My uncle has been at Bakewell Cottage since January after a long hospital stay. He settled in quickly and seeing him after he’d been there only a fortnight, he looked so much better and well cared for. From our initial visit, we felt the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are cheerful and polite, always interacting with residents and visitors. Residents are known well and treated as individuals and with dignity. All staff are superb and do everything they can to ensure the comfort and well-being of those in their care; nothing is too much trouble. The food is good and varied, and residents are encouraged to join in a variety of entertainment/activities. All areas of the home are so clean and fresh. There is a lovely garden too. The manager is excellent, caring, and available to help/advise. Communication is great; we are kept well informed. I have peace of mind that my uncle is receiving the best care, in a friendly, homely atmosphere. Thank you to all for the outstanding job you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words; your review encompasses all we strive to achieve.
Her health is consistently monitored and any issues are immediately addressed and communicated to me.
The food is exceptional and the home caters for special dietary requirements brilliantly.
I cannot recall a single staff member, whom I have met, that doesn’t work to a high standard. They are unfailingly helpful and upbeat.
I have found the manager and all the support team to be very helpful with any queries or concerns and can only assume, from the staff’s general attitude, that the home is run and managed to a very high standard and its staff are very happy in their roles.
I would recommend Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their loved ones.
Thank you for your lovely review, I will ensure your wonderful words are shared with the staff.
Both of my parents are residents in Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home, and as a family, we could not be happier with the care they are provided. The residents’ rooms are comfortable and clean, as are the communal spaces such as the lounge and dining room. The food is very impressive, meals are varied and always freshly prepared, with lots of home baking. There are regular activities, suitable to different abilities, such as chair Pilates, singing and games, which Mum and Dad have enjoyed. What stands out most of all, is the commitment and compassion shown by the staff. You can see that each person genuinely cares and enjoys their role. The care is personalised, Mum and Dad’s individual needs are met appropriately and there is lots of good humour too. We are always kept informed of changes in Mum and Dad's health and care. It is very reassuring to know that they are so well cared for.
Thank you for such a positive review. Any feedback is always appreciated and is shared with our amazing staff.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very professional, staff were lovely, caring, considerate and kept good morale. Daily programme good. Manager very professional and caring.
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.
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.
Dad had excellent care from all the staff. Staff very compassionate on his death. Felt like we were going to his home. Always clean and tidy. We were always greeted in a friendly way and nothing was too much trouble.
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.
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!
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.
