About The Cotswolds
The Cotswolds is a nursing home in Northampton, providing nursing care for older people and for adults whose health needs mean that qualified nurses need to be on hand at any hour. That cover matters most when a condition is unpredictable, because it means changes are noticed early and managed here rather than through repeated trips to hospital. We support people living with a physical disability, where good care is largely about practical independence and dignity rather than doing everything for someone, and people with sight or hearing loss, where sensible adjustments make a considerable difference to how connected someone feels. We also care for younger adults, whose interests and routines are usually very different from those of the older people we support, and we plan accordingly rather than expecting everybody to fit the same day. Respite care is available too, for people recovering after illness and for families who need a break and want to take it without worrying about how their relative is getting on. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We think the fairer test is whether people here look comfortable and occupied and whether families feel welcome at any reasonable hour. If you are considering nursing care in Northampton, please come and look round and ask the nurses and carers whatever you need to.
