After 7 years of looking after my mother the last 3 years of which took its toll on my health, work and overall capacity to function due to lack of sleep, worry and constant problems with care, I can honestly say I can visit her at any time and am happy with the care she receives. I have observed other
residents being cared for with the same dedication and patience. I leave my mother every time knowing she will be well looked after and that feeling is priceless. I thoroughly recommend this home, the carers are kind and professional, the home is warm and comfy and I view it as a second home for my mother.

My mother is treated with respect and dignity. She is kept clean, warm and comfortable. ALL the staff are wonderful and very caring - both management and staff. She has been in the home for several years now and the care has remained constant.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mother relished her independence until nearing her 101st birthday when her emotional and physical state deteriorated rapidly. Despite our need to choose a suitable carehome quickly we know we made the right choice in The Royal Cambridge. The care staff are without exception committed to ensuring
that each resident receives the individual 'tlc' to suit their particular needs, and although the actual building could benefit from the same treatment the general feeling is 'homely' rather than 'a home'. My mother now smiles again. Thank you Royal Cambridge!

Staff are friendly and helpful. Carers are always kind and caring but sometimes seem to look for guidance. They are mainly from overseas and communication with the elderly can be difficult. They have a good programme of activities plus the use of a mini bus and a nice garden.

My mother stayed in The Royal Cambridge Home for nearly 3 weeks for respite care. She is 93 and of fragile health. She was looked after with exceptional kindness at the home and thoroughly enjoyed her stay. She loved the staff, food, activities and joining the other residents in their everyday lives.
The staff treated the residents with great compassion and care. Our family are very grateful for giving my mother such an enjoyable visit where she was safe and cared for so well.

Mum has been a resident at the home for nearly 9 years and there have been many changes during that time. The home offers it's residents a 'home from home' as far as possible and mum came to think of it as home and the staff, family. The staff are caring across the board including the cleaning, catering
and auxiliaries and over the years have become a little like family to us too. Mum is sadly now receiving end of life care, however, I can't think of anywhere I would rather her be. She is treated in a caring, gentle and kind way with dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Royal Cambridge Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.794 for Royal Cambridge Home is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.794

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Royal Cambridge Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
