What our families say

I’ve had a wonderful experience with Cossins House Care Home. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. The environment is warm, clean, and thoughtfully maintained, creating a true sense of home.
The team is compassionate, professional, and always attentive to individual needs. Whether it’s medical care, social activities, or simple day-to-day support, they go above and beyond to ensure residents are comfortable and happy.
The amenities are excellent, meals are well-prepared and nutritious, and there’s a genuine sense of community. It gives me great peace of mind knowing that our family friend JB is in such good hands.
Highly recommend Cossins House Care Home to anyone looking for a safe, supportive, and caring place to live.

My mother Frances has been with Cossins Care home since October 2020 and she is very happy. The professional and pastoral care shown to my Mum has been excellent. The staff are so kind and caring. I Would not hesitate to recommend Cossins House Care home .

It’s hard to find the right words to describe how fortunate we were to discover Cossins. My mother in law - who is resident there - says the (permanent, not agency) staff can not do enough for her, are always smiling and very kind. The food is tasty and presented in a tempting fashion. There is company, fun and creative activities and the most wonderful garden. She was not sure about leaving her own home but has never looked back. She has a room with all her own furniture and treasured possessions, is no longer lonely and feels she is part of an extended family. We could not be more grateful on her behalf.

Excellent care home, staff are very caring and well trained. I am so pleased to have moved here. It is a beautiful location with a fantastic garden. Always looked after by the gardener. Lots of activities and trips out. Lots of happy faces and never any trouble to get to hospital appointments.

I am a student volunteer at Cossins House Care Home. I have been volunteering for several weeks now and have found that the residents are happy and enjoy being there. Lisa (activities coordinator) is fantastic at her job and brings joy to all the residents. All the staff are helpful and kind and always available when needed. I look forward to my volunteering time every week.

"My mother has been resident at Cossins House for more than two years. She has been receiving excellent care throughout that time and finds the home comfortable and homely, and is able to choose well-cooked meals that suit her taste. The staff are exemplary, providing a safe, caring, and engaging environment. Several of them have worked at Cossins for many years, and every member of staff knows my mum, and our family, and treat her with dignity and as an individual. Although the building is old it is kept in immaculate condition, with well decorated en-suite rooms which look out over the lovely gardens. We could not be happier with the care that our mum receives at Cossins House."

"It's not just the physical environment that makes Cossins House exceptional (delicious food and beautiful gardens) - it is the attentive, compassionate and patient care given by all staff. Seamless co-ordination between the team and local services gives confidence that the medical needs of residents are met and pre-empted, taking away a lot of worry. The atmosphere is friendly and staff are always ready with a smile and a sense of humour. Varied activities are provided and are adjusted dependent on residents' abilities and interests. Staff take the trouble to get to know residents and tailor their care to their habits, likes and dislikes. Thank you to the Cossins Team who go above and beyond."

"My dad was a resident at Cossins for over 10 years. The standard of care was always excellent, particularly during his last few months. The love and support given to him and his family was outstanding and he was able to stay 'at home' to die peacefully."

"The staff at Cossins House were superb in caring for my late father-in-law as his health failed and he came to the end of his life. They were proactive and sensitive to the family's wishes. We and my father in law could not have hoped for more."

"After visiting my grandmother while on leave I am yet again taken aback how amazing the staff are at Cossins House. My grandmother is very comfortable and cared for beyond my wishes. We fed her lunch which was not only well-balanced but delicious by the looks of her empty plate yet again. Thank you from all of our family yet again for the ultimate top-class care, love and kindness shown to my grandmother. Many thanks."

"I cannot praise the staff of Cossins House Care Home enough. They are very attentive and caring in every way. Our sister was at home here since the first day she arrived. During lockdown, the staff kept us informed how sister was doing and we were able to "see her" on WhatsApp video. I would recommend this home. With gratitude for the care and attention given to her personal needs. Thank you."

"My gran couldn’t be happier than she is at Cossins House. Staff are polite and caring and have been keeping in contact with us during COVID. I am sent a lovely newsletter every month to show the wonderful activities taking place. The grounds are super and very well kept. I couldn’t ask for anything more than what is already offered at Cossins."

"I was so anxious about my mum moving to a care home but Cossins House is amazing. All the staff are genuinely caring and attentive and the activities coordinator is absolutely wonderful in keeping spirits up in an inclusive and genuinely fun way. Everyone participates and the activities are such great fun - there is a lot of humour and sometimes silliness which gives everyone a giggle. This is so unlike any care home I have visited in the past. My sincere thanks to all the staff and residents for making it such a cheerful place."

"With only the eyes of a visitor to the home I can only imagine that the residents are the luckiest people to be able to spend their days at Cossins. The atmosphere is so friendly and the attitude of all the staff is one of cheerful, dedicated care. The house is immaculately clean and the grounds are a joy to walk in. I would recommend Cossins to anyone."

"Cossins House is an excellent care home. My 90-year-old mum stayed for respite after a hospital visit and was treated with great love and kindness. The staff treated her with dignity at all times, the facilities were superb and the food was wholesome and nutritious. Mum was hesitant about staying in a care home, but they built up her strength and confidence, so that she was able to return home easier, certainly made a difficult time for our family much easier to cope with."

Since then, I have been treated very well in all manner of ways, from being washed and dressed in the morning, to throughout the day when I have been given cups of tea often. The Activity Coordinator provides us with a number of activities to help our well-being, mental and physical."

"The staff here continue to take such good care of my wife even as the help she needs increases. She enjoyed her trip out to a local garden centre recently. Yesterday she was sitting outside in the sun with others when I visited with my son. When I told them that it was his birthday, all the staff came out to sing happy birthday to him. This is how memories are made. Thank you."
