Amazing support received from all members of staff, from reception to kitchen staff, to carers and nurses, everyone was so caring, polite and friendly. Rooms are cleans and all areas well maintained. We couldn't have wished for better care for our mum.

Overall Experience

The first impression of Park View Care Home is one of beauty and peace. The bistro area and garden are wonderful. When you move through the building the staff are so friendly and welcoming. In the dining area the staff are cheerful and helpful and the food is delicious. The care that my mother in law

receives is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble and every small detail is notes and acted upon. We couldn't wish for anything better. Thank you so much.

The management at Park View were very accommodating from the start. We were able to move Dad in quicker than expected, which proved a big help. From then our experience continued to be positive; the staff are kind and caring and have taken time to get to know our dad. The settings and facilities are

magnificent and the rooms are always clean and tidy. Ultimately it is a huge relief to know Dad is cared for and safe at Park View.

Overall Experience

My husband was in the care of Park View for 7 months before he died and was treated with respect and kindness during that time. The care home had a friendly atmosphere and staff were always available for me and my family when we visited (which was almost every day) with cheerfulness and practical help

when needed. My husband was probably not the easiest of the residents to deal with but he received good care and I know he appreciated that he was cared for at all times. At the end someone was with him in his room and the family and myself were grateful for that. Thank you.

Reply from Sharon Bowen, Customer Relations at Park View Care Home

Overall Experience

My mother has been at Park View Care Home for just over a month now. All the staff have been very welcoming and have taken great care of her, and she is now settling in nicely. The home is kept beautifully clean, the food is very good and there are plenty of activities, so there is always something

to do. The staff are always visible and to hand, so the residents are obviously well looked after. The atmosphere is calm and friendly, and the staff say that their prime concern is that the residents should be happy. Thank you so much to all the staff.

Review of
The Cambridgeshire Care Home
from J P (Husband of Resident) published on 30 April 2025

Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

This is the best (and most expensive) respite fortnight. My wife has had 5 different cambridge care homes. The home was recently purpose built on the site of a BMW dealership and offers BMW level care at BMW prices. Included are varied activities, chiropody, hairdressing, good fresh cooked food (especially

soup) with attentive, friendly enthusiastic staff. Note that 14 days stay = 13 nights, as it says at the end pf the 14-page contract, but not at the start. Keep receipt of payment (we were temporarily asked for a new cheque after the old one paid in full) clothes, which were whisked away to the laundry but not always whisked back. If you want high quality respite care and can afford it, Cambridgeshire care home is the place to go

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughtful review. We're delighted to know that your Wife had a very positive experience with us, and how our Team's dedication, freshly prepared meals, and the range of services made a meaningful difference during her stay.We appreciate your kind comparison to "BMW-level-care"-we offer exactly that standard of comfort, attention, and professionalism in everything we do. Your feedback about our quality food and enthusiasm of our staff is incredibly encouraging, this will be shared with the whole team. We are also grateful for your constructive comments, taking note about the contract regarding 14 day/13 night structure, we will review this as it can be misinterpreted. Similarly, we are looking into how we can further streamline our laundry service, with an almost full occupancy laundry can take up to 3 days to turnaround. Thank you once again for your review and choosing the Best Care Home in Great Shelford for respite care.

Overall Experience

March has been a challenging month for my mum and the whole team have really offered her loads of infectious encouragement and confidence to do well with her exercises and mobility. They have always been there in a very supportive and understanding way and have created a programme that meets her new

challenges so that she can regain independence. Each time she feels a little dejected they are warm and encouraging. The PT and well being team have also gone out of their way to help and support her in her progress and without all this support I feel sure she would have languished and not been able to make the progress and gain some independence back.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review of your Mother's recovery, it is so encouraging and caring and really shows how our Carers and Wellbeing Teams, as well as our Strengthening and Conditioning Coach, can create such a positive outcome for Residents. Your Mother has embraced her recovery, it has been a delight to see her regain her confidence and independence. Thank you once again for your review I will be delighted to share this with the Teams.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank this home enough for the care and support they give the families and residents.
We said a sad goodbye to the staff when we lost my father in February,. At the beginning of March my mother had a fall, and unable to care for her at home, I called the customer relations manager. Mum arrived

11 days ago, to the most wonderful warm reception and it feels like we've come home.
The staff work so hard, to ensure residents are well cared for, it cannot be easy if everyone calls at once, but they always arrive with a smile and nothing is too much bother.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you for your very kind review of The Cambridgeshire Care Home's caring staff. It has been our pleasure to have cared for your Father and now to be able to care for your Mother and have you all return as a family. Looking forward to seeing you soon, thank you once again I will be sure to share your kind message with the Teams.

Very warm, caring environment and all staff kind and considerate. As a family we felt very confident in the care from all the staff. The tone was set from the start with the welcome that our loved one received, and the reassurance given to the family. There was a real understanding how this is a difficult

time when your loved one is requiring residential care.
Would highly recommend.

The Cambridgeshire Care Home
from Jacek G (Son of Resident) published on 19 March 2025

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident of the Gt. Shelford home and I think she had a marvellous time there. We had tried to look after her at home but it became apparent that even with 24-hour days of three shifts of care nurses and family members the good old family home was an issue.

At Gt. Shelford, the constant

attention, the very high level of care and, I must say, the equally high quality cuisine ensured that my mother's autumn months were spent wrapped within a mantle of mentally stimulating and physically comforting friendship of luxurious comfort.

Even after my mother passed, the customer relations manager and deputy home manager went out of their way to help the family with much emotional support. One may not realise it until afterwards, but the time, help and attention we received form all the staff at the Home was a substantial support during the time the family needed it the most. This is something more lies outside a 'business plan', it is humanity, friendship and the essence of 'care'.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you so much for your beautiful review of The Cambridgeshire Care Home highlighting our exceptional care, kindness, wonderful cuisine and activities for Residents and Families.

Overall Experience

I am so happy we chose The Cambridgeshire Care Home for Mum. She is happier there than she has been in decades. She laughs a lot and makes the staff laugh, even though she is sliding into dementia.
The staff know her likes, dislikes and foibles. They clearly love her and are very attentive, treating

her with kindness and patience at all times.
Food is delicious, varied and plentiful. I was a little concerned on a recent visit that Mum wasn't eating all her lunch. It turns out that she regularly has three breakfasts which the staff cheerfully help her with.
Her room is nicely decorated and she has several pieces of furniture and paintings on the wall, making it home from home.
The communication from the staff is excellent - they will telephone if there is something to pass on about an aspect of Mum's care and are always available to talk and listen when I visit.
The activities are varied; Mum gets a lot out of meeting baby goats and lambs, singing and listening to the Banjo man, to name a few.

Reply from Yvonne Quigley, Customer Relations Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review of The Cambridgeshire Care Home and all we offer to our Residents. We enjoy our resident's company, get to know them and are happy to accommodate their needs and wishes. Your Mum is a wonderful character and we all enjoy her company, she makes us laugh frequently and does enjoy the variety of activities we have throughout the week. So glad you like your Mum's newly decorated room, it gives us great pleasure to update rooms with residents making independent choices towards their decor and surroundings. Very important that we are offering them these choices. We look forward to seeing you soon.
