Life at The Cotswold Home
Life at The Cotswold Home is centred around comfort, companionship and choice. Alongside exceptional care, we want every resident to enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle shaped around their individual interests, preferences and routines.
Residents are encouraged to have a real say in life at the home, from the activities they enjoy and places they would like to visit to ideas for events and entertainment. Our team takes the time to get to know each person, helping residents continue with familiar interests while providing opportunities to discover something new.
There are plenty of ways to spend each day. Residents can join a varied programme of activities and entertainment, welcome visitors from the local community, enjoy trips and outings, or spend time with friends and family. Equally, there is always the choice to enjoy some quieter time with a book, a board game, a cup of tea or simply relax in one of the home’s comfortable spaces.
Food is also an important part of daily life. Our freshly prepared meals use seasonal ingredients and offer plenty of choice, while dining together provides a relaxed and sociable opportunity to catch up with friends.
Above all, The Cotswold Home is a home. We aim to create a warm and welcoming community where residents feel comfortable, valued and able to spend their time in the way that suits them.

Mornings begin at a relaxed pace, with residents waking when they choose and enjoying breakfast before deciding how they would like to spend the day.

No two days need to be the same. Our team is always on hand to provide support and companionship while ensuring residents retain choice over how they spend their time.
