The Cotswold Home

My mum had a lovely stay for 7 days, she had fun during her stay, got to know other people and enjoyed sitting in the garden, everyone was very friendly, she will be coming again she loved the food too.

My mother has spent over a month at The Cotswold Home and has been looked after incredibly well. The staff are kind, patient and always good-humoured. The home is bright and clean, beautifully decorated with large gardens and the bonus of the Bradwell Village gardens next door to be enjoyed in the sunshine. She's thoroughly enjoyed the food and the friendships she made with the staff. We can't thank you enough and we highly recommend The Cotswold Home, whether for respite care or long-term living.

My mother needed some respite care following a fall at home and brief hospital admission. At short notice, a room was made available, and Mum was soon enjoying a 5-star luxury holiday with all the trimmings! Not only are the rooms immaculate, every part of the home is the same, including the lovely gardens. There is a relaxed atmosphere the moment you walk through the doors, and you know this is a safe and happy place. Food is plentiful and very appetising, and if you are a visitor, you can have lunch with your loved one or help yourself to a treat in reception. Every member of the team is so kind and professional and goes the extra mile without being asked. Mum calls it her second home, and there really is no better accolade I can give. I would recommend The Cotswold Home to anyone who wants the very best for their loved ones.

The Cotswold Home accepted dad last minute having been discharged from hospital physically and mentally very weak. Dad lives alone and we wanted him to enjoy care and attention with a goal to regain the strength to tackle the medical treatment he will subject himself to fight cancer. Having been in his new home for 2 weeks we can safely say he is in the best place possible and I go further and say best home! The home and staff provide a clean, fresh and friendly environment. Everybody, staff and residents are all so happy and loving which had given our dad a great feeling of happiness during so very sad and dark times. Well done all.

Many thanks to all the staff.

My mother continues to enjoy her time with The Cotswold Home. The staff are kind and courteous, and Mum has felt relaxed and happy. It's been very reassuring for my brother and myself, and I feel that she is in safe hands.

Mum has been in this home since September last year. The home is clean, bright and airy with cheery staff and it is a relief to know that she is being well looked after and comfortable. She has made friends among the other residents and enjoys being there. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a residential home for a relative.

Mum is very comfortable and treated with exceptional care. Thank you.

Our mum was admitted in October 2022 and she has received nothing less than excellent care. It is so reassuring to know that the home is efficiently managed and run by people who really do. We would not hesitate in recommending this home to anyone who needs reassurance that their loved ones will be in safe and capable hands.

I have been a resident here for five years, gave up smoking after three months, it was quite easy with the change of environment. Am possibly better than when I came (I am an asthmatic). All are very kind here, very good food.

The standard of care and especially the provision of the quality and presentation of the food are both excellent. I have no reservations about recommending this home. It is a home-from-home.

Permanent staff are generally extremely kind, caring and adaptable but it is very apparent that they are very stretched at times. Not enough of them which is so sad when paying so much money.

He stayed four weeks, after which we moved him to another care home situated much more conveniently in our own town. The manager affected the transfer in the home’s mini-bus and even accompanied us on the journey to ensure a smooth hand-over and for that we are very grateful.

Mum has made friends and is very happy here. Having arrived in December, Mum has yet to experience the lovely garden and grounds, but I know she will love these. Mum is now a happier person than when she was at home.

After a knee operation, I have had extremely good care here from all the staff who are very friendly and cheerful. The physiotherapy has been fantastic and has put me on the right road to recovery. I have looked forward to my meals, especially lunch and considering the catering is for so many people daily, it is of a very high standard. The ambiance in the home is warm and welcoming and I would recommend it most certainly to making a good convalescence.

A very dear and close family friend I called aunty for almost 60 years, was placed in the Cotswold home for end of life care. This is a difficult time for any family, both she and her family were well supported and their wishes were considered in an understanding and caring way with all decisions. On visiting, it was clear that she was extremely well looked after and was made very comfortable, with nothing being too much trouble. The management and staff are extremely caring. I would recommend the Cotswold Home to anyone considering respite care, long term care or end of life care.

Overall, the experience at The Cotswold Home has been very positive for my 96-year-old mother who came for respite care after covid and after having had a fall. The facilities are first class; everywhere is spotless and the gardens are beautiful. The atmosphere is light, spacious and industrious. The main members of staff (the nurses, the physio, the people on reception) have been wonderful; some night carers have, however, caused low level distress!

After a series of falls, my mother spent two months at The Cotswold Home. From the very beginning, the staff have been outstanding; nothing is too much trouble. Mum was assessed by staff members whilst she was still in the local hospital, they made the round trip of several hours to ensure that when Mum arrived the care she received would be tailored to her needs. Moving out of the hospital and into the home was difficult for Mum and the family. The staff were there to support us all throughout the transition. We had been concerned Mum might just stay in her room, but the staff were attentive and encouraging without being directive, ensuring mum quickly integrated into the routine of the home. The facilities are all excellent. Pleasant living rooms and activities, everything is on hand. Local hairdressers, physios and podiatrists visit regularly; all providing quality care. The Cotswold Home is a special place, staffed by special people. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

The Cotswold Home have provided my mother with wonderful care for the last few months, ensuring she is comfortable and safe as she transitioned from independence to being cared for. She is now engaged in a wide range of social activities, is eating well and is very happy. She clearly has a great relationship with the staff, who know her needs and preferences. Her medical and physical care is exemplary.

I was at The Cotswold for three weeks' respite. Memorable to say the least! I felt totally spoiled in every way. Totally full marks to everyone. The general manager deserves special praise.
