About Cosham Court Nursing Home

Cosham Court Nursing Home is a nursing care home based in Portsmouth, offering a place where residents can feel settled and supported close to the heart of their community. Families looking into care options in the area will find a home that aims to provide a familiar, comfortable environment for those with nursing needs. It can bring real peace of mind to know that loved ones are being cared for within reach of family and friends across Portsmouth and the surrounding area.

Cosham Court Nursing Home accommodates up to 47 people requiring nursing care, with 32 residents at the time of inspection. Inspectors identified significant concerns around infection control management, with some areas of the home poorly maintained and staff not consistently wearing personal protective equipment such as masks. Care records including care plans and risk assessments lacked clarity and consistency, with some conflicting information that could lead to inappropriate care.

On the first day of inspection, prescribed topical medicines were not consistently applied as required, though this was immediately addressed when raised with staff. All other medicines were managed safely and appropriate recruitment procedures were in place with adequate staffing levels to support residents' needs.
