A varied menu of nutritious meals is enjoyed by all residents, with the home treating mealtimes as an important part of the day and making sure there are always drinks and light snacks available.
There is a real sense of community at Cottenham Court. Gardening, exercise classes and crafts are examples of some of the hobbies residents have embraced, while visits from a local theatre group and Pets as Therapy also provide good mental and physical stimulation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

After a number of falls, my Mum needed to move to a care home urgently right at the start of the coronavirus lockdown. The manager of Cottenham Court and all her team did a wonderful job during a very difficult time. With their 24 x 7 support and care, Mum was able to transition quickly into life...
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.

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.
