Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I arrived here after breaking my hip very badly. I had the operation (very well) I am sure, and arrived here a week later on 13/01/2021 for rehab. I was met with smiles and care beyond all expectations. I was given a bed bath on arrival and another one the next day. Physio regularly, and all aids necessary
and help provided as I progressed through the day and night. The atmosphere here is very friendly, professional and encouraging. The dining room beautiful, and the food excellent with a very good healthy choice and very well served. The surroundings are quiet, and the garden well kept.
Reply from Amanda Cordery, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you, Mary, for your kind words and feedback. I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us, and we miss your lively input during our dining room experience.
It was lovely to see you improve in your mobility with the assistance of our in-house physiotherapist, and from arriving quite immobile to walking out at the end of your stay.
I am so pleased we were able to make a difference.
I hope to see you again if you need our services.
Thank you.

Review from Hugh B (Nephew of Resident) published on 8 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report

My aunt has been in The Cotswold Home since August 2019.
She chose to go there as it has an excellent local reputation, and I was greatly reassured by the then manager's assertion that "we always look after our local ladies"
From the start of my aunt's residency, and throughout the very difficult
recent pandemic, I have always found the home staff to be particularly approachable and accommodating, and that the environment is safe and nurturing for anyone at that stage of life.
There is always a twinge of guilt one feels when your loved one goes into a home, but in the case of The Cotswold Home, I know she is far better looked after there than I or any other members of my family could ever possibly provide.
The dignity and kindness afforded her is what I expect and what she deserves, and I would have not hesitation in recommending this establishment to others considering it for a family member.
Reply from Amanda Cordery, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you for your very kind and appreciated comments. We, at The Cotswold Home, aim to ensure our residents receive the highest level of person-centred care and always welcome any feedback. Your aunt is a very valued member of our home community.

Having had an aortic valve replacement surgery in hospital, I spent one week here at The Cotswold Home to help me to recover before returning home to my husband, who needs support. In every respect, the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful (especially with medication). Thank you to everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum and dad came to this care home after a very unhappy experience in another in Kent. Thank goodness the homes are incomparable - the food, staff, care have been wonderful and despite difficult personal circumstances they settled in well. The manager and carers have been really well organised during
the lockdown and have managed to keep us well informed and to facilitate FaceTime when possible. Sadly, mum passed away in June 2020 after a short illness. Mum was treated with the utmost compassion, dignity and respect and Dad received extra attention and time and kindness during this difficult period. We, as a family, also received wonderful support and kindness and visits we’re facilitated in accordance with guidelines and despite restrictions to enable us to be at Mum's bedside during her last days. I have utter respect for the manager, and her team and am confident that Dad will continue to receive the support and care he needs, especially in these difficult weeks after mum’s passing.
Reply from Helen Adams, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you for your kind words in regards to myself and the rest of the team here at the Cotswold Home. Your Mum is still missed by all, but especially myself.

The Cotswold Home is exceptional in every way. The way they have dealt with the pandemic is testament to the professionalism and dedication of the entire team. However, beyond the Covid crisis life goes on in care homes and in this one my parents have been well very cared for, very well fed and in truth
loved. The move to the Cotswold Home was from another home and the differences were stark. I cannot recommend it highly enough.
Reply from Helen Adams, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you for the lovely feedback that you have given to the team, it is greatly appreciated for recognition of the care that the team provide.

My mother spent her last few weeks at The Cotswold Home. Although she proved a difficult case, she was always treated with care and respect, and because of this, her last weeks of life were made much easier. The newsletters from the Home were always helpful, and we (the family) are most grateful to
the manager and the team at Cotswold Home for looking after our Mum and making the last few weeks of her life as pleasant as possible. We are equally grateful for the care lavished on our Dad, who is also a resident and is in relatively good health. I phone him every Sunday, and he never has a negative word to say. I warmly recommend The Cotswold Home to anyone with elderly relations who need caring for.
Reply from Helen Adams, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeI would never class your Mother a difficult case, she was unique and we miss her character and smiles. Thank you for your lovely words to myself and the team here; it is how I want us to appear, one team.

This is a fantastic home - amazing staff, and a very caring atmosphere. It feels homely, the food is good and the gardens are lovely. It’s a big step when loved ones move into residential care, but I’ve no doubt at all that this is the best possible home my dad could be in.

My mother was admitted as a full-time resident after a life-threatening illness and a hospital stay, aged 94. Gradually, her health and mobility improved so much that several months later, she was able to return to her own home where she now had a live-in carer. She was wonderfully cared for by everyone
at the Cotswold Home and she and all her family are hugely grateful.
Reply from Catherine Lines, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you for your review we get so much pleasure seeing our residents able to return to independent living.

I was most impressed with the Elizabeth Finn Care Home at Bradwell Grove. The staff were all excellent and very kind and helpful. The home is well run, the accomodation comfortable and there is a nice atmosphere.
The food is good and also the entertainment. The garden is pleasant and well kept.
I
would have no hesitation in recommending the home to relations or friends.

My experience was very good except for the lack of regular (i.e. daily) showers. Response times to calls for assistance were generally slow.
Reply from Catherine Lines, General Manager at The Cotswold HomeThank you for your comments. We have addressed the access to daily showers with improvements made to all of the lower floor bathing areas. Call bells times are checked daily for response times and extended waits are investigated on an individual basis and the extended waits are usually as a result of care staff prioritising with emergency responses or sicker, frailer residents requiring more than one member of staff to deliver safe effective care.

Very friendly reception and all numerous staff.
Stayed for a week of "respite" and enjoyed good food and conversation at meals and pleasant view of a green landscape. As a first experience, (although 87 years old), it was entirely positive.
He is determined to do as much as he can for himself but
very friendly and accessible staff always there to help.

My sister initially came to the home for respite. Her life changed dramatically when she had a urine infection. She then became a resident. For the next two years, she was so well cared for from the nursing staff who looked after her with such kindness, to the other carers who cared for her social life.
Everything was so well thought about from daily newspapers, hairdresser and even manicures. The responsibility of getting it right for your nearest is great, but I can honestly say I can only feel grateful to the home for making years special.

From the initial phone call, I felt relief that someone was there to help. They worked quickly and efficiently to help get Mum out of hospital and into their beautiful home. We knew we were looking at Palliative care for a short period of time but they made Mum's last week a calming and peaceful experience.
Everyone was so helpful and understanding. It is just a shame Mum didn't have longer to enjoy her surroundings.

The Cotswold Home accepted my husband for care at very short notice, he being in hospital, able to leave but no care package in place. I cannot express my admiration for the standard of care and all the staff which was, and are, excellent.
He returned home "100% better" in his words and was very happy
there, so much so that he is happily returning for 2 weeks respite care in June which gives me 100% peace of mind. For him to go there was the best decision I have made on his behalf.

My mother had limited mobility but was encouraged to participate in many activities, the occasional outing and made friends at the dining table! She appreciated the excellent facilities. Gradually the physical abilities declined until she required full nursing care. This was well-planned and executed
with medical input as necessary. Her choice of pureed food and thickened drinks were always nicely presented and given right to the end. She retained her mental faculties and astute perception, enjoying conversations with staff sharing knowledge and life's ups and downs. She was fortunate to have a light sunny room looking into the orchard and country fields beyond - good bird watching over the years. The Cotswold Home became her home and the little oasis of calm for us as a family to visit and spend time, with support from us as well as her.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for The Cotswold Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.798 for The Cotswold Home is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.798
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cotswold Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
