Extremely satisfied with the quality of care given to residents and visitors. The care home is a very friendly environment where management staff carers and residents are made to feel welcome. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Church Farm Cotgrave.
Thank you for your kind words, I will share them with the staffing team.
Whilst I realise how busy and understaffed the home is at times it would be nice to have more activities for the residents. As everyone knows music is so important to people suffering from dementia/Alzheimer’s so I would encourage this more.
We have been working on many different kinds of activities throughout the home, including music. Some residents now have iPods which are loaded with different kinds of music they enjoy. We continue to use music daily in many different ways here at Church Farm.
Grandma has been in Church Farm for eighteen months now. Staff are friendly and caring towards both residents and visitors. Food always looks fresh, with varied choices each day. Would recommend this home to anyone.
Thank you for taking the time to give us some feedback. I'm glad your grandma settled in well. Welcome to the Church Farm Family.
After a horrible few months, that many families will relate to, of trying to keep Mum at home and the realisation that we couldn't provide the level of care she needed, followed by six weeks in hospital after a fall, finding a place for Mum that could provide everything she needed has just been such a relief.
Every single member of staff deserves an award, the respect they show my mum and all of the other residents combined with the level of care they provide is just amazing. The atmosphere in the home is so friendly and happy, the food is amazing and all of the residents are clean, dressed and cared for so well.
I have absolutely no problem recommending Church Farm, no matter your needs, they will cater for them and help you thrive.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased this has been your experience of Church Farm Nursing Home, we will share your review with our team members.
The staff were always friendly and kind to my sister and her family when we visited. Some became like friends. My sister had eating difficulties and the staff tried very hard to make it easier for her. Her room was very light and with a view of the church. It had its own toilet.
Thank you for the lovely kind words. I will share this with the staff team.
I have nothing but respect for the care and kindness that is provided at Cotgrave Church Farm Nursing Home. It is utterly heartening that there is such a professional but homely environment created by the team and great entertainment too!
Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased this has been your experience of Church Farm Nursing Home, we will share your review with our team members.
We had to call for help and the staff came straight away and help with her needs which was very good.
Thank you to the staff members.
I will ensure that my team are given your feedback.
Each stage is so different and requires different levels of care and this care has always and still is exemplary. My mother-in-law is and always has been included in activities where possible and treated with kindness and dignity.
The home has a friendly atmosphere that is always welcoming and all staff are attentive to residents.
We are so happy we found this home after trying several others Church Farm Nursing Home is the one that didn't give up on my mother-in-law and has provided her with care and support and provided us with peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are pleased this has been your experience of Church Farm care and will share your review with our colleagues.
My mum has been at Church Farm in Cotgrave since Sept 2016 and during the past seven years, she has received a level of care which goes beyond nursing. Seeing first-hand the love, attention and devotion my mum receives on a daily basis, makes it just about bearable from a family member's perspective. As my mum was a nurse/midwife herself, in order for her to thrive she needs to connect with people and the staff at Church Farm have been marvellous with Mum. I know for a fact that she would have withered and died without human physical touch and love and the team have given her this in abundance. Even though Mum has lost most of her faculties, her core essence requires an unconditional love and I see this freely given by individuals. This level of personal care cannot be taught or demanded and my mum would have seen through any "fakers", so for this, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you.
We are pleased this has been your experience of Church Farm Care and will share your review with our colleagues.
Facts; My mum left hospital with a shadow on her lung and moved into this home The heating broke down. Her room was always cold as windows were left open. Mum constantly complained of being cold. When she died she had a chest infection. Mum had a gold ring I bought her, this went missing and she never left the care home. I was very upset as it was of sentimental value.
When one to one care was removed my mum had some bad bruises, which were never explained. The doctors requested to see them.
LFTs were not always checked, both myself and brother witnessed this. Mum caught Covid. When I had a meal at the home it was stone cold. My mum was not eating.
As a care provider, we aim to provide a person-centred and meaningful experience for people living with complex health and social care needs.
We have taken steps to ensure lessons learned from your experience and feedback has been reflected upon, shared with our colleagues and absorbed into our approach.
All the team members are patient, caring and sensitive to his personal preferences. This includes sitting and watching football matches on an iPad with him. He is a devout catholic and going to church has always been of great importance to him. The team help him to watch mass. One of the carers is a sacristan and on her weekend off brings him and another resident communion.
The food is all homemade and baked. The portions are generous. Thanks to the team food is still a great pleasure to Dad
Mum is treated with such care, compassion and love, the staff are amazing and all residents are treated like family.
The food is all home-cooked and delicious, everyone’s needs and dietary requirements are catered for with no corners cut.
All of the staff at Church Farm are amazing, they have welcomed Dad into his new home and have gone out of their way to settle him in. The home manager has been exceptional, from our initial visit onwards. He has supported us throughout the transition as much as he has supported Dad. Many places claim to be "one big family" but at Church Farm, we can honestly say that they treat everyone as family. The care, respect and friendship shown to residents as well as their family is truly fantastic and very much appreciated.
We have found our resident family member to be well settled and is always treated with courtesy and respect.
We would recommend this service to others.
Church Farm Care Home is a high quality, high caring location for your loved one. I would recommend it, especially if they are challenged with any form of dementia. It houses around forty residents, a nice size for a community.
My husband has received the most wonderful care and consideration at Church Farm Nursing Home, second to none. The staff are so caring both to residents and their families which makes it so much easier to bear when loved ones have to go into care. I cannot speak highly enough of the cleanliness of the rooms all over the home and how smart the residents are kept. Cannot find one fault with Church Farm.
They are very accommodating to visitors and members of the family when visiting and make them feel welcome too.
If I ever had any concerns I felt happy to call the home and tell them about them. I felt that I was always put at ease and listened to and anything that needed to be sorted out was dealt with quickly by the home.
Well done Church Farm and thank you.
A wonderful home, with amazing staff. Who show their love and support to all the residents. I sleep easy knowing my mum is safe and well looked after. I always feel welcome, and informed. Keep up the hard work. Thank you all so much.
The past year at Church Farm Nursing Home Cotgrave has been challenging for all members of staff and families alike (true for all care homes!). Church Farm has met the challenge head-on. I'm sure all families would agree we could not have left our much-loved relative in better care. Management are continuing to do an outstanding job, the pressure I'm sure is immense. Every member of staff deserves our recognition and gratitude for all they have done and continue to do. Speaking on behalf of Mum's care, our family extend love and thanks to all.
