About Cottingham Road

Here at Cottingham Road, we are a residential care home based in Corby, North Northamptonshire, and we are proud to support the people who live with us to lead fulfilling, comfortable and meaningful lives. We specialise in residential care for adults with learning disabilities and autism, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or some extra support at certain times. We understand that choosing a care home, whether for yourself or someone you love, is a significant decision, and we take that responsibility seriously. Everyone who comes through our doors is treated as an individual, with their own preferences, routines and ways of communicating, and we work hard to make sure that is always reflected in the care and support we provide. Our team gets to know each person properly, not just their care needs but what makes them happy, what they enjoy doing, what they find difficult and what helps them feel settled and secure. That kind of familiarity matters enormously, particularly for people with autism or learning disabilities who often thrive with consistency and trust. We are pleased to hold a rating of Good from the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every single day. We do not take that for granted, and we continue to look for ways to improve and to listen to the people we support and their families. If you are thinking about Cottingham Road for yourself or a family member, we would warmly encourage you to get in touch or come and visit us. We are based in Corby and are very much part of the local community here in North Northamptonshire. We would be happy to show you around and answer any questions you might have.
