My brother was a resident at Cottenham Court Care Home for about two years and was treated with excellent care and attention at all times by staff and management. His physical needs were attended to with great care and the doctor was called when needed. My brother was an academic and the activities
provided were not of interest to him unfortunately but in every other respect he was made to feel comfortable and looked after well.

Mum came to Cottenham Court Care Home for a week so that we could go to see family in Cornwall. She was very positive about the stay and said she would recommend it to others. She even said she'd be happy to stay again or for longer. She praised staff and facilities. I found staff to be very
friendly and kind. A positive experience.

Just a few short words re my mums 14 month stay at Cottenham Court - she was wonderfully looked after by all the staff, managers, the lovely ladies on reception, the incredible nurses, carers and all the other staff. My sisters and I knew she was warm, safe and well looked after. Many, many thanks.

Mum died last week after 14 months in Cottenham Court. I cannot find words to express gratitude for the professional care she received but also the kindness, patience & understanding. The food was superb too. Also the care that we as relatives received every visit from comfort when we were worried
or upset & the very welcome coffee & biscuits after 90 mins travel.

Enjoyed meeting old friends. They all remembered me from before when I was here. Love them all.

Almost without exception the staff are professional and friendly in meeting my mothers needs and the day staff have been very helpful of late and the entertainment and atmosphere is great due to a lot of hard work

My mum entered the home at the beginning of Sept 2025 after a few months of unsettling change. She immediately felt right at home and was welcomed by all from the start. My mum (and I) have been extremely happy with all aspects of life at the home and we cannot think of anything we would change. All
the staff (and I mean that) have been excellent and genuinely care about their residents. I would thoroughly recommend the care home to anyone - in fact I did recently to a friend and her mother has now become a resident.

The management and staff made it an easy transition for my uncle to move into the care home. The care he has received since he has been there has been exceptional. The staff are very friendly and caring. The food is well-cooked with a good variety of menu each day. The laundry service is excellent
for the residents' clothes.
The is a variety of activities each day, but find it's mostly suitable for the female residents as there are more in the home than male. The rooms are adequate and have been decorated to a good standard, but are on the small side.

A comfortable modern room with quality furniture and always kept immaculately clean.The staff were happy, helpful, caring and understanding ,nothing seemed too much trouble, they would introduce themselves and always call me by my name.This led to a lovely atmosphere in the home.
An observation,
not a criticism I would prefer more choice on the menu for the main meal, however all the food was good quality, well presented and a light menu available throughout the night.
My stay was for a couple of weeks following knee surgery, staff went above and beyond my expectations and all are a credit to BUPA.
I would highly recommend.

I came to Cottenham Court for rest and respite nursing care, and that is what I have received from a well-trained set of staff who have shown such kindness and responsiveness to my personal needs.
Their treatment has enabled me to make a wonderful recovery from a thoracic operation and to given me
confidence and peace of mind during my week's stay. Peace of mind also for my daughter and friend. Thank you!

I have just spent 2 weeks at Cottenham Court convalescing after an operation. I could not have chosen a better home. The staff were all so welcoming and kind, nothing was too much trouble. With regular meals and a little exercise I was soon greatly improved and the last few days seemed like a
holiday! It would help if the information folder contained a map/plan of the building for those able to explore.

Thank you for having me at short notice for respite care after my knee replacement operation and subsequent re-admittance to the hospital 3 days later when I collapsed. The care was just what I needed: efficient, caring, and in a calm atmosphere. I needed a downstairs room at my home, and my husband
and family were able to paint and decorate it and have a carpet laid for when I returned home. I am especially grateful to the staff who supported me so well and, during conversation, gave me some very useful medical advice.

Cottenham has been fantastic for my mom, who is battling with deteriorating mental health due to a brain tumour. The staff across the board have been caring & compassionate. I'd highly recommend CCH. The communication with us has been excellent.

Our precious mum moved into Cottenham Court Care Home in July 2024. She never wanted to end her life in a nursing home but, after being ill, was no longer able to be independent. Mum was receiving palliative/end of life care. All the staff, including nurses, carers, cleaners, kitchen staff, activity
staff, maintenance and admin were so kind and caring. They made, what was an extremely stressful and difficult few months, much more bareable. They were so thoughtful towards all of us who visited on a daily basis. We cannot thank them enough.
08 January 2025
We enjoyed our visit and benefited from a birthday cake shared by one of the staff - who are all generally wonderful.
Despite the works, Cottenham Court Care Home is still coping very well. Well done.

I stayed at the home for 14 days after a hip replacement operation. I was warmly welcomed, and looked after very well by all members of the staff. They were cheerful, kind, and attentive. The food was flavoursome! I am very grateful for the care I received. Many thanks.

This care home has such a welcoming atmosphere, from the first time of visited, all the staff were friendly and clearly proud of where they worked. The rooms are just the right size, and personal preferences are taken into consideration, such as changing the orientation of the bed to enable easier
access and a better view of the TV! Mum was here only a couple of months but her outlook and social confidence were transformed after many years living alone. She happily joined in all the social activities on offer and loved the bingo sessions in particular. All the staff, not just the care staff but also the catering, cleaning and laundry staff and admin team had the residents' needs at the top of their concerns, and Mum flourished in their care. The level of care given to Mum to accommodate her disabilities was exceptional, and the care and compassion we received from Cottenham Court upon Mum's sudden passing was amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending this home.

My Mother became a full-time resident at Cottenham Court after a 7-week stay in the hospital. She has been at the care home for a month and I have noticed a marked improvement in her health and her happiness.
She is treated with kindness and respect at all times and is encouraged to join in with
the many and varied activities.
The home is light and airy with lovely outdoor areas.

Although Mum was only here for a very short period of time all the staff were very attentive and friendly.
All my Mum's needs were met. Mum was kept comfortable.
The staff also met families' needs and were always available for updates and comfort.

I used the respite care service at Cottenham Court as convalescence following an operation. As a widower, I needed support to make the transition back to everyday life. The care here has been everything that I needed it to be, provided in a friendly and welcoming way. My dietary requirements were
accommodated with no problem.
