Review from A E (Respite Resident) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I used the respite care service at Cottenham Court as convalescence following an operation. As a widower, I needed support to make the transition back to everyday life. The care here has been everything that I needed it to be, provided in a friendly and welcoming way. My dietary requirements were accommodated with no problem.

Review from Ellen F (Friend of Resident) published on 11 March 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The resident I visited until her recent death was happy and well looked after. Her care throughout her stay was excellent and she was treated with affection and tenderness in her final days. Staff were helpful and kept me informed. I believe Cottenham Court is a happy and caring place for residents, my impression is that it is also a happy place for staff and that is reflected in the standard of care.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Cottenham Court Care Home

We are saddened to hear about the loss of your loved one and appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. It is always nice to hear words like “tenderness” and “excellent” being used to describe our care, and we will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.

This is a wonderfully welcoming, kind and friendly-staffed care home. The care is second to none and the rooms and décor are clean and up to date. It has a lovely atmosphere. My mum is very well cared for. The food always looks lovely. The staff are very approachable and eager to involve you as a relative. The administration staff are also very helpful. It feels like a family.

Review from Henrietta C (Resident / Service User) published on 16 November 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have been here for nine months and continue to be impressed and touched at the excellent quality of care that I receive. The environment is consistently positive, friendly, respectful, safe and well organised. This comes from the managers and from across all the staff team. There is a strong ethos here of responding flexibly to the individual needs and wishes of each resident. I feel that my needs are well understood and fully met and that my wishes are heard, respected and responded to positively. This is so important as it enables me to have as good a quality of life as I can, given my condition. The physical environment is also very good. The home is purpose built and is excellently maintained, including new carpets and curtains recently fitted. There are colourful pictures along the corridors, there is a spacious lounge/activities area, and a lovely courtyard garden. The staff do what they can to make each resident feel as at home as possible - and I do.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Cottenham Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear you feel so respected and excellently cared for, in every single aspect, by everybody you come across in our home. We want nothing more than for anybody staying at Cottenham Court to feel a part of our Bupa family, and we are so pleased you do. We will certainly pass your feedback onto the manager.

Thank you. It was a very traumatic experience having to bring my aunt to a care home but the staff were so reassuring that she would settle ( wasn't sure) I have had lovely reports from her friends who have visited her. I have come today (from where I live) and have found a well-settled, neat and happy 104-year-old person. Going to the restaurant and joining in the activities.

Review from Sally S (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum initially moved into Cottenham Court for two weeks respite after a few falls at home. As a result, she decided she didn't want to leave and so is now a resident. Belonging to the community here appears to have transformed her sense of well-being. Since her arrival, I have noticed several changes in her attitude. Mum is mostly happy and content, much more sociable, loves the staff and enjoys taking part in the weekly timetabled activities.
The cost of staying at Cottenham Court does worry mum. However, we are doing the best we can to manage her financial situation to enable her to remain if she wishes.

During my weekly visits, I am always welcomed; staff are friendly and chatty. I am incredibly grateful for the way staff care for Mum and ensure her safety.

Reply from Rebecca Kellegher, Customer Service Adviser at Cottenham Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely comments. We are so pleased to hear your Mum settled so nicely and is now a permanent resident with us. If there is anything more we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible please don't hesitate to let us know.

I came here for a month's respite after an operation on my foot. I needed 24-hour care and it was offered here. I can't fault the staff and management-they have treated me with respect and care and I felt safe and secure. They arrange everything e.g. hospital transport, escorts, physio (private), chiropodist and activities. They treat everybody with respect and have good relationships with their clients.
