Thank you for your review. It is lovely to hear you say our staff are excellent, friendly and caring. Thank you again for choosing us to care for you.
My father highlights the friendliness of the staff, he is very comfortable and grateful for everything in the home.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad to hear you are happy with everything and that your father is comfortable in our care.
On visits to the home, I've always found it to be friendly and the place to be clean and tidy. The rooms could be a little larger but are well furnished. It has two large dining areas and plenty of lounge space. The residents are encouraged to take part in activities provided for them and sometimes have people in to entertain them. Regarding the gardens, they are well kept and residents have a courtyard garden for their use. When I have had any questions to ask, the staff have always given clear answers or found out for me the required information.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your brother's stay as comfortable as possible.
Placing my uncle here was a very worrying time for me. But all of the staff in Cottenham Court Care Home were happy to spend time with me and my uncle to blend in and feel comfortable. A massive thank you.

We were truly impressed with the prompt, knowledgeable and professional service which we received from the manager and staff at Cottenham Court Care Home. The friendly, helpful and smooth process allayed our concerns about placing Mum there. The quality service provided was fully exemplified in this quote: "Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear." - William Shakespeare, sincere thanks.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy to hear that any concerns you had were quickly dealt with and allayed by the service provided at Cottenham Court. Thank you again for your kind words.
Discharged from hospital after four days treatment for UTI. Live on my own and not fit enough to go home and look after myself. Family arranged two weeks respite care. This has built me up to the point where I can go home with some daily carer hours. Expectations and hope is that I shall be able to resume my previous independent living.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad to hear that your stay has enabled you to go back to your home and regain some independence. Thank you again for choosing us for your stay.
Excellent care, well looked after, needs attended to. Everything Spotless, no problems at all, needs seem to be no trouble for staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Nan happy. Staff are friendly and helpful. Excellent service all round.
Thank you for your kind words. We are delighted to hear you are satisfied with the quality of our care.
Looking after mum very well under very difficult conditions - Covid-19.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. We are so pleased to hear you can feel at ease with your Mum in our care. Please let us know if there's anything more we can do.
I was very well looked after, although I was able to do most things for myself. The food and wine were very much appreciated. The room was comfortable and secure.
Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you are satisfied with the quality of our care.
The manager and team provided great support and reassurance for my wife and I during a stressful time.
Activities for residents were very limited due to coronavirus lockdown preventing external visitors/activity providers, but the staff went the extra mile to organise a range of activities.
We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time.
This home has created a safe, caring environment for my father. I can relax knowing he is happy and looked after. A lot of staff have gone the extra mile during COVID to help keep contact and reassure.
We are very happy to hear you are satisfied with the quality of our care. Thank you for your kind words.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff (office and carers) I know dad needs the support you all give him and I know he enjoys the meals. I am happy he is in safe hands.
Thank you for trusting us with your fathers care. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such lovely comments.
Cottenham Court and the staff are extremely caring. Residents are able to be individuals making choices as far as possible - and are treated with care and dignity. The accommodation is comfortable and nicely presented. Best of all, is the care is excellent - if I need care in the future, I would want it to be somewhere similar.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us such lovely comments.
I visited today and it was wonderful to have a long chat with my friend. The first time since lockdown. Thank you to all the staff for enabling this to happen and for keeping everybody safe.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review.
My husband has been so well looked after since arriving here in February. Although he has found lockdown difficult it has been managed well. The only issues I have are with communication occasionally. This must be due to the workload of the staff.
We will certainly discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help us continually improve our service.

Meet the Team (2)

We put our residents at the centre of everything we do, we are in this job because we care. Residents tell us they feel safe.

I have been at Cottenham Court just over a year, I first joined Bupa as a care assistant which I had been doing for 4 years then I got the opportunity to develop my career further as a trainee nurse associate.
What I love about my job is the people, we have a great team and amazing residents. It’s a great pleasure to work at Cottenham Court making a difference to peoples lives and making sure they receive a high standard of care.
I like to balance my work life with my social life; apart from studying I like to do crafting and love walking.
