Owner: Healthcare Homes Group Ltd

Home Close can be found in a tranquil setting on the edge of Cambridge yet convenient for the A14 and is served by good public transport links. The property is located in its own spacious landscaped grounds and is bordered by many mature trees, creating a private peaceful environment. As well as the extensive lawns, there are many shrub and flower borders which continually change with the seasons, providing interest to residents and visitors alike. A lovely retreat to enjoy tea in good weather.

The home offers nursing care, residential care and a day care centre. The bright, welcoming purpose built accommodation is laid out over two floors with eight wings which are named after local villages, Grantchester, Teversham, Horningsea, Barrington, Wandlebury, Madingley, Dry Drayton and Cherry Hinton. A lounge and dining areas as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities are available in each wing. Bedrooms are light and airy bedrooms, well furnished and are decorated to a high standard, however, residents are encouraged to bring items of their own furniture and possessions with them so that their room can become truly their own.

Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills, but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. Staff are available constantly and provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.

Residents are regularly assessed to ensure their needs are met. Appointments can be arranged with a visiting optician, dentist, and chiropodist. An in-house hairdressing salon provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages. Catering staff provide delicious meals and snacks throughout the day, with special diets being catered for.

Home Close benefits from a purpose built Activity Centre where Residents can take part in as many or as few activities as they like.

Family and friends are always welcome at Home Close and we value their involvement in our resident’s care. Above all, we promote individual choice in a caring environment that is free from stress or worry.
