My husband who has Dementia and a severe stroke calls it home he's happy, adores the food ( which is excellent by the way), loves the staff who are very kind and patient with him.
Also I don't know how they managed it but he was taken out of the home in a wheelchair for a trip around Bakewell and he loved it, thank you.
I know my husband can't be easy at times but
If ever there were angels on earth they work a Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home.
It is our greatest pleasure to look after your husband, there is not a day goes by that he doesn't make us all smile.
Nothing is too much trouble. I am astounded at the way every person is treated with friendliness. My health is important to me and this is something that the staff are eager to uphold
Thank you for your feedback which I will happily share with the staff, I'm glad you enjoy the home cooked food.
It became evident that he required more care. We arranged for him to be admitted to Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home. We have visited him regularly each week and have found him to be content and happy in his surroundings. He loves the food and has settled well. The staff are very kind and helpful and work to a high standard. The Manager and support team are also very helpful with any queries or concerns. The Home is managed to a very high standard. I would highly recommend Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home.
Thank you for your lovely comments I will share this with the team.
Care received for mom is of high quality and nothing is too much trouble.All staff are friendly, caring and approachable making not only mom but the whoe family welcome at all times.The management and staff keep us well informed and up to date with all issues
Thank you for your lovely feedback, I will share this with the staff.
It's taken me some time to write this. My mum was transferred to the cottage for end of life care. Sadly it was only for a few days but I was overwhelmed by how wonderful the staff were during this time. My mum received the utmost care in a clean and comfortable room, a home from home. The food looked and smelled lovely. The staff were wonderful caring for my mum and to the family showing compassion and understanding at a very difficult time. My mum passed away peacefully and with dignity in a beautiful room in her home town. The staff were incredibly kind and I will be forever grateful that mum was able to be in such surroundings with caring staff where nothing was too much trouble.
It was a pleasure to know and care for your mum and her family at such a sad time. I will share your lovely review with the staff.
Staff are all very friendly and helpful. They always seem to have interesting things going on for the residents with a variety of special days and guests. The staff have a great way of making a connection to each person.
Thank you for your comments, they will be shared with the staff.
The home is always clean and has a true family feel. Staff took time to understand her needs, preferences, and personality.
Knowing she was so well cared for gave us immense peace of mind. We can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend Bakewell Cottage to anyone looking for a loving, supportive environment for their loved one.
It was an honor and a great pleasure to care for your grandmother, she is missed.
Thank you to all staff involved.
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad he settled in so well. I will pass this onto the rest of the team, especially the kitchen staff.
It is always clean and staff seem very adaptable to the different needs of residents.
Thank you for your positive comments, I will share them with the staff.
My mother will have been in the home for two years on 2nd December, following a stroke. Initially Mum thought she could cope at home with a little bit of help, but unfortunately, this wasn't practical due to her being paralyzed down the left side and all family members working full time. The carers soon took Mum to their hearts due to her sense of humour and she slowly settled into care home life. The staff at the home have been very friendly to me and my family and are always approachable if we have an issue. The food is fantastic, cooked on-site with lots of variation. There are activities most afternoons, if she wishes to join in. The gardens are lovely and private where she can sit out and enjoy the fresh air. They also hold events where family members can join in. I will admit I hated the thought of Mum being in a care home but I can't thank the staff enough for their care and patience, which puts my mind at ease as I know she is well looked after.
Thank you for your lovely review, the staff enjoy Mum's humour and this is reflected in the banter between them. I will share your comments with the team.
My father has been a resident of Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home since May 2024 and has really thrived there. The staff are lovely and very caring. There are always activities and events going on, in addition to clubs he can join. He wasn't able to live independently alone anymore but he has quality of life at the Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home and is very settled and happy there. I visit a lot of care homes in the course of my job, and the Cottage is the best I have seen. It really is in a class of its own.
Thank you so much for the glowing review. I will ensure it is shared with the staff.
My mother was a resident at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home for 9 months, and was very happy there. The staff were always kind, considerate and respectful towards her. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped and provided everything she needed. The staff were always helpful and pleasant when I visited and it gave me great peace of mind to know she was cared for by such wonderful staff.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will share your comments with the staff.
Nurses and staff are all very kind and efficient and soon attend any problems that may occur. The highlight of this month was the outdoor barbecue which I believe all who could, in fact did attend with their photograph taken and displayed on the noticeboard for all to see. During each month, there are regular female and male singers, pub quizzes, flower arranging, table games and floor games. Including modified pilates class every fortnight which are enjoyed by all participants.
Thank you for review. We do try to provide a range of activities and entertainment to meet the needs of everyone, the barbecue is always enjoyed by all who attend.
All the staff are friendly and approachable. The rooms are well equipped, comfortable and well maintained. There is an extensive menu of foods which always look and smell delicious. The staff are always popping in and out of the room to speak with my sister and she seems very content and happy there.
Thank you for your positive feedback, I will share this with the staff.
Our Mum came to Bakewell Cottage recently after we became dissatisfied with another local care home. It wasn't a quick or easy decision to uproot and move Mum but it only took a few days at Bakewell to realise that we'd made exactly the right decision. My 'mantra' for Bakewell Cottage compared to the previous care home is 'calmer and less drama'. As a family we have all been shown the greatest respect and kindness by all the staff and Mum's care has been wonderful from day one thus making the transition from the previous care home as good as seamless. In particular the thoughtfulness of all the staff has been outstanding as is the quality of the food. The ambience and overall calm feeling of the whole place has also been perfect. Thank you to all concerned for your support and help to this point.
I'm so pleased that Mum has settled well with us, your wonderful review will be shared with the staff. I'm loving your 'mantra'.
Dad, not really knowing the area, has been made to feel very welcome and although not one to socialise, he has found the kindness of the staff wonderful. Dad's health has been seen to in a caring way and both my sister and I value the strong bonds staff members have created with him. Dad is not one to suffer fools and is stubborn but the staff have handled him really well.
A special mention to the kitchen who have really tried with Dad, in terms of choice and quality despite his grumpiness.
The home has felt like a secure and loving environment which has really tried for Dad.
Thank you for your feedback, which I will share with the staff.
When our mum moved to long-term care we were pleased that she could be accommodated at Bakewell Cottage; however we did not fully appreciate at the time how fortunate this was. Two and a half years on we are very thankful for the wonderful care she is receiving. Our dad passed away earlier this year and we are so grateful that he had such a positive experience of her care. It is an inspiring place, with dedicated, professional, helpful and friendly staff and management team, clean homely rooms, an extensive well-kept garden, and excellent food, including regular home baking and tea parties. The special events are wonderful, involving great food and excellent live music, a huge effort is made by staff on these occasions but they always have time for warmth and fun. Updates regarding our Mum's health are always delivered in a caring way. We value that the staff have a strong appreciation of our mum's former character and have the time and interest to learn more about her earlier life.
Thank you for your lovely review. I will ensure your thoughts are shared with the team at Bakewell Cottage.
Both my father and his wife are in care and have been for some years now in Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home. My sister and I feel so grateful to have them in such a sanctuary and it gives us such great peace of mind. We visit often and take great comfort always in how well they are looked after. All the staff are caring, professional and treat all the residents with the utmost dignity and kindness. The manager is exceptional and keeps us fully informed at all times and is so diligent and professional. We feel very blessed to have them both in such great hands. Thank you all so much!
What an amazing review, thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoy your frequent visits and friendly chats.
My father has been in Bakewell Cottage for over a year now, and he is well cared for and all his needs are met.
We do take pride in our friendly manner, and it is always good to hear that this is evident to those who visit us, thank you.
Mum was treated with the utmost respect and dignity at all times.
The sensitivity shown by staff when Mum passed away was outstanding.
Thank you for your kind words, she was a lovely lady who is deeply missed.
