Overton House

Overton House is a warm, welcoming dementia care home in Cottingham, East Yorkshire. We provide high‑quality residential care for up to 40 people, offering a safe and supportive place to live in the centre of this lively village.

Person‑Centred Dementia Care

Every person’s experience of dementia is different. That’s why our compassionate team delivers person‑centred care shaped around each resident’s needs, routines, and life story. This approach promotes independence, wellbeing, and dignity while helping residents feel understood and reassured.

A Home Designed for Comfort

Overton House is created to feel homely and inviting. Families can enjoy time together in our friendly kitchen area, and residents can relax with a pampering session in our on‑site hair salon. Our dedicated Activities Coordinator leads a varied programme of daily activities that support cognitive, physical, and emotional wellbeing.

Three Beautiful Gardens

A standout feature of Overton House is our trio of peaceful, accessible gardens. These outdoor spaces offer fresh air, quiet moments, and opportunities to spend time with loved ones. Residents can grow flowers or vegetables, enjoy gentle gardening, or simply relax in nature — activities that inspire creativity, purpose, and joy.

Specialist Residential Dementia Support

Our residential dementia care supports older people who need help with daily living while benefiting from specialist expertise. Families can feel confident knowing their loved one is supported by a committed team devoted to the highest standards of dementia care.
