Care Home Owned by Sohal Healthcare Ltd in Cambridgeshire

Dene staff to review, respond and meet her new needs is an enormous comfort to me. The upbeat, cheery, positive nature of the staff who help mum with her daily personal care and well being is heart warming, as her dignity is always preserved and humour challenged! I have peace of mind knowing that Hardwick Dene's communication is excellent to keep me informed and likewise I can make requests which are always actioned. The upkeep and cleanliness of mums room is also worth noting and celebrating. Thank you Hardwick Dene!

at all times. There are a broad range of one-off and regular activities at the home (e.g., quizzes, musical performances, cookery classes, visiting zoos, exercise classes, events in the tranquil grounds) and residents have ample opportunity to partake in preening sessions (e.g., manicure, pedicure, hair-dressing). The standard and the variety of the meals served to the residents is excellent, and the tea trolley comes around regularly - much to everyone's delight. It's very obvious that the staff get a lot of pleasure from their work. I enjoy visiting my mother and interacting with the staff and the other residents, there's never a dull moment!

involved. As a family, we are always made to feel welcome when we visit and are thoughtfully consulted on Mum's ongoing care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hardwick Dene.

to deal with memory loss every minute of every day is so hard.
But Hardwicke Dene you can rest assured will care for your relative in every way possible and would recommend them to anyone when that time comes.

join us be it baking, crafts, singing, exercise, live entertainers. The rooms are good.
It is clean and comfortable.
Maybe not as shiny and new looking as some of the fancy care homes that resemble hotels but the care here is so so good. That is what is important!
They really treat everyone like part of a big family.
I would recommend this care home to anyone over all the others.

it was really comforting to know that mum was being looked after by warm and caring people. Mum is very happy the staff always encourage her to mix and she has made friends and is doing really well, so much so that she looks much healthier and happier than before she went there. The staff keep us informed about everything and we are very happy with Hardwick Dene.

room, she enjoys the food and she gets on well with the staff. The staff are a cheerful and friendly team which must be beneficial for the residents.
I am happy with the care Mum receives at Hardwick Dene.

they have given has been amazing and we are kept fully informed at all times of day or night.
You are able to contact the home in between visits to find out how your loved one is, nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
There is plenty of entertainment every day to suit all needs from live music, quizzes, bingo, arts and crafts and cooking.
All in all a lovely care home where residents and their families feel part of everything.

much trouble.
I am confident in the knowledge that Mum is receiving the best care possible at Hardwick Dene.

to set times, the only bugbear will always be the parking - lack of. This can cause some disruption especially if you need to park alongside the path, to allow for wheelchairs or people with mobility concerns. Walking across stones is really not good at all and a health safety concern!
Also always kept posted, regarding aunt's care should there be any concern. I actually wrote too much for this review and had to go back and delete quite a lot, unfortunately. Which is a shame! All positive.
Too close to all management, office staff, carers and absolutely everyone employed by Hardwick Dene in Buckden - we are very happy with, and long may this high-quality care reign.

There are spaces for quiet time and/or activities with everyone encouraged to be a part of the family. It is very apparent that there is a huge amount of thought 'behind the scenes' by a dedicated group of people whose vocation is clear to see. I have absolute belief that my aunty is receiving wonderful care and I also feel cared for and welcome when visiting. In what is clearly a very difficult and challenging time for all involved I cannot praise the team at Hardwick Dene enough, thank you so much to all.

of life.

helpful and efficient all the staff were. Hopefully he shall “return” for his next respite week. Thank you all so much.

and it's very peaceful. During the summer months, the marquee in the garden was put to good use with the residents enjoying live music and gentle exercise. The food is good and my Dad has gained a little weight since arriving at Hardwick. The staff and management are a very cheerful and happy group of people who are constantly chatting, caring, laughing with the residents. Unfortunately due to Covid visiting has been more structured with an appointment system in place. The staff make sure we have regular contact with Dad with two visits per week but more if there are extra spaces which there quite often is.

normally a lot of activities, trips out and fun things to do. Obviously with Covid-19 things have changed, but the staff do their best to keep the residents occupied and happy. The home is well managed and thanks to their quick action, closed the home really early to prevent an outbreak of Covid and whilst it has been difficult not seeing family members, the residents and staff have been kept safe.
There is a lovely garden area for the residents to enjoy; a new marquee which they use a lot, weather permitting. The residents themselves seem to be relaxed and happy.
