About Cottage Nursing Home

Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is in Bakewell, Derbyshire. Qualified nurses are on duty here throughout the day and night, and that is usually why families come to us rather than to a residential home. Most of the people living with us are older adults and a large proportion are living with dementia. A good number have a physical disability and need daily help with moving and positioning, and some are blind, partially sighted, deaf or hard of hearing. We also support younger adults whose health needs require nursing. Respite admissions are available alongside permanent places. The nursing is careful and unhurried. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and making sure people eat and drink enough. The part no procedure covers is noticing early when somebody is not themselves, and that comes from the same staff seeing the same residents over months. Being in a Peak District market town rather than out on a bypass makes a practical difference. Relatives call in on their way through, and people who can still get out are in a place with shops and a river and a market rather than a car park. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and look round on an ordinary afternoon.
