Right from the beginning when we spoke to the community development manager and looked around, we felt it would be just the right place for him as it has such a calm and homely feel.
When we arrived ahead of Dad we were warmly greeted by a member of staff and were able to get his room ready for him - which was to a very high standard of cleanliness and finish. We were very soon looked after by two other members of staff who made sure Dad settled in well.
Another member of staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about my dad's care and treated us so kindly, not forgetting our names or my sister's. We felt as well cared for as Dad.
We were reassured by the regular checks made on patients day and night and the level of comfort Dad was given during his stay. My husband and I were also so well looked after during our visits, being offered lovely fresh food, drinks and snacks.
We were contacted by staff in good time for us to travel to be with Dad when needed and we are so grateful for this.
Thank you all.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, it was so lovely getting to know your dad and family whilst he was here at the home. Our friendly team are always on hand to help support any new resident and the family as well as to ensure you all feel at home. Feedback like this is so greatly appreciated and I look forward to sharing this with the team.

The care she received was wonderful and she was extremely happy to live there for the final chapter of her life.
Her room was spacious and kept clean and tidy.
She really enjoyed the variety of activities and loved the trip to the local garden centre with the well-being team.
Towards the end of her life, we were really impressed with the level of care she received. She seemed very comfortable and peaceful.
The management team at Cherry Hinton were very helpful and super friendly.
A great place to live and gave us all utter peace of mind knowing my grandmother was cared for to a very high standard.
Thank you, everyone!

Thank you so much for your feedback, it is so greatly appreciated. It was so lovely getting to know your grandmother in the short while she was with us at the home. With our range of activities we have at the home means that there is enough for the residents to do during the day alongside our dedicated volunteers and well-being team. The garden is a big bonus as well, allowing for the residents and family members to enjoy during the summer months. Thanks again for taking the time to review our beautiful home. It is greatly appreciated.

My lovely mother-in-law has been residing at Cherry Hinton Care Home for almost two weeks. During this time we have been very impressed with the quality of care and attentiveness given by the team. We have been regularly informed of my mother-in-law's progress and are pleasantly surprised that carers remember us when we visit. The call from the well-being team to gather non-medical information about my mother-in-law makes us feel that she will be treated with dignity and genuine interest. We are comforted that my mother-in-law is being well cared for in her final days.
I have found Cherry Hinton Care Home a lovely place to live. Everyone is so helpful and supply everything you need. All staff are cheerful and treat you with respect. Any complaints are dealt with immediately.

My wife has been a resident since July. Settled in very quickly - first as a short-term care resident then as a long-term resident in September. Initially occupying a smaller single room and later a larger room with an ensuite shower. Never been bored or left for long with nothing to do. She has Parkinson's disease which has caused challenges for staff which they have overcome cheerfully and competently.

I am relieved and encouraged to see my husband cared for in the way the staff do here. There is a buzz to the place of positivity and care both for my husband and me too.

He enjoys the food, interacting with the staff and the view into the gardens, to name but a few. The open visiting is a measure I think, I think, of the confidence with which they know the place is run. Thank you.

We are very lucky to have such a tranquil garden with some of our rooms overlooking this lovely space and where our residents can enjoy watching the wildlife that lives in our garden. Thanks again and look forward to seeing you soon!
I have a nice room facing east with a cupboard, chest of drawers and bed table finished to look like oak. The bed is comfortable, the food is good and varied, and has a good meat-free selection. The carers are all kind in their own ways and sympathetic.

Mum has improved since she was moved downstairs. It's been really nice to see her taking part in the activities available and although she's not been used to group activities in the past, I think she's enjoying taking part. All the staff I've met have a positive attitude and are very friendly. Mum's room is spacious and clean and she tells me the food is good. Hopefully Mum can get some time in the garden when the weather improves. Overall, I'm very happy with the home and would recommend it to others.
Thank you so much for your feedback. It has been so lovely getting to know you and your mum whilst she is living here at Cherry Hinton Care Home. We do pride ourselves on the 5-star dining experience we offer here at the home, along with our beautiful landscaped gardens which are open for residents and family members to enjoy whilst here at the home.

They not only gave unending support to my sister but provided me and my family with kindness and empathy at a very difficult time.

The purpose of my visit was to help her settle into dementia nursing on a permanent basis. This was successful and she is now residing in the dementia nursing section. She eats and keeps well but is continuously active, walking around the dementia section.
Thank you so much for your feedback, it has been so lovely getting to know you both over the last few weeks. It's lovely to see that your wife is now settling here at the home. We look forward to seeing you very soon.

My 96-year-old mother has settled in well after an emergency hospital admission from her bungalow home and now is staying permanently at Cherry Hinton Care Home as she needs more care than can otherwise be provided for her. The staff have been understanding of the emotional upset for the whole family during her recovery and have facilitated visits and Skype calls. Mum's room has been made 'her own' and she enjoys the food and the activities. She was particularly pleased to attend a resident's meeting and be able to attend church. The home is clean and I appreciate the clinical cleanliness and the efforts to keep residents safe during Covid. Well done to all staff working under pressure at this time. I know that Mum is as safe and as happy as she can be at this time of her life.

Care in the home is excellent, always smiling and helpful staff showing loving care. Food was always good and tasty, especially soups. I had excellent two weeks to help me recover from my major operation. Thank you everyone.

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.
