Moving into a care home is never an easy decision for any individual or family relative to make and therefore has to be made very carefully. We have therefore been extremely pleased with the facilities and care provided by TLC Cherry Hinton. This is an excellent care home for the elderly, run by very professional, dedicated, kind and caring staff. Knowing that the home is so well run has made the transition for our aunt, from independent living to care home provision, so much easier to adapt to.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, it was a pleasure looking after your aunt.

Our mother arrived in a poor state of health and was immediately put at ease by the wonderful, caring staff. This is a professionally run care home, well-staffed and managed. Our mother says she feels safe and at home. The range of activities is impressive and already she has been on her first trip, knowing she would be well-looked after. All aspects of care, nursing, hospitality and activities have been of an excellent standard and the team work to personalise care and help residents achieve their wishes. Mum says it is 'more like home than home'.
Thank you so much for your kind words, It was a pleasure looking after your mother, we are glad that we could make her final days as memorable and meaningful as possible. Thank you once again.
Such a caring and attentive team, from the nursing staff, caring staff and admin staff. All could have not done more for our father and made us feel so welcome. They made him comfortable in his last few days. We would recommend Cherry Hinton Care Home.

My father has been resident in this care home for the last 15 months after having a life-changing stroke and a long hospital stay. The staff working here are simply amazing; they go above and beyond to support the residents. My father has been treated with such kindness, care and understanding. He has made great progress while here. The facilities are excellent. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean and have en-suite facilities. The communal kitchen-diner is a nice relaxing social space. The food is excellent. As a health care worker in the NHS myself, l cannot find any fault with this place. l have peace of mind knowing that my dad is happy in this home and he is being well looked after.

The feel and appearance of the home were clean and comfortable.
The entertainment team encouraged Mum to join in with various activities where she was able but without pressure to do so.
The food and drink were readily offered and of a good standard, I would have liked to see more variety of fresh salad/vegetables available.
The kitchen/dining room and lounges were always very clean, warm and welcoming and I was pleased that my mum was encouraged to join other residents at mealtimes. The lovely gardens made this care home just right for us and I'll always feel grateful for the view Mum had from her window.
Sadly, my mum is no longer with us but I am glad that we chose Cherry Hinton Care Home for her, I felt reassured to know she was safe and well looked after in our absence and my family and I always felt welcome, which was so comforting.

I have had the privilege of serving as Hotel Services Manager and Head Chef at Cherry Hinton Care Home for over six years. Originally from the small island state of Grenada, I bring with me a lifelong passion for hospitality, deeply rooted in the culture and natural beauty of my homeland. In Grenada, hospitality is more than an industry; it is a way of life, woven seamlessly into our connection with people and nature.My career in hospitality began in Grenada, where I developed a profound appreciation for service excellence within natural, sustainable environments. This philosophy continues to shape my professional practice, as I strive to create welcoming, nurturing settings that honour both people and the environment.
Care, catering, innovation, and sustainability have become increasingly important focuses for me, driven by a strong desire for continuous learning and the pursuit of new challenges. I am passionate about integrating sustainable principles into every aspect of my work, ensuring that the hospitality experience is not only of the highest standard but also respectful of the world around us.
I am committed to delivering exceptional service with authenticity, warmth, and integrity, while embracing opportunities for growth and innovation within the hospitality sector.
