I'm floored by how great everyone is. It's the best place for Mum, to be surrounded by the common sense, humour, and (now that her eyesight's failing) accents that she grew up with. Wonderful place and people.
Reply from Kerry Critchlow, Home Manager at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home

Thank you for such a lovely review. Your Mum is an amazing lady who makes us all smile every day.

In memory of a great man, my utmost thanks to the dedicated, professional, personal care he received, a great man and what the great man deserved. Allowing him to pass with dignity. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, my sister drew great comfort from what was/is a very difficult time. Care homes
do get bad press, it's a difficult time and we don't always reflect properly, I am not going to single out any member of staff because all staff were brilliant. Finally, God bless you all.
Reply from Kerry Critchlow, Home Manager at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. It was an honour and a pleasure, I only wish we had more time to get to know him better.

My husband went into the home for end-of-life care when I could no longer look after him at home. He deteriorated quickly and should have had a “good” death. Unfortunately due to the attitude of the home and the brick wall they built he did not have a good death and I so regret sending him there.
Reply from Kerry Critchlow, Home Manager at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home

I'm surprised to hear such comments about the excellent team at Bakewell Cottage. It would seem that our recollection of events in regard to 'attitude' and apparent 'brick wall' differ. As a home we aspire to ensure that everyone has the right to a 'good' death and take pride in our ability to work with the professionals supporting us to ensure this happens.

Review from S A R (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 21 March 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our dad needed to move from a residential home when he needed extra support and care following another stay in hospital. We looked around several homes in the area and we all decided that we wanted him to go to Bakewell Cottage. We have been really pleased with our decision.
Dad is well looked after
and has a lovely room which is always sparkling clean.
Although he can be quite a fussy eater and knows his own mind, the staff always provide food and drinks to tempt his appetite.
Dad has a good sense of humour and enjoys joking with the staff.
All the staff are always friendly and informative when any of us visits and we can visit at any time.

Bakewell Cottage took my mum in and transformed her care 360 degrees, her previous home had been awful and we had no confidence in the system at all. The staff and matron were so caring they made mums last days very comfortable, she was clean and warm and well fed. As her family, my sisters and I were
welcomed each time we visited and provided with refreshment. The home itself was clean and bright and the other residents seemed very happy and we enjoyed chatting with them. We can not fault the care and support given to us and our mum, thank you so much.

My 91-year-old father suffered a broken neck in February meaning that, once released from hospital, he would require a residential home offering not only a comfortable and safe living environment but also specialist nursing care. Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home met all our requirements, well beyond our
level of expectation.

My mother was a resident in Bakewell Cottage for 3 years until her death on 14th July 2017.
The care she received was excellent.
The staff and the manager treated mum with compassion, respect and sympathy at all times.
The standard of cleanliness in the home and the food were excellent.
Mum's room
was bright and airy and until her health began to fade she enjoyed living in the home and joined in some of the activities.
I cannot fault the care my mother received.

I cannot praise Bakewell Cottage enough. The extremely clean, comfortable and beautiful home and it's amazing staff cared not only for my father but also for my sister and myself when we visited. Putting a loved one into care is a very distressing thing to do but every time I left dad after a visit
I smiled all the way home knowing he was safe and happy in their hands. In his final days, the nursing care was exceptional. The compassion and treatment he received was beyond belief. He passed calmly away with great dignity, a massive thank you to all the staff, my last memories of dad are good ones thanks to you.

The nursing home provided sensitive and excellent care in the last 18 months of my relative's life and ensured that even though the circumstances were difficult, he had the best quality of life possible. They enabled the family to be involved and treated us all with respect and compassion. Thank you.

My brother has been in Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home until he passed away earlier this week. I can find no bad criticism of anything during his stay. The atmosphere was always welcoming. He had an attractive comfortable room and was cheerfully attended by the staff at all times. They gave him a birthday
party on two occasions. The manager was perfect, always placid and ready with a cup of coffee and caring to the patients. The only problem was that of parking.

In August 2015 I attended five nursing homes for my mother as she was very unwell and needed 24/7 care. I was shocked by some I visited. Two homes when I visited were excellent and I had a feel the homes were suitable for the needs of my mother, the home at Bakewell Cottage is very good on all counts
and they support me by taking the worry of my mother's care into their daily work.

My father spent more than three years here after he became unable to look after himself as a result of dementia. He remained content, well cared for and safe.
He passed away at the end of this period. The care home handled his death with compassion and the staff made every effort to support the family
at this difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father became a resident of Bakewell Cottage in August 2016. He had suffered a stroke in May. The manager and all the team at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home made him most welcome and treated him with real care and the dignity he so deserved.
The staff have all been so attentive especially during
my father final days before he passed away. Nothing was too much trouble for the whole team of nurses and carers even with regards to the counselling of the family which really helped.
My sincere gratitude goes to Bakewell Cottage what more can I say!
Reply from Maria Marsden, Home Manager at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home

Thank you for the lovely review. All the team have excellent values and although we don't do this job to be thanked we genuinely care about our residents and their families it's really nice to be appreciated.

Until her recent death, my mother was a resident at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home. Whilst not too obviously delighted to be living in a home she found living there easy, comfortable and was on the whole happy there. My brothers and I felt that she was in safe hands with professional and caring staff,
she particularly enjoyed being teased and laughing and joking with some of her favourite members of staff. A big thank you to them. When the end came, the manager and her organisational flair made everything so much easier for us.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.753 for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.753
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
