What inspectors found

Inspected 2019-02-08

  • Is this home safe?

    Good
    The Safe domain was rated Good at the January 2019 inspection. This typically means inspectors were satisfied with how the home manages risk, staffing, medicines, and infection control. However, the published report contains no specific observations about staffing ratios, falls management, medicine administration, or incident learning. The home has 27 beds and supports people with complex needs including dementia, which makes staffing adequacy particularly important. No concerns were recorded.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the care effective?

    Good
    The Effective domain was rated Good at the January 2019 inspection. This domain normally covers care planning, staff training, GP access, nutrition, and how well the home works with external health professionals. The published report provides no specific detail on any of these areas. The home supports people with dementia, which makes dementia-specific training and care planning particularly relevant. No concerns were recorded.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is this home caring?

    Good
    The Caring domain was rated Good at the January 2019 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether residents are supported to maintain their independence. The published report contains no direct quotes from residents or relatives and no specific observations of staff interactions. No concerns were recorded. The home supports people with a range of needs including dementia, where non-verbal communication and the pace of care are particularly important.

  • Is the home responsive?

    Good
    The Responsive domain was rated Good at the January 2019 inspection. This domain covers activities, individual engagement, and how the home responds to residents' preferences and changing needs. The published report contains no detail about the activity programme, one-to-one engagement, or how the home supports residents who cannot join group sessions. The home supports people with dementia, for whom tailored individual activities are particularly important. No concerns were recorded.
    Verified by inspector
  • Is the home well-led?

    Good
    The Well-led domain was rated Good at the January 2019 inspection. The nominated individual for the home is listed as Ms Amanda Jayne Robinson, and the home is run by Coton Care Limited. The published report contains no detail about the manager's visibility, staff culture, governance processes, or how the home handles complaints and learning from incidents. A monitoring review in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a reassessment of the rating. No concerns were recorded.

The DCC Verdict

Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.

68/ 100

DCC Family Score

Coton Grange holds a Good rating across all five domains, but the inspection report published in February 2019 contains very little specific observational detail, so scores reflect a broadly positive but evidence-thin picture. Families should treat this as a starting point for their own enquiries rather than a detailed endorsement.

Homes in West Midlands typically score 68–82.
DCC Recommendation

Worth a visit

Coton Grange, a 27-bed residential care home on Stockwell End in Wolverhampton, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its inspection in January 2019. The home supports adults over 65, people living with dementia, and people with mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and sensory impairments. A monitoring review carried out in July 2023 found no evidence requiring a reassessment of the rating, so the Good rating remains in place. The main limitation here is that the published inspection text contains almost no specific observational detail, direct quotes from residents or relatives, or named examples of good practice. A Good rating is a meaningful baseline, but it was awarded more than six years ago, and a great deal can change in that time, including staffing, management, and the physical environment. Before making a decision, visit in person, ask to see the staffing rota for the past two weeks including nights, request an up-to-date activity schedule, and ask whether the manager who was in post in 2019 is still leading the home.
