Cherry Hinton Care Home

Beautiful home, my cousin is well looked after.

This review is of the care my mother received in July/August 2026, but it is applicable to her entire stay at Cherry Hinton. Mum was so well looked after by a terrific whole team of staff. She (and we) were treated with such kindness and my Mum's final days were peaceful and pain free. I will never be able to thank everyone for the care my Mum received.

My stepmother became a resident here two years ago when we, as a family, recognised she needed a level of care we could not provide at home. We chose Cherry Hinton due to its strong CQC rating and positive reviews. The facilities are clean, modern, and well maintained with a variety of activities offered. Staff have consistently shown professionalism, kindness and compassion, not only to residents, but also to dad, who spent most of his time there. At busier times, care routines can occasionally be disrupted with the need for reminders, however, staff continue to work hard to maintain high standards and ensure residents' needs are met. Of particular note was the care provided in her final days. In the last 48 hours of her life, she was treated with great dignity and sensitivity, and staff supported our family throughout, for which we are deeply grateful. Overall, we are confident we made the right decision and would highly recommend this home.

The love & care provided to our dad during his time here was second to none. The staff went out of their way to look after all of us during our visits too. Thank you for everything.

My husband has been a resident for 8 months, and from day one the whole experience has felt reassuring and genuinely warm. What really stands out is the attitude of the staff - every since person you encounter, whatever they're doing, greets you with a smile and makes you feel truly welcome. It's also really clear that the care here isn't just about the residents - families matter too. Staff don't just respond to situations as they arise; they proactively suggest and initiate approaches that bring additional reassurance to both residents and their families. That kind of thoughtfulness makes an enormous difference and gives us real peace of mind. The activities are brilliantly organised - you can see a lot of thought goes into the planning, and it shows in how engaged the residents are. Keeping families in the loop clearly matters here too. Communication is regular, consistent and always reassuring - I never have to chase for updates. If you're facing the difficult task of finding the right care home for someone you love, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

Overall, I would highly recommend Cherry Hinton Care Home to anyone looking for a compassionate and professional care environment.

Since my mum has been in the care home the whole staff have been fantastic. We as a family couldn't wish for a better place for her. They are lovely and friendly and always on hand if you need anything.

It was such a blow to.me and my own family as had 2 months to find one, mum is frail and not well herself and my sister was moving overseas and was unable to share this dilemma with them at that time. Plus he was in Suffolk previously but due to our family circumstances he could not stay in Suffolk as it was only me visiting once my sister had moved. My mother could not visit regularly as she is more or less housebound herself . When I 1st visited the home I was taken back by the care, Homely,feel the fact the nursing staff had been there along time and had years of experience as my father's case was complex( I am a nurse myself of 45 years) & have never seen anyone with his needs. I just knew immediately this ticked ally boxes. The saddest thing was he passed away 4 days after he moved in.

My mum has moved to the Cherry Hinton Care Home for one month now. I am very grateful to the manager and staff of Cherry Hinton Care Home for helping this transistion. They answered my enquiry patiently, gave very good advice, helped to communicate with the social worker and liaise with my mum's previous care home. The relocation was very smooth and the manager and staff have taken away the stress from me and my family. They even organised a lovely birthday party for my mumjust 4 days after the relocation. The room is well arranged and clean. The staff are so supportive. Thank you.

The Cherry Hinton Care Home today provided my mother with the perfect 100 years old birthday celebration which I and seven other members of mum's family thoroughly enjoyed. We loved the way so many of the staff joined in with genuine enthusiasm and made it such a special day for her. Nothing was too much trouble and the excellent catering and venue within the home itself was absolutely perfect. I cannot speak highly enough, too about the wonderful, patient, caring environment at Cherry Hinton at all times and would recommend it without reservation to any prospective families.

You have cared for my mother-in-law so well this year. She is extremely happy here. Thank you so much!

My wife has been here for the last 6 months and has settled in very well. She is comfortable in her room, and she is close to the dining room and enjoys her food. She doesn't walk well and has to spend a lot of time in her wheelchair. The staff are very friendly, and always seek to help her.

Great job!

My grandmother recently moved in to Cherry Hinton Care Home, and so far I've been extremely impressed with the excellent quality of care, the friendly, attentive staff, and the warm atmosphere she enjoys.

The care home is very clean, and the staff are consistently friendly, professional, and patient. I've noticed that my friend has become much happier and more active since moving here. I will strongly this care home to my friends.

Thank you everyone so much for looking after him so well.

My parents are both residents of Cherry Hinton Care Home. They are very well looked after and have excellent care. They enjoy the activities and the good food. All the staff treat them with dignity, respect and are always so polite and cheerful. It is an immaculately run care home, and we feel very pleased with their care.

My friend has spent the last few months in a care home and was very happy there. She particularly praised the services and the well-prepared food. Whenever I visited, the manager and reception staff were always welcoming, and I was impressed by their constant willingness to offer help and care.

Thank you

My father has been a resident at Cherry Hinton for the past ten months, he was well looked after by the kind attentive team at Cherry Hinton. He was quite sad to leave but as he is moving closer to family to facilitate more frequent visits, in his best interests. The team took the time to get to know him, what he likes and what he does not. I can't praise the whole team there enough and was particularly pleased with the support received during quite a stressful time for Dad, towards the end of his stay. The location and facilities are nice with access to a nice garden and nice walks close by. Thank you to everyone at Cherry Hinton :)
