Barchester Cossins House Care Home

Alongside this, the accommodation is well-maintained and clean.

My mother had a fall and my brother and I chose Cossins for respite with a view to long-term stay. We have found staff to be caring and helpful. The home itself is clean and fresh.

My mum was very happy there, wished it could have been for longer.

My mother was very well looked after and cared for very sensitively when she died.

I can't praise the staff too highly. Wonderful.

My grandmother was a resident for two years approximately. She was so happy at Cossins and regarded the staff as family. They always treated her with the greatest respect, allowing her to maintain her dignity. I was deeply moved by the love and care showed to her by the staff up till her passing. I would recommend this home to anyone needing residential care in old age.

The care and love she has received since then has been exemplary and has blessed us all.

My mother passed away at the beginning of March 2017.

My aunt has lived at Cossins House for almost 4 years and I cannot speak highly enough about the care and attention my aunt receives. Initially, my aunt was able to live more independently and as her needs have changed, the wonderful staff at Cossins have seamlessly increased their assistance to keep my aunt as happy and comfortable as possible. Her accommodation is spacious with a beautiful aspect and the whole house and grounds are well kept. In particular, the manager has been outstanding in making sure my aunt has everything she needs.

A wonderful home! The manager has been outstanding in the excellent care they have given my aunt, as are all the staff, who are all long-term employed.

I am thrilled with all aspects of care at Cossins House. My mother has been made so welcome by everyone. As a result, the process of settling in has been easier than expected. I feel as if each and every one of the staff has been hand-picked and part of a family.

My parents (both 93) moved into Cossins House in November 2014. Dad had had a hip operation and Mum realised that they needed more care. My dear mother has always been fussy and a bit difficult! Cossins was recommended by the physio, and when I told them that we were going to see it, Mum said, "Out of the question. I have visited it and I didn't like it." My cousin persuaded them to see it again. "Oh this is nice!" said Mum. "It isn't how I remember it! And the manageress is lovely!" So they moved in, and were given excellent care from the start.

All the staff are brilliant, and very caring and gentle. The manageress is particularly good at coping with Mum's moods, and jollying her along. She often lends her a tablet so she can watch ‘Songs of Praise’! Dad was in hospital with a chest infection in 2015. When he returned, Cossins got him a more suitable bed and arranged extra nursing care. He had a stroke last year, and died in May. The staff have been really good at helping Mum to cope with her new situation.

My father-in-law has been a resident at Cossins for two years and in that time he has received the best of treatment in every way possible. The staff are excellent in every regard, patient and very kind. The home itself is set in beautiful grounds which the residents are encouraged to use at all times. We (the family) cannot fault Cossins and would recommend it very much indeed.

Very happy to be here. I am treated with dignity by all the staff and always ready for a laugh. my family are delighted that I am settled and happy.
