Orchard House Residential Care Home

from V H (Son of Resident) published on 16 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved into Orchard House in January 2025, where she has received excellent care. The staff are extremely kind and considerate, and resolve any problems that she may have. She also has much more social contact than she had when living in her own house. She now takes meals with others and participates
in quizzes and other organised activities. Of particular note is Orchard House staff taking her to participate in the recent Sawston Fun Run, walking her round by wheelchair while she waved at the crowds. She absolutely loved it! The staff also made her recent 90th birthday a great day - decorating her room, making a personalised 90th birthday cake and joining with the family in birthday celebrations. I thoroughly recommend Orchard House.
Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Orchard House Residential Care Home

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear that your mother is receiving excellent care and enjoying the social and recreational opportunities at Orchard House. It was a privilege to support her participation in the Sawston Fun Run and to help celebrate her 90th birthday. Your recommendation is sincerely appreciated.

Orchard House Residential Care Home

from Gillian H (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum lived in Orchard House for just over 2 years, sadly passing away in February this year. She received exceptional care and warmth while with you. There is a warm welcoming atmosphere and the whole team is amazing - friendly, approachable and professional. The care staff are attentive and compassionate,
always ready to listen and act on any concerns or needs. They knew Mum's needs and preferences and tailored her care accordingly. Mum was fortunate to have one of the larger ensuite rooms with a lovely view of the gardens. In addition to the high-quality care, there is a real sense of community. The activities provided are engaging and varied, offering something for everyone. The food is excellent too - the kitchen staff made a real effort to meet Mum's needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend Orchard House to anyone seeking a safe and caring environment for their loved one.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Orchard House Residential Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review, the team at Orchard House will be touched to read your kind words. We are sorry for your loss and grateful that we could provide comfort and care to your mum during her time with us. Knowing she felt at home will mean a great deal to the team. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback.

from Lesley F (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found this care home exceptionally good. My mother was in for 14 months, she had the best care in all her needs at the age of 102, she was also partially deaf and blind. The staff were exceptionally good in catering to all her needs medically, keeping her clean. Also food was done to her special needs.
I was also happy with the care and needs and I also knew she was in safe hands 24/7 when I left her. I would highly recommend this care home. Right to the end she exceptionally looked after.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Orchard House Residential Care Home

Orchard House Residential Care Home

from T G (Sister of Resident) published on 9 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In spite of living in an extra care flat with carers on call, my sister was becoming increasingly stressed at coping by herself. After a week's trial in Orchard House, where I saw her smiling for the first time in months, she moved in permanently at the end of October. The care staff have been so kind
and caring towards her, she still doesn't smile very much but she says she is so glad that she moved in,
I am glad too. I can only visit her once a week and it is good to know that she is always being looked after. Her room is always cosy and clean, the meals always look and smell delicious and all members of staff (carers, office staff, kitchen staff, housekeeping, even the maintenance man) really care about all the residents and are unfailingly kind, caring and professional.
Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Orchard House Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for sharing your heartfelt review. We're so pleased to hear that your sister has settled in well at Orchard House and that she's so happy about her decision to move in permanently following her initial respite care stay. It's wonderful to know that you've noticed the kindness and professionalism of our entire team, who will be delighted to read your kind words. We deeply appreciate your feedback, thank you.

My mother was admitted with cognitive impairment in July 2024. She settled down very quickly with the aid of the very attentive and caring staff. I have visited on many occasions unexpectedly, to find the care home very clean, smelling fresh and I was always accompanied by a member of the staff who
knew my mum well. A verbal progress report has always been given. My last visit I may say, I have not seen my mum look so happy, well-fed, clean, smelling fresh and content. Please put me there if I get dementia!

Mum is very stubborn and set in her ways and staff worked really hard to settle her into Orchard House Residential Care Home, involving her in any decisions. The home is clean and well looked after, the staff are great, friendly and professional. The food is good she says. I am confident that her needs

My wife went into care in September, she had stopped eating due to Alzheimer's and had lost a lot of weight. Since going in she has started to eat and has put on some weight, she has settled in quite quickly and is now quite happy and contented all thanks to the amazing care team that looks after her.

All seems fine. Resident is settling in. She is sometimes a little frustrated by the (small) size of her room, she would like more room for books and paperwork. She is clearly well-cared for and well-fed. The staff are lovely.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been here for over 3 years. He is living with dementia and has no idea where he is. I think his health needs are met well. The staff are great with his banter and strange sense of humour - something he has always enjoyed. He says the food is good - he has a cooked breakfast every day (I
didn't believe him when he told me but he does!). The relationship between the home and the medical professionals is great. There has not been an activities lead for some time and my father rarely leaves his room - he has never been a joiner in person however I do feel activity for him is a bit lacking. The staff do the best they can with it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for Orchard House and for your kind words about the team, we will be sure to pass them on. The chef is very happy to prepare home-cooked breakfasts every day and we are pleased to hear how much your father enjoys this. Your feedback regarding the activities is greatly appreciated and we are pleased to tell you that we have a new activities coordinator starting at the home next month who will be a great asset to the team.

My father has lived at Orchard House for nearly a year. Initially, I was very worried about how he would take to living there but I needn't have worried. All of the staff know his name and they always have time to speak to him even though they don't get much back in return. His room is always kept clean
and receives medical attention when needed. We are always kept informed of any problems or medical interventions. There is always someone to speak to about any worries and these are acted upon. It would be nice if they had something more to keep them occupied.

My mother has been a resident for over four years now and her physical well-being has improved greatly from the care she is receiving at Orchard House Residential Care Home although, at 96 years of age, dementia and anxiety affect the way she views her situation. Despite the fact that she can be very
difficult at times, the staff have always appeared to be kind and committed in their attitude and to have her best interests at heart. Overall, I have no doubt that she will receive a good standard of care and this gives her family in the outside world a great degree of comfort.

My 91-year-old uncle went to Orchard House for two weeks of respite in March and is still there! He is very well looked after. The food is very good. The staff are friendly, kind and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. We are very happy with my uncle's care and would recommend Orchard House without
hesitation.

I have found the staff all very caring, understanding and very patient. Very good medical attention when needed. The room is always clean. My mother is always washed and bath regularly. The lady in administration is always so helpful if you have any questions. Always - the rest of the staff never found
it too much trouble if you ask them for anything. The only that I think is needed is all the rooms need updating with their own toilet suite - my mother has to use a commode in her room because she can't see or hear properly to find the toilet, yes, the carer would take her if she calls them. She is 101 years old and still likes a little independence. Own toilets and a little sink would be great in all rooms. Not possible in the room my mum is in far too small.

A very stable care environment, focussed on the comfort, health and wellbeing of residents. Regular activities, tasty meals and a nice cup of tea are all great features. Always tidy, with plenty of genuinely caring staff and a real buzz about the place in the daytime. Always kept informed, Mum is happy

I am really grateful to those who helped me find a care home for my sister 18 months ago!


After a serious fall, and time in hospital, it was no longer considered safe for her to live alone and the staff and facilities at Orchard House Residential Care Home have provided all the care she now needs

in her late 80s.


My monthly visits involve a round trip of more than 200 miles - so I am particularly grateful that she is happy in a residential care facility that I have confidence in and that allows me to live without constantly worrying about my sister and her needs!

My mother has been at Orchard House Residential Care Home since August 2020. All the staff I meet while visiting seem very caring, friendly and patient and, although my mother has dementia (and therefore doesn't remember much), she often says that the staff are all very nice and she is well looked after.
The home is clean and the food looks good. As much as her condition allows, my mother seems to be comfortable and happy living at Orchard House.
