked into the care home we were greeted with warm friendly staff who always said hello with a smile. It puts you at ease straight away knowing you have picked the right place for your relative. The home is always clean and tidy and has a very modern feel to it. Plenty of places for people to sit and chat to others which is great as you dont want to think your relative is only in their room all day. Lots to do. We hear that it has been lovely for our relative to join in so many activities throughout the week. We have been really happy with the support and care shown to our loved one but staff are always there for us too when we have asked for any guidance. Its nice to know when you leave after a visit your relative is in good hands. Takes away alot of stress wondering if theyre okay. Thank you Corton for your 5 star service.

A friendly, caring atmosphere met us when we were looking for care for our Mum. Corton House is smart and clean and staff clearly enjoy their demanding work. We are very appreciative of the care Mum is receiving, giving us peace of mind that she is safe and secure. The gardens are a wonderful space, Mum enjoys being able to sit outside when possible. She enjoys the many and varied activities laid on by the team.

To each and everyone at Corton House, thank you all so much for caring, loving and looking after my Mum. You all made Mum's just short of two years with you very enjoyable. She felt loved, found friendship and enjoyed experiences that Mum would probably not have had. You gave Mum room to grow, express herself and sprinkle her unique sparkle. We miss calling in because we found friends too.

Mum has always had the best of care here, we have always appreciated the care and professionalism and sensitivity of everybody at Corton House.

Lovely, warm and caring home. Staff happy to help at any time. Always things on and different activities. Improvement - a light flexible chair to use upstairs when visiting a relation in their room.

My mum had such good things to say about Corton House care home. At the end of my mums life Corton House made it possible for her to be made comfortable with love, care an compassion. My mum enjoyed all of the fun activities that Corton make possible. Fond memories of mum and Corton House.

The whole team at Corton House have been attentive, compassionate and intuitive to my mum's needs. Food is very important to my mum. All meals are home cooked, nutritious and varied appealing to my mum. Activities are wide ranging, person appropriate and inclusive. My mum has been encouraged to participate which has been crucial to her settling in. As a family we have found Corton House to be professional and empathetic to our situation.

Corton House consistently provided a safe, caring living environment for my mother. I have complete confidence in their skills and services. I never worry about her care. Would gladly recommend.

I have worked in various care homes in my employment, and I can honestly say Corton House is outstanding. You always get a smile from the staff, and it's always kept impeccably clean. From manager to maintenance, it's top notch.

I wanted to write to thank the staff at Corton House for going 'above and beyond' to help my Dad to settle in. I am sure that every family must find this a difficult time but the staff couldn't have been kinder in supporting both Dad and us. Everything from sorting his GP registration to getting his pictures hung on his newly decorated walls and all his things arranged to his satisfaction. We get daily calls from Dad to tell us how good the food is. My Father knew some staff and residents at Corton House many years ago and the activities coordinator was kind enough to find the relevant photo albums from the archive so that he could look at all the familiar faces. Even the gardener has been in for a chat, which Dad loved. We so appreciate these details.

It certainly helps that the garden is delightful, and that the building has a lovely, freshly decorated, light and sunny feel about it. Thanks to all the staff and management.

Staff have helped mum with a sore leg & this is now healing nicely.

I came in to Corton House a week ago, and have found the time here pleasant and enjoyable. The staff are excellent, both efficient and helpful. The meals are very good, with wide choices. As a diabetic, I particularly appreciate the alternative desserts which are offered. My room is comfortable and the ensuite bathroom is user-friendly.

Mum has now been living in Corton House for 6 months. She has settled in well, is happy and feels safer than when living at home on her own. The staff are very friendly and as well as providing the necessary care are happy to help out with anything else she needs or would like assistance with. She enjoys participating in the group activities, but also being able to relax quietly in her own room when she wishes. As her family, it's reassuring for us to know she now has 24 hour care in the lovely environment of Corton House.

Corton House is a light, comfortable, airy, spacious building with a lovely garden. There is a positive and fun atmosphere here, yet it is also very professional, with the latest technology for the resident's safety and comfort. We can not recommend Corton House more highly.

We feel really lucky that our mum lives at Corton House. She has dementia and is treated with the utmost respect and friendliness by everyone. She enjoys the activities although she may not remember doing them later and the variety and frequency of the activities is outstanding. Mum is reminded what is happening and gets involved as a result. There are several areas where visitors and residents can sit and talk quite cosily, including a drinks machine for cappuccinos and chocolate in an area off the dining room overlooking a garden. The main garden is a lovely asset to the house and mum really enjoyed her walks around it this summer whenever weather allowed. There are also several areas in the garden where residents and guests can sit comfortably. The menus are varied every week and mum seems to enjoy going into breakfast, lunch and supper. She has periods of confusion but she is helped in a positive way. It is a safe and caring environment for her and seems to suit her very well.

My uncle settled very well into life at Corton House. He involved himself in his chosen activities. He particularly enjoyed the services delivered by the chaplain at the care home. My uncle and I felt that he was listened to and the staff always had time for a chat, which he really appreciated. The staff treat residents with dignity and great care. Well done all!
