We knew this was the right choice for my uncle to move to.
He is very settled after being there eight weeks, has a room that we have made his own with all his personal belongings and he takes part in activities provided.
We know he is well looked after from the care he receives, the regular meals and constant feedback with any concerns from the nursing team.
We are very happy that he is being well looked after by a caring team
We are so glad your uncle has settled in so well and you have all become part of the family.
Very happy that we found this care home for my mother
We will be sure to share with the all Church Farm teams, always nice to share great feedback. If you feel we can improve in any way please talk to the management or nursing team.
She moved from another care home who couldn't meet her needs. Since being at Cotgrave, she is less aggressive, showers regularly and always looks well cared for (not the greasy hair she had before). The staff are amazing with her and obviously very experienced with dementia patients. Would thoroughly recommend!
I will be sure you share your feedback with the team members.
If you would like to discuss your over ratings then please feel free to talk this over with the management team.
Maggie and her team have been compassionate, responsive and respectful throughout. They acted quickly to support nan's admission and treated both her and our family with genuine kindness.
Although she was only with them for a short time, the differences in care and atmosphere were clear from the start. Nan was spoken to gently, supported with patience, encouraged to eat & drink, and treated gently and with dignity. She even said to us herself that she might stay there (high praise indeed).
Our family were kept informed and supported with sensitivity when she passed. Knowing her final hours were spent somewhere calm, respectful and compassionate, with people that really saw her, and genuinely cared for her, gives us great comfort whilst we grieve her loss.
We only wish she had been able to spend longer here. Thank you Church Farm for the happy memories at the end of a hard journey.
Thank you for your very kind words I will be sure to share with all teams within Church Farm. I'm so glad we could support with your nans admission, sorry her stay wasn't for longer she will be missed.
The staff at Church Farm are all brilliant and offer the best standard of care to our family. It's always a friendly and welcoming place to visit and I really believe they're one of the best care homes around. The staff go above and beyond to not just offer the best care for the residents but also to support and offer advice to their wider family. I feel reassured that my parent is in the best possible place to help them and me through the challenges of dementia. Having experienced a below-par care home previously, we're very grateful to have found Church Farm. 5 stars all round!
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for Church Farm Nursing Home. I will ensure to share with the team. Thank you for the lovely comments.
Went to dad's care plan meeting. Found this incredibly comforting, there knowledge and genuine care about his well fare. Brilliant . I felt listened to, and totally believe dad his in the best place for his needs, thank you
Thank you for taking the time to complete a lovely review for Church Farm Nursing Home, I will share with the team members. Please let us know where you feel we can improve around activities we are always happy to share new ideas.
My mother moved to Church Farm at Cotgrave in April 2025, and from the very beginning it's felt like a place rooted in warmth, dignity, and genuine care. The staff are consistently kind, attentive, and patient, creating a home where she's not just looked after but truly known. The environment is peaceful and thoughtfully designed, with lovely enclosed gardens and familiar household spaces that help her feel settled and safe. The emphasis on meaningful daily activities has brought comfort and gentle purpose to her days. We feel incredibly grateful to have found this home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Lovely to have such great feedback, I will be sure to share with all the staffing teams.
If there were angels that is what the staff would be. You are so special.
Thank you for the lovely comments. We will be sure to share this with all the staff teams
My mum is not an easy person at times, but she always looks clean and tidy and is involved, when she allows it, in all the activities that are laid on regularly. She is encouraged with hot chocolate and treats and xmas was lovely with a singer and decorations.
Thank you for your comments, I'm glad you feel that your mum is well looked after. If feel free to discuss any concerns you may have with the Manager or Deputy Kind regards
The staff always ensure that they look after him in a way that meets his needs and do their best to encourage and help him in a friendly way. I am always made to feel very welcome when I visit (which can be any time day or night) and this helps to reassure me that he is getting the best of care.
I know that my husband's behaviour can be challenging and the expertise demonstrated by the managers and staff proves essential to his health and wellbeing.
Thank you to all who care for him at Church Farm Nursing Home.
Thank you for the lovely comments. We will be sure to share this with all the staff teams. I'm glad your husband settled in very well at Church Farm and you are now both part of the Church Farm Family.
All the carers are kind and caring.
Thank you for leaving your review and comments. We are glad to hear the closed social media page is working well. The management team will be sure to share your comments with the staffing teams.
Times have been very difficult for my mother in recent years, with the loss of her husband and her deteriorating mental health, she had become very aggressive and nasty to those close to her. However, since being at Church Farm from the beginning of September this year, she has shown a remarkable improvement in her behaviour and attitude, and visits to her now are pleasant instead of being something to dread. I put this down to the amazing specialist care she is receiving and would like to thank the staff wholeheartedly. I have also been very impressed with the activities that are arranged for the residents, I attended the fireworks evening, and it was a great success and lovely to see mother smiling.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for Church Farm Nursing home. We are very glad your mother settled in, she part of the family at Church Farm. I will be sure to share your review with all the staff team. Thank you.
Thank you to everyone involved.
Thank you for the lovely comments and great feedback, which I will be sure to share with the staff teams. I'm glad your dad is settling in well to the Church Farm family.
The activities they organise are suited to the residents, and the food is of a very high standard. Thank you to all of you.
Thank you for the lovely words. I will be sure to share with the team at Church Farm. It's great to see your dad now settled.
My husband was welcomed from the first day. It was not easy for him or the staff. In the following weeks, he has settled in very well thanks to the huge support from all the staff. The personal interests of the residents are considered and catered for. The activities provided are excellent and all residents are invited to participate. Special mention must be given to the website. So good to be able to follow activities, for regular visitors as well, as those unable to visit. Also good for residents as having the camera in front of them, makes them feel special. It is not just the residents who are made to feel special. Visitors are always greeted or welcomed and offered refreshment. Thank you Church Farm.
Thank you for leaving a review for Church Farm, glad your husband is now more settled and the staffing team are getting to know him more and more every day. I will make sure to pass your lovely comments on to the staffing teams. Thank you.
I am so impressed with the care and activities that Church Farm Nursing Home do with and for their residents. They are so well thought out to give immediate enjoyment but also to tap into memories. The staff are also so kind and considerate and patient. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the lovely comments, I will be sure to share these with all the staffing teams.
All the staff are very caring to the residents whatever their particular needs are, always helpful to family members of residents when visiting, such a happy environment for our loved ones... it's always a pleasure to visit and be welcomed by everyone.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review; lovely words that will be shared with the staff team.
Mum settled quickly into the community at Church Farm Care Home and I've felt very welcome on every occasion that I've visited. Although her room was very small initially, she now has an en suite toilet and a bit more space, which is great. Staff really seem to care and to put a lot of effort into creating activities and events for residents. Communication with family is good and I really appreciate news via the closed social media group as I don't manage to see Mum as much as I'd like because of distances involved. The food is excellent and Mum's room and the public areas all seem clean and fresh. Mum has had a couple of falls and incidents with other residents but safeguarding all seems to be in place and it's reassuring to know that expert advice, care and medical support is available whenever needed. Thank you to everyone on the team.
Thank you for your kind words, I will share them with the staffing teams.
I talk to my mum whilst on holiday by tablet, the staff set this up after I’ve called the home. I can’t thank them enough, as I’m able to see and talk to my mum. If she’s struggling, they help her understand what’s been said.
Happy to assist your mum, she enjoys the calls. The staff are happy to assist where we can.
The bedrooms are becoming a bit tired, but I understand that there are plans to extend and refurbish the home. I like that the residents are able to wander inside the home and outside in the gardens as they wish so they do not feel trapped but they are still safe within the home.
Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback, I'm glad I can confirm that we are planning a small extension, this will not change the number of family members we support, but better the environment in many ways, at the side of this we will be adding more en-suites to some bedrooms and refitting bedrooms.
