My mother-in-law has been in the home for several years now and throughout that time sadly her dementia has worsened considerably.
Each stage is so different and requires different levels of care and this care has always and still is exemplary. My mother-in-law is and always has been included in activities
where possible and treated with kindness and dignity.
The home has a friendly atmosphere that is always welcoming and all staff are attentive to residents.
We are so happy we found this home after trying several others Church Farm Nursing Home is the one that didn't give up on my mother-in-law and has provided her with care and support and provided us with peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.

My mum has been at Church Farm in Cotgrave since Sept 2016 and during the past seven years, she has received a level of care which goes beyond nursing. Seeing first-hand the love, attention and devotion my mum receives on a daily basis, makes it just about bearable from a family member's perspective.
As my mum was a nurse/midwife herself, in order for her to thrive she needs to connect with people and the staff at Church Farm have been marvellous with Mum. I know for a fact that she would have withered and died without human physical touch and love and the team have given her this in abundance. Even though Mum has lost most of her faculties, her core essence requires an unconditional love and I see this freely given by individuals. This level of personal care cannot be taught or demanded and my mum would have seen through any "fakers", so for this, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you.

I wish I had never put my Mum in this care home. I did not feel there was any empathy from management.
Facts; My mum left hospital with a shadow on her lung and moved into this home The heating broke down. Her room was always cold as windows were left open. Mum constantly complained of being cold.
When she died she had a chest infection. Mum had a gold ring I bought her, this went missing and she never left the care home. I was very upset as it was of sentimental value.
When one to one care was removed my mum had some bad bruises, which were never explained. The doctors requested to see them.
LFTs were not always checked, both myself and brother witnessed this. Mum caught Covid. When I had a meal at the home it was stone cold. My mum was not eating.

Reply from Matthew Adlem, Head of Operations at Church Farm Nursing Home

This is the second care home my father has been resident in. Its focus on residents with dementia has greatly improved my father's enjoyment of care home life. The staff are patient with my father despite him being wheelchair-bound and shouting. He is unable to talk in a normal voice and weight bear
following presumed Covid in his previous home and survived. The leadership team is first class. They are knowledgeable, thoughtful, engaging with residents and very supportive of relatives.
All the team members are patient, caring and sensitive to his personal preferences. This includes sitting and watching football matches on an iPad with him. He is a devout catholic and going to church has always been of great importance to him. The team help him to watch mass. One of the carers is a sacristan and on her weekend off brings him and another resident communion.
The food is all homemade and baked. The portions are generous. Thanks to the team food is still a great pleasure to Dad

All of the staff at Church Farm are amazing, they have welcomed Dad into his new home and have gone out of their way to settle him in. The home manager has been exceptional, from our initial visit onwards. He has supported us throughout the transition as much as he has supported Dad. Many places claim
to be "one big family" but at Church Farm, we can honestly say that they treat everyone as family. The care, respect and friendship shown to residents as well as their family is truly fantastic and very much appreciated.

My husband has received the most wonderful care and consideration at Church Farm Nursing Home, second to none. The staff are so caring both to residents and their families which makes it so much easier to bear when loved ones have to go into care. I cannot speak highly enough of the cleanliness of the
rooms all over the home and how smart the residents are kept. Cannot find one fault with Church Farm.

Always been very happy with how my mum has been looked after, she always seems very content, happy and eats very well and looks clean.
If I ever had any concerns I felt happy to call the home and tell them about them. I felt that I was always put at ease and listened to and anything that needed to
be sorted out was dealt with quickly by the home.
Well done Church Farm and thank you.

The past year at Church Farm Nursing Home Cotgrave has been challenging for all members of staff and families alike (true for all care homes!). Church Farm has met the challenge head-on. I'm sure all families would agree we could not have left our much-loved relative in better care. Management are continuing
to do an outstanding job, the pressure I'm sure is immense. Every member of staff deserves our recognition and gratitude for all they have done and continue to do. Speaking on behalf of Mum's care, our family extend love and thanks to all.

I thoroughly recommend Church Farm Nursing Home. A lovely, homely and happy setting with lots of good food, activities, and fantastic caring staff and management. Dad has come on in leaps and bounds since taking residence over a year ago. Residents' family and friends are always welcomed and kept well
informed. The addition of a Facebook page for relatives and close friends of residents brings a smile and lets us see what is happening day to day, there is also a monthly Zoom meeting where relatives can ask questions and get updates at this time. We are more than pleased with Dad's care, he is happy and relaxed, always clean and tidy and we are extremely secure in the knowledge that he is comfortable and being well cared for. Thank you Church Farm.

My mum has been a resident here for 3 years, the carers, management, administrators and nursing staff are all excellent. During 2020 and into 2021 they have all been the second family to the residents and have provided a safe and happy home during this time when we have been unable to be with our loved
ones. The safety and happiness of the residents is the priority here and I would highly recommend.

Sadly our father has recently passed away but his time at Church Farm over the last 6 months of his life ensured he had the care and love he deserved
Dementia is a cruel disease and in the current Covid pandemic, people like Dad have suffered greatly. The manager and his excellent team ensured that
the very best medical, emotional and personal care was given to Dad. They restored his dignity
We can never thank them enough for the care and support of Dad and also his family.

Church Farm Nursing Home is very welcoming they not only opened their doors to Mum but they opened their doors to me too, I can’t thank the team enough. Life is very hard when a loved one is suffering with dementia but it takes so much pressure off family members knowing that their loved one is being
looked after and cared for by such a caring team, I cannot thank them all enough for the job they do.

The staff are always so caring, helpful and welcoming

Church Farm has a real family feel.
Before Covid l often used to eat there, the food was always excellent, especially the homemade cakes. The manager is a caring, positive, inspiring guy, who leads his amazing team by example - fantastic.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Church Farm Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.757 for Church Farm Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.757

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Church Farm Nursing Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
