Care Home Owned by PJ Care Ltd in Cambridgeshire

and helped ease me into the person I am now. In my opinion, I only came here for rehabilitation for stroke but I have gained more and improved my mental health. I was unable to stand or walk when I came but the physios have been great and I can now stand, transfer and walk with assistance pushing me towards a better quality of life. My physio is still ongoing. This place can do with more funding to help better the lives of people with health conditions. The management is amazing, they listen to residents, the nurses on Oak have helped me so much in settling down and managing my mental health issues and behaviours. I found a family in Oak. A special shout out to Oak staff.

I was treated with dignity, respect, kindness and compassion by all nurses, carers, therapists, and support team workers. The whole team were amazing. Everyone had a polite and encouraging word to say, even as they passed me in the corridors. They took care of me, allowing me to focus on my physio rehab.
The physio team were absolutely outstanding, and I can not thank them enough for the thought and effort that went into my daily exercise programmes, in order to keep moving me forward, without the exercises becoming boring and tedious. When I was discharged in July, I was able to walk, run, jump, skip and most importantly dance again. Without them, this would not have been possible.

it offers and access to the community. Staff morale always appears good and the management are always willing to hear any concerns.

as if he thought he was at a music concert and probably thought (as my husband chatted to him) that we were there with him.

and staff. This means the nursing home can communicate with funders with considerable knowledge of the residents. There is no cure for the various medical conditions at the home, but care is provided that makes life comfortable and safe for the residents at PJ Care there are regular meetings to discuss resident care with doctors and the management of the residents condition and risk is handled very effectively. It may not be realistic with the resources available, but I think the nursing home could also expand its activities to include some "informing", particularly for resident families. For example, could there be sessions for advice to families with communication for Alzheimer's patients, or/and what is the current situation with respect to treatments for neuro-generative illnesses.

is excellent value for money. Activities are good. The management help me out so much with a personal matter that stressed me out so much. They were helpful and very caring towards me. They were like my family. That is how I look on Chestnut unit, one big family, all dedicated to their roles.

I don't think he would be here today.
The interaction really helps him. Thanks to all the staff, also reception. I can now sleep at night. Thank you all.

He has a very nice outlook onto the communal garden.
Staff are very professional and kind and seem genuinely interested in my brother's wellbeing and progress. Staff have dealt patiently with his complex emotional and physical needs and do their best to alleviate the inevitable boredom that comes with being confined to bed.
My brother and his room are both kept clean and tidy even though my brother's condition can sometimes make maintaining this difficult.
Staff are always ready to answer any questions I may have. They are invariably polite and welcoming when I visit.
I feel reassured that my brother is somewhere where his care is among the best that could be provided anywhere.

and greet you on arrival.

patient, it's appreciated by myself as his main visitor (with my sister).
Highly recommend the overall culture and support at PJ Care, along with the loyal staff and great family liaison.
Thank you - a life savers of care, quality and nursing of my husband.

of professionalism and warmth reassure me that this has been the right place to enjoy "moments of joy", fun and laughter. I am reassured that all needs are met, decisions made in best interest and quality of care is exemplary.

and compassionate carers. The medications are always on time, there is a fabulous ratio of staff to residents not experienced at any other home. Mum was always clean and well presented. They assisted so much during Covid times, learned new technology and had fabulous communication.

Cons: due to complexity I feel an advanced practitioner would be an awesome addition. They could work better with outside organisations, nurses listen to carers, some staff had very little English language .

Overall experience: I can’t express enough PJ’s superiority over any other care establishment: all the staff: care, admin, nursing, management were amazing. I would Highly recommend.
thank you

is only 10-15 minutes away from me, and in normal circumstances, visiting is an open-door policy, which I hope, like other relatives will resume ASAP. Of course, many activities have been affected due to Covid, but hopefully, soon things will slowly retreat to some sort of normality. I believe my son couldn't be anywhere better, both he and myself are very happy.

I have rated all options as excellent because every time I see my dad, he looks clean and well cared for. My only concern is, that since he moved into this setting, I have not been able to actually go into the care home and see my dad's room or how he is looked after. I have only seen my dad via zoom calls, via a garden visit (in summer) or via the newly built visiting pod (a screen separates us). I would like to be able to hold my dad's hand and give him a cuddle and a kiss but current restrictions do not allow this to take place. My dad has deteriorated severely since May 2020, through lack of physical contact with his loved ones (family). COVID tests are not an option for family visitors.

swallowing, medication etc). The modern spacious building is always presented immaculately, from the welcoming staff at reception through to the wide corridors and generously proportioned en-suite rooms. Staff are always cheerful and welcoming. I could not be happier for my wife.

experienced 'care' in a number of healthcare and home settings and I can categorically state that mum had the best care whilst she was a resident at PJ Care. The staff are, without exception, kind, caring, empathetic and compassionate. They went out of their way to ensure mum had everything she needed and more. This, whilst mum continued to have behavioural issues; staff at PJ Care take this in their stride and do not see it as abnormal or distressing behaviour. The leadership in the unit and training of the staff is reflected in their care and I have no hesitation in recommending PJ Care to anyone who is having difficulty placing their loved one in a care setting, which offers individualised care in a kind and compassionate way. Thank you, PJ Care, for making my Mums last few months as comfortable as they possibly could be.

when I could no longer cope with his dementia at home. The staff on Cedar Unit all deserve medals. I can't praise them highly enough.
