My Dad came for a week's respite to Cotman House in March. The staff were really friendly, helpful and supportive. Communication was excellent, and staff were really professional and caring. I would definitely recommend Cotman House and felt my Dad was being looked after and having his care needs met.

My husband recently spent 19 days in respite care at Cotman House. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming and the standard of care was excellent. The atmosphere there is very positive and pleasant.
The building and surroundings are modern and clean and they have a beautiful well kept garden.
My
husband is already looking forward to his next visit.

Cotman House promotes and generates an excellent community style atmosphere through it's good management team and carers. Requesting any information or suggestions are always taken seriously and professionally. With the cafe especially, it is a good hub to relax with other resident's families. Happy

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother stayed at Cotman House for three weeks in November/December 2024, to recuperate from a full hip replacement. My brother has learning difficulties and autism. Cotman House provided a safe and happy environment for him and he loved all the staff and the many activities provided for residents.
Everyone at the home is friendly, helpful and caring, and I also received moral support from key members of staff, which was invaluable. I cannot thank everyone enough. My brother lives locally and it is a great comfort to know that, when the time comes, there will be a lovely place for him to go and live. It is excellent in every respect.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father initially went to Cotman House for a 3 week respite break, with a view to make this a permanent residency should he feel happy and settled, and the home met his needs.
My first impression was of a clean and modern home, spacious, with a great location and stunning views over the seafront.
The
staff that handled our initial enquiry and application, were very friendly and professional, everything was carefully explained.
My positive comments are:
The staff are very good, always in good spirits and they communicate well with my father, and ourselves.
The home is clean and well organised, the various social spaces mean that there is always somewhere quiet to sit, the views are fantastic, the garden is also a little gem.
Activities take place twice a day, and include light chair exercises for physical activity, singing, crafts, games etc, plus there is a dedicated cinema room.
There is a cafe on the lower floor, very useful.
We feel very involved and welcomed as visitors.

My mother was a resident of Cotman House for a two week convalescent period following a fall at home. The staff of Cotman House prior to her arrival, were extremely helpful, informative and supportive on the telephone, especially one staff member in particular. One arrival, my mum was made to feel very
welcome and she settled very quickly and happily into 'Cotman life'. The attending staff were all polite, willing to help and encouraging. The activities provided were appropriate, enjoyable and where necessary, suitably challenging.

I spent two weeks at Cotman House for convalescence care following foot surgery.
I cannot speak more highly of my experience from my first contact with Cotman House and throughout the duration of my stay. All the staff were so supportive, caring and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Once
my recuperation is complete I look forward to being able to return to Cotman House as a visitor.

My Grandad has recently started to experience some confusion at home and was struggling to complete basic tasks confidently himself, as he's always been a very independent man and takes pride in being capable he was apprehensive about going into a care environment.
I am so grateful we were able to
find Cotman House as our first impressions were simply amazing, the home is located a short distance from the seafront and benefits from some impressive views, we were given a full tour and any questions were answered immediately, nothing was too much of an ask so we knew this would be the right place for my Grandad.
Upon arrival, we were assisted to his room and all the care staff was incredibly helpful and understanding, he settled in quickly and enjoyed spending time with other residents, particularly with the resident ambassador as they often had breakfast together every morning, he thoroughly enjoyed his respite at Cotman House and we cannot recommend it enough.

In March my mum was in hospital and could no longer live with my husband and myself. I needed to find her somewhere to live. I did some research and a friend's mum was a resident at Cotman House. I was met by a lovely member of staff. I was taken into a room where we could have a private chat about
my mum’s needs and my expectations. I was immediately put at ease. She then took me on a small tour of Cotman's house. I got to choose a lovely room for my mum. All the staff are very friendly. The house itself is extremely clean and doesn’t come with the usual smell that sometimes is associated with homes. My mum’s health has improved so much. There are so many activities every day. So you can pick and choose what you want to join in with. There’s no pressure it’s up to the individual. In summary, my mum has put on weight, she’s got her appetite back and her health has greatly improved. She has made new friends and I couldn’t wish for more at this time in her life.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following the recent passing of my mother-in-law I have visited Cotman House several times in an attempt to support their ventures. A small way of showing my appreciation for the high level of assistance and care the staff provided to her during her almost 2 years there. One such venture is the Paws
for Coffee. Still in its early days, but each time I've visited I've been impressed with the enthusiasm shown by the staff and residents alike. An hour of interaction with the dogs is always enjoyed by all. The residents often repeat how much they love seeing them because it reminds them of their own pets from the past. Plenty of potential moving forward with new ideas suggested each week. Long may it last.

I was able to move both parents here in a crisis thanks especially to a particular staff member and one parent unfortunately passed away soon after. Although mother had two major life changes at once, she adapted to a totally new way of life thanks to the kind staff, including of course the activities
team. The food has been wonderful and she's so grateful to the laundry staff as nothing has been lost! (I had been unable to label items). She's now making friends and any minor problems seem to be ironed out without too many problems. It's great the staff seem to enjoy laughing and chatting to her. Thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was Mum's 3rd stay at Cotman House (temporary respite care) and she had a wonderful time. To say that she was reticent to go to a care home at all initially is an understatement having spent her entire working life as a social worker arranging care packages for the elderly. I think it speaks volumes
about the place therefore that she now looks forward to her stays. The staff from the outset have been friendly and efficient, and Mum's particular request to have a room where she can see the sea has always been met. She has made friends at Cotman and takes part in activities during her stays - it has become a real home from home for her which means that I, as her main carer, can enjoy guilt-free respite time without worrying whether her needs are being met. Communication throughout has also been first-rate. Highly recommended.

My husband chose to stay in respite care as we moved home. Following a year of traumatic poor health he felt uneasy about the impact and chaos of the moving period. I sought a care home in the area with high-quality amenities and quality care. Cotman House was very clear, clean and professional in its
delivery. The staff were friendly and courteous and my husband was well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Cotman House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.784 for Cotman House is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.784
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cotman House is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Outside of Cotman House, Kirsty enjoys spending time with her family and her miniature Dachshund.
