Bakewell Cottage was originally built as a Cottage Hospital and is still the registered war memorial for Bakewell. The building provides for light airy bedrooms with high ceilings, wide corridors and spacious social spaces. We have a small private dining room which can cater for those special private family events and beautiful secure gardens only a short walk from the town centre.
Bakewell Cottage has all the latest equipment to cater for all needs. The bathrooms are equipped with ceiling mounted tracking systems to enable a resident to be transferred directly from a wheelchair to a bath. A state of the art smart phone medication system is utilised to monitor precisely what care is given, at what time, to every single resident providing a full audit to those who may wish to view it. There are nurses on duty supported by a dedicated care team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure your loved one is expertly looked after.
Our nursing home offers a diverse range of meaningful activities designed to support wellbeing, independence, and joy. From gentle exercise classes and music therapy to crafts, reminiscence sessions, and social events, each activity is carefully planned to suit different abilities and interests. We work closely with residents to understand what they enjoy, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to stay mentally stimulated, socially connected, and actively involved in daily life.
Meals in our nursing home are thoughtfully prepared to provide both nourishment and comfort. Our skilled kitchen team creates balanced, home-style dishes using fresh ingredients, and every menu is designed with residents’ medical, dietary, and personal needs in mind. Whether it’s a favourite traditional meal or a soft-texture option tailored for safety, we ensure that every plate is enjoyable, nutritious, and dignified.
