About Rookery Cottage
Rookery Cottage provides residential and dementia care for older people, with rooms and flats supported by a dedicated care team. It also offers respite care, day care and palliative and end of life care, giving families options for both longer-term support and shorter stays.
The home has 13 beds, allowing its team to develop care packages around individual needs, preferences and goals with residents and families. Day care includes social, creative and gentle physical activities, while respite can give family carers time to recover or attend to their own needs. With only 13 beds is a defining part of the home’s small-scale model.

How much does Rookery Cottage cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Rookery Cottage for its weekly fee. As a guide, North Northamptonshire council paid on average £1,151 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
