Situated in the picturesque village of Cottenham, the home’s design has been tailored to the challenges of care and provides residents with a versatile living environment. Pleasing additions include en-suite bedrooms, an activities room, a conservatory and Sky television. For a breath of fresh air, residents can head for the enclosed paved garden for a gentle stroll, or experience the home's sensory herb garden.

A varied menu of nutritious meals is enjoyed by all residents, with the home treating mealtimes as an important part of the day and making sure there are always drinks and light snacks available.

There is a real sense of community at Cottenham Court. Gardening, exercise classes and crafts are examples of some of the hobbies residents have embraced, while visits from a local theatre group and Pets as Therapy also provide good mental and physical stimulation.
