The Cambridgeshire Care Home
from Alex P (Son of Resident) published on 30 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident for nearly two years, and has a wonderfully comfortable room overlooking the garden. The staff are attentive, and treat her with care and dignity. The close relationship with the local medical centre was one of the attractions for our family, and the local GP has been a

regular visitor, ensuring our mother's good health. Social activities and stimulating events keep Mum healthy.

from E W (Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The two essential attributes of a good care home are -
1. efficient organisation and 2. well-trained, kind, decent, human carers.
The Cambridgeshire Care Home is first-class under both heads. The building has feel superb, well-designed both in and out and in detail. The daily operations unfold unfailingly

smoothly. The carers, medical and non-medical are without exception, delightful - consistently patient and gracious in their interaction with residents. I would unhesitatingly recommend this care home.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found both our organisation and our teams to be of such a high standard. Your comments about our carers' professionalism, compassion and kindness, and the smooth running of daily operations are greatly appreciated and will be shared with the whole team.
We wish you well.

Overall Experience

Staff at Park View are all welcoming, caring, loving and friendly, going out of their way to help. Even if it's not their job, they will find someone else who can help. The home is always clean, warm, with food and drink available. I'm always reassured that staff never neglect the vital aspects of care

- regular toilet routines, hydration, hygiene, washing/dressing assistance - this is the sign of a truly caring home, and activities are offered daily to stimulate mind and body.

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care HomeThank you very much for taking the time to share such thoughtful and positive feedback about Park View.

We place great importance on the vital aspects of care you mention, including dignity, hygiene, hydration, and regular routines, and it is very encouraging to know these efforts are recognised.
We are also pleased that you value the cleanliness and warmth of the home, the availability of food and drink, and the range of daily activities offered to support both mental and physical wellbeing. Your feedback will be shared with the whole team, as it reflects the dedication and compassion they bring to their roles every day.

During my two week respite stay I felt fully supported by all the staff who consistently acted in a professional, friendly and caring manner and demostrated a great aptitude to team working. The food was very, very tasty. I also particularly appreciated the regular visits from the physiotherapist who

encouraged in me a "can do attitude" and helped me in my convalescence from a hip replacement operation.

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.
We are delighted to hear that you felt fully supported during your respite stay and that our team's professionalism, friendliness, and teamwork made a positive difference to your experience. It is especially pleasing to know you enjoyed the food and found it to be very tasty.
Your kind words about our strengthening coach are greatly appreciated. We're very glad his regular visits helped encourage a "can-do attitude" and supported your recovery following your hip replacement. Your feedback will be shared with the whole team, who will be encouraged to know their care and dedication were so meaningful.

Review of
The Cambridgeshire Care Home
from Gail B (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I attended the dementia awareness workshop in November 2025 taken by Chris Elsley. The information was invaluable and I learnt so much in a short period that will help me navigate issues with dementia and how to relate and communicate with dementia sufferers. Although my elderly mother who is resident

at the home does not suffer from dementia my (much younger) husband has recently been diagnosed with early on set alzheimers and I have really struggled. Meeting other loved ones at the workshop was also very inspiring and made me feel much less alone, and we had a very good laugh and lovely cakes.
Thank you to Chris and all the wonderful nursing staff, admin staff and caterers and cleaners at CCH and to Yvonne for organising.
Gail (daughter of resident)

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're really pleased to hear that you found the workshop valuable and that it provided support during what sounds like a very challenging time for you.

I wish I had been to this course three years ago when my husband first showed signs of dementia.
I came with a neighbour and we both felt we benefited from coming to the course. The knowledge we took away was very helpful.

from S S (Wife of Resident) published on 12 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

After looking after my husband at home for over 20 years from an awful debilitating disease I vowed never to use a care home for him. However this decision was taken away from me due to his and mine deteriorating health. I also have experience working in a care home . Because of looking after him for

so long I have very, very high standards regarding my husbands care and was determined not to let his care lapse in any way on admission to Park View. He has very complex needs which I demand are met to a very high standard. Overall Park View has met these standards. There has been issues with my husband's care but with communication with the management and staff and time these have been generally resolved . My experience is any problems have to be sorted face to face and that is the key for harmony between care providers and clients. Overall Management and staff are very approachable with any issues I have.

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting us with your husband's care. We understand how difficult the decision must have been after more than 20 years of looking after him at home, and we truly appreciate the depth of your dedication and the very high standards you rightly expect.
We are pleased to hear that, overall, Park View has met those standards and that your husband's complex needs are being supported to your satisfaction. We also appreciate your honesty in highlighting the issues that have arisen along the way. Your willingness to work with us, especially through face-to-face communication, has been invaluable in helping us resolve concerns and continue improving the quality of care.

Park View Care Home
from S V (Wife of Resident) published on 4 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When first admitted to care home it took a few months for the home to gain understanding of my husband's specialist needs because he lacks capacity and is unable to let staff know what he requires. He cannot hold a vessel to drink himself and needs feeding so it needs regular and experienced staff who

understand this to ensure he does not dehydrate and lose weight. He also needs good help to position in his chair and bed correctly and ensure he is kept clean. I speak to staff directly and ask for things to be corrected if not ok and most regulars know his requirements. On the nursing and general health side, records do not seem to be understood and known by all parties, ie hospital/GP/nursing and other agencies.

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care HomeThank you for highlighting these issues - your advocacy is playing a crucial role in ensuring your husband receives the level of care he needs and deserves. we are hear to help

The staff at the care home work tirelessly to ensure that all residents receive top quality care.
My mother has been a resident for nearly three years and in that time we have never had any concerns regarding the care she receives.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming when we are arrive. We

are kept fully informed about any changes to our mother's health and wellbeing. When care is delivered to our mother it is done so with dignity and professionalism. The wellbeing team go out of their way to make sure there are a variety of activities on offer and include all residents in these no matter their circumstances.

from A H (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Although my mother is now bedbound the staff continue to be their caring and gentle selves. They try to involve her in some of the activities for example bringing up various animals for her to stroke (an especial pleasure for mum) and celebrating her birthday with a special cake as well as organising

for the hairdresser to come to her room to cut her hair and the podiatrist for her nails.
They helped make the move from one room to another a seamless process and mum loves the view of trees and birds from the window of her new room.
The regular reviews of mum's care plan keep us up to date and the Heads of Care always respond quickly to our requests. Michele on reception is always welcoming and makes us feel at home immediately - and knows my requirement for a delicious coffee and cake available from the bistro on arrival.
We are very happy with mum's overall standard of care and stand in awe of the dedication of all the staff.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you so much for your wonderful review of The Cambridgeshire Care Home Staff, Facilities and Services.

Every aspect of Cambridgeshire Care Home is excellent. The staff are caring and friendly, rooms are very pleasant.

coffee. I have felt very supported by the staff from the receptionists to the Heads of Care in Mum's unit. They were particularly helpful during the speedy transition from hospital - they went out of their way to make things as easy as possible for us. Thank you all!

My 98-year-old mother has been a resident in Park View, Ipswich, for just over three years. She has received exemplary care from everyone. The house is beautifully furnished, clean and welcoming. It is very well designed and managed. All the residents enjoy the food. My mother is no exception. Mum is

really enjoying the singing sessions and other sensory activities. These are especially important to her as she is partially blind and very hard of hearing. Thank you everyone at Park View, from her children and grandchildren and their partners. Cheers!

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care HomeThank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. It truly means a great deal to all of us here at Park View.
We feel privileged to care for your mother and are delighted to hear how much she enjoys the activities, especially the singing sessions. It's wonderful to know that they bring her joy and connection, particularly given her visual and hearing challenges. We always strive to create a supportive, stimulating, and welcoming environment for all our residents, and it's heartening to hear that this has made a positive difference for your mum.
Your words of appreciation will be shared with the entire team-they will be absolutely thrilled to know their care and dedication are making such a meaningful impact.

Overall Experience

Mum was resistant to care and wanted to live in her own home. She became poorly as a result but needed care badly as she was falling and had some serious health issues. The thing is that unlike children adults can be difficult to suggest loving advice to and this can cause stress and concern. The day

came that mum eventually was admitted to Park View.
This was a turning point. She immediately began to return to her old self due to constant care and attention.
Mum began to take an interest in things, though she was always a private person. With help her appearance and personality blossomed. She really loved the food and her room which looked onto the garden. Cheerful company of the nurses and staff did so much to make her enjoy life again. Thanks to Park View and everyone who looked after mum. She was very happy there and gave she and I some peace of mind.

Overall Experience

My father has been in the Cambridgeshire Care Home for a week of respite care after an operation. My sister and I have been very impressed with the care that has been taken of him, to ensure a restful environment in which he can recuperate and maintain his regular post-op exercises.
The staff could

not have been more welcoming, from the day we took our parents to see round the care home, to when my father was welcomed there after being in hospital and every day since. All the staff, including the nurses, those who bring him his meals and the electrician who checked his electric fan that we provided from home, all led by the very able customer relations manager, have been smiley, friendly, reassuring and prompt at responding to his requests. All our emails have been responded to comprehensively and quickly. We have had a couple of useful calls from the nurses to bring us up to speed with things, which was reassuring and helpful.
The room my father is in is wonderful, and I believe, newly decorated.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you so much for your wonderful review of The Cambridgeshire Care Home.
