Over all time Cotswold House Care Home has 37 reviews.
All staff at Cotswold House were exemplary whilst caring for my Mother In Law during her stay here (with advanced Dementia). During our visits here it was evident at all times of how dedicated and caring all staff were to all of the residents, and also how supportive of their relatives they all were. The progression of this debilitating disease is so hard to endure, yet the joy we had here visiting my Mother In Law, and participating and enjoying the enormously varied activity events provided by the Activities Team, their enthusiasm and delight at seeing the joy they bought to residents was as overwhelming as our happiness. Their delight in passing on other experiences of other activities and my Mother In Laws interactions was heartwarming and has given us so many treasured memories of my Mother In Law. The welcome by staff upon arrival, smiles and greetings from all other staff whilst passing through the home fully reinforced the "this is their home" integration.
We are truly delighted to hear that your family and Mother in Law had such a positive experience during her stay with us. It means a great deal to our team to know that she was well cared for and was able to enjoy the activities...
Communication with the family was good, always available should we need to ask any questions and so helpful too either by email or phone.
Thank you all, so much.
We are very grateful for your feedback and your kind words, thank you.
I have been enormously grateful to this fantastic staff. The regular doctor's visits, the sense of home, the ability of overworked staff to pay individual attention to the residents and to see the wonderful human being my husband is underneath the fear and anxiety. He is now more contented and calm, his sense of humour is back, and our visits are lovely. I feel so comfortable knowing he is in such good hands and I am able to simply be his wife when with him and to relax and feel free when I go home.
This is a smaller Care home, the scale feels like being AT home rather than IN a home. The food is really good, and the activities are appropriate to his abilities.
If you are looking for an alternative to the somewhat impersonal large, modern care homes with the many amenities that abound - this is it.
Thank you for your lovely review. I am so pleased that your husband has settled well here and that you able to enjoy spending time together. We try as much as we can to create a homely atmosphere and i'm glad that is how it feels when you visit. I will of course pass on your comments to the staff - they will be pleased to hear your feedback. Thank you again.
My mother lived at Cotswold House from Feb 2025 to earlier this month when she died. We had two recommendations from different friends & experience of two other local homes that we tried for respite first before choosing this as her permanent home when she became frail & could no longer live with us. It's the staff that make Cotswold House unbeatable. My mother was treated caringly & with great respect & affection; despite her dementia she did connect with the lovely, gentle & kind nurses who looked after her so carefully & considerately. She was always clean & well turned out, & great care was taken to put necklaces & her watch on each day. Her health & her needs were carefully monitored, & her room & her possessions were also well-looked after too. Cotswold House is not as smart as some other homes locally, but that's window dressing. The people here are kind, trustworthy & genuine. They run a tight professional family ship from the top down & we highly recommend Cotswold House .
We were very touched to read your lovely review B H, thank you for your kind words. I am so pleased that you feel choosing us was the right decision for your mum. I will of course share your comments with the team who I know will be very grateful for the recognition. Thank you.
My dad was admitted to Cotswold House last year. The team worked with us so that they could give him the best possible care and quality of life. They ensured that Dad's last few months were happy, peaceful and comfortable.
GP and nursing care was outstanding. Clinical expertise and leadership ensured that any minor change in his health was identified, investigated and treated immediately and appropriately.
The activities provided catered for all interests and abilities with appropriate and stimulating activities. Dad had daily 1:1 sessions which he really enjoyed.
The environment was spotlessly clean and fresh with no unpleasant odours. There was also a warm family atmosphere rather than a clinical or institutional environment.
Dad was treated with great respect, dignity and compassion throughout his stay. We commend everyone and take great comfort from the expert care, compassion and love.
Highly recommended.
Thank you for your kind and detailed review, it is lovely to hear of your experience. We will share your feedback with the whole team as I know it will mean a lot to them. Thank you for recommending us.
I visit the home several times in the week. The staff always have a smile always willing to make people happy even sometimes it must be hard. I'm sure they do all they can to help all the clients. They also have the animals it which the clients adore them all. Guinea pigs, a donkey and the dog.
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback! We see such a great benefit to the residents when animals visit the home and plan to offer more of this.
Since my sister has been in Cotsworld House Care Home, I feel that they understand her needs and the way that she communicates with her eyes and facial expressions. My sister is non-verbal so it's reassuring to know they understand her. My sister has very complex needs, not only non-verbal, she is unable to walk and is also peg-fed. I feel the home manages these needs extremely well.
Thank you very much for your review. The staff are very fond of your sister and I'm glad you feel they manage her needs well.
Great staff who invariably work with a smile on their faces, despite the difficulties of working with dementia sufferers.
Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated.
The activities are a noy and it is great to join in! He does sometimes appear in other people's clothes and has lost 3 pairs of glasses, 1 pair of shoes and slippers but as long as he's getting the care it's the last of our worries. Thank you.
Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you feel your husband is well cared for and enjoys the activities. I'm sorry to hear of the missing items but will raise this with the team who will do their best to locate them.
My son was very anxious in transferring to a care home for end-of-life care. His care has been managed very well. Enabling staff to treat him with respect and warmth, to consult him on his needs, and to meet them with compassion.
Thank you for your review, I am glad you feel your son is well cared for. I will pass on your comments to the team who will be glad to hear them.
My mum was a resident for 13 months and received such wonderful care from all the staff. She was confined to bed the whole time but was still able to join in the activities as they were taken to her room which she really enjoyed. All staff were friendly, caring and loving towards Mum. In her last few days, I was with Mum all day and the care staff were so lovely to me too. I really appreciated their kindness during that really difficult and sad time. Thank you to you all, you're truly amazing.
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are always very grateful to hear about your experience. I will make sure to pass on your comments to the staff team who will be very pleased to hear them.
My husband suffered from Dementia and was with you for the last eight months of his life. During this time he was settled and appeared calm and in good spirits. He was always clean and showered and warm. The staff were excellent, always very kind to my husband and always very kind to myself and my family. During his final days, he was treated with great respect and dignity and had a calm and peaceful death with myself and my daughter present.
Thank you very much for your kind words, especially relating to the staff team. I know they will be pleased to hear how they have made a difference to you and your family. We wish you all the very best.
She was always treated with dignity and compassion. The kindness and compassion shown by the team to myself and the family at really difficult times will never be forgotten.
Thank you for your kind review and lovely comments. Mum is dearly missed in the home, but it is reassuring to know that you and your family felt supported and that Mum was cared for so well. All the staff try incredibly hard and I'm glad this was reflected in your experience.
As my husband's descent into the abyss of dementia accelerated all of the staff at Cotswold House responded magnificently as his behaviour became more challenging, along with his care needs increasing exponentially. I shall always be grateful for their loving compassionate care of him in his final weeks, along with their support of me. Throughout his three-plus years at Cotswold House Care Home, all the staff treated him with endless patience and kindness and made sure that he enjoyed each day as much as possible.
Thank you very much for the lovely review, I will pass on your comments to the team who I'm sure will be very touched.
I'm pleased with everything Cotswold House Care Home staff have done for my husband. I like the fact that residents are entertained regularly and have plenty of activities. The rooms are clean, bright and comfortable and the staff are very helpful. My husband has enjoyed the meals provided, he nearly always finishes the entire meal! It's safe, secure and I feel it's good value for money.
Thank you for taking the time to review Cotswold House and for your lovely comments. It's great to hear that your husband enjoys all his meals and activities and that the staff are so helpful. The team will be delighted to hear your feedback, thank you.
My aunt moved in over two years ago, she has settled well. Myself and the family are so happy, she is well looked after by the best staff and she's safe. When we visit the staff are really nice and helpful.
Thank you for your very kind words. I am so glad your Aunt is settled and you and your family are happy with the care provided. I will pass your comments on to the team who I am sure will be very grateful to hear them.
An amazing team of staff; carers, seniors, nurses, management team etc. Good communication from the home to myself about any concerns regarding my family member. Excellent care given. Staff are always polite and welcoming.
Thank you for your kind review, I will make sure your feedback is shared with the team. It means a great deal to every one to hear your positive comments.
A relative stayed in an attic room for a couple of months. She had been in hospital for 6 months and she and her family understood her time at Cotswold House was to further help her regain her strength before she returned home. Instead, her well-being deteriorated. The room was shabby and very warm. On day one she had one very thin pillow, the need for extra pillows, a footstool and a toilet seat was only addressed when we asked - this should have been assessed as soon as she arrived and showed the overall calibre of the home in general.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience did not match your expectations. Because of privacy regulations, I can’t comment publicly about an individual’s wellbeing, however, it is our top priority to make sure residents are comfortable and well cared for. All residents...
Mum went to Cotswold House Care Home for 3 weeks respite care after contracting Covid-19. She said the staff were wonderful and looked after her really well. She felt thoroughly spoilt. A hard act for me to follow now she has returned home.
Dad was transferred direct from Hospital to the Care Home, as soon as he had arrived we were notified by the Care Home that he had arrived safely.
The team at the home have helped Dad to settle as best as they can and he seems now to be happy and comfortable in their care.
Any worry we had about him being in the home was laid to rest due to the very friendly and helpful nature of the Manager and her staff.
The Manager really has gone out of her way to help ensure dad is happy and relaxed whilst he is in her care and we can not thank her enough for all she is doing. Her thoughtfulness means so much to our family.
When we ring to get an update on how Dad is doing, the nursing team are always happy to talk to you and to explain how things have been going.
A big thank you to all the staff in this immensely difficult time.
