The home changed owner in April 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Corton House is an independent 44-bed residential care home in Norwich, Norfolk, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. The typical home in Norfolk has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in November 2025. 89% of homes in Norfolk also score 5. Across Norfolk, 67% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
