Review from Keith B (Son of Resident) published on 31 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum took the big decision to go into care after a fall, made her realise that independent living was too much. Having contacted a number of care homes, Cambridge Give was the only home to actually reply. They were very prompt and exceptionally helpful in answering all our questions and a chance to
look around the home was swiftly arranged. The process of moving in was swift and easy, and all the staff have been so nice, helping Mum to settle in. The home is more like a hotel than a care home, providing great food, smart accommodation and many activities laid on for the residents. I can't fault the level of care Mum receives, her every need is being cared for. A high thank you to everyone at Cambridge Grove - you are real stars.

My mother-in-law moved into the Cambridge Grove in March, and is settling in very well. Her care has been excellent. Any problems have been addressed well and we feel that we have the opportunity for open and supportive discussions regarding her care. The food is excellent, we have joined her for a
few meals, each one tasty and using fresh ingredients.
The home is new and everything looks beautiful, including the gardens and surrounding park area. We are enjoying visiting and sitting in the gardens together to have coffee when the weather is so good and we also know that she is given the chance of being outside regularly accompanied by homemakers.
The staff are cheerful and friendly to both us and mother-in-law and we feel secure in the knowledge that she is being very well looked after at all times.

I have had two weeks of "respite" at the Grove and I have been very impressed with the care and kindness given to me by all the staff. My overwhelming impression is of a happy and friendly team all working together (I emphasise together!) to make residents as comfortable as possible, and I appreciate
all they have done for me. I would have no hesitation in rec recommending the Grove to my friends.

Review from Diana N (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My elderly mum could not be made more comfortable! Her small suite is clean and well laid out and she has been able to bring her treasured possessions and small furniture with her to make it her real home. All of the décor is brand new, so this helps to make it feel fresh.
The staff is friendly, sensitive,
kind, and caring. They do a great job. They welcome family and friends to visit.
Staff always act in the client's best interests at the centre.
The food is varied, delicious, and freshly cooked. Residents can choose to eat in the airy, light dining room, or take it in their rooms, just as they wish.
Activities are provided, which residents can join in with. In particular, my mum enjoys group singing. The range of activities means that there may be something to please most residents.
The gardens are accessible and staff happily take clients outside when it pleases.
This could not be a better place for assisted living. A good choice! We are grateful Mum is there!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were lucky enough to come across the Cambridge Grove care home in January 2024 after it had just opened. When I went around, I could already see the potential. The staff were friendly and engaged and the quality of the accommodation was first class. Since my mother moved in in February 2024, the
care and attention that she has received have been excellent. Every new place has its teething troubles, but these have been minor and the management of the home has been on top of things at every single stage. The staff are kind and considerate and keep myself and my sister updated on a regular basis. If there are any problems we know about them immediately. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.

Review from Nigel W (Friend of Resident) published on 25 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having known her for a considerable time and am well accustomed to her needs, likes, dislikes, etc. Over the past year or two, she has suffered poor health and spells in the general hospital, which has to address her needs and well-being.
Her stay at Cambridge Grove is and has been most beneficial
due to the standard of care, management and excellent facilities.
As a concerned onlooker, it is most reassuring to know that such a facility exists, and I will recommend it to others.

Review from Gillian G (Wife of Resident) published on 3 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
"Brilliant!" said my very tall husband when I asked him, "How was your stay at Cambridge Grove Care Home," (just 4 miles from the nearby city). This was his first ever experience of respite care - a 2 week stay. He was very well cared for throughout. The food at the home was excellent and the activities
too. As a musician, he enjoyed playing the piano there for the other residents, and it helped maintain his own church organ playing skills. The facilities are lovely, and the views across to the local hospital are stunning.
The personal care by the clinical staff was excellent, especially by one member of staff in particular who was attentive, professional and friendly. It was certainly the right thing, in the right place at the right time for us. We are grateful.
My husband made new friends amongst the other residents and the staff are fond of him too. He will certainly be back for another stay soon! Thank you everyone at Cambridge Grove, we really liked what you did there!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.884)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.884) out of 10 for Cambridge Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 68 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.884 for Cambridge Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (722 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 807 Ratings = 4.884
  2. 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 Cambridge Grove Care Home is based on 68 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 68 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
