My only issues with the home are that A) occasionally there may be communication difficulties because of language and B) laundry is not specific enough i.e. clothes can be subject to shrinkage.
Otherwise, all aspects are good. Staff are friendly, kind and caring and the home is very clean.

Review from Jim A (Great-grandson of Resident) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My great nan was in the care of Cambridge Manor and to be honest she was left in her room for the majority of the 3 years until she sadly passed. In my opinion, her needs were not met when it comes to physical, mental, and spiritual needs. Eventually, she didn't even feed herself as I believe it took
too long for someone to sit with her while she fed herself. There were appointments on Zoom missed during the lockdown, the most important being the one on mother's Day that was meant to be made to her daughter, this was due to her being asleep. Even though appeals were made to be flexible and complete an ad-hoc call that day when she woke up that was ignored which is sad. Although this home has good facilities they are only available to able-bodied residents. All pictures on Facebook are of the same residents time and time again, my great nan was only in one photo which was her 100th birthday. The other services like church, singing, music, films, hairdressing, food in the restaurant, or just simply being outside in the garden were not something that she enjoyed while at this home.
I know she was fed food while asleep/under the effects of medication. On her passing, there was no real communication from the home which allowed anyone to be with her during her passing. I believe she died alone with no loved ones around her which is very sad. On collecting her belongings, this was a very cold uncaring way of dealing with family who are grieving. I would recommend a different care home for your loved one/s to be cared for as at this one, "it's all about the money", they even charge for a cup of tea and parking to visit your loved one/s.

Review from Merrie A (Great-granddaughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our overall experience of Cambridge Manor was negative.
The staff cared for my nan effectively for her nursing care but her mental health and quality of life throughout her time in Cambridge Manor were completely neglected. She was rarely taken from her bed or room until such a point that this was
no longer possible. She was never given the opportunity to feed herself or to keep any of her independence which she subsequently lost along with her remaining dignity. Even her faith was ignored, despite many requests to visit the church services within the home. Before Covid we didn’t feel welcome and during Covid it was very difficult to make any contact.
When my nan sadly passed away we were given very little notice to try to be with her. After her passing, there was no communication from the home with condolences. She was in your care for 3 years!
When collecting my nan's belongings I was made to feel like a nuisance, no care was taken at all, you even sent back personal care items. I could go on.

Safety measures during Covid were very good and kept us safe. The home is friendly and happy, with groups of residents making friends and also staff joining in. Other staff are excellent and go the extra mile to make us comfortable. I feel safe, cared for and well looked after here. I am treated like
an individual.

Mum went into Cambridge Manor in November 2019 so I haven't seen her very much since lockdown, but the home provided Zoom calls during this time which was really nice for us both to see each other. I feel there could have been a better introduction to the home for me as I wasn't really told anything
about how things worked. I was shocked when I was told my mother wouldn't receive personal care as she had been angry with one of the carers - she has dementia. Since then and having moved floors the carers are much more aware of her condition, and kinder.
Reply from George Bacon, Community Developement Manager at Cambridge Manor Care Home

Thank you for your review. Lockdown was so hard for everyone involved, we tried so hard to make things easier for our residents and we are glad to hear that your video calls were meaningful. We now have a really great system for welcoming new admissions but we thank you for your feedback. Our carers will never be refused personal care due to their emotions, if needs changed we will take action for the sake of our residents. Your lovely mother is a pleasure to care for and we love that she is here with us at Cambridge Manor.

We found the home clean and inviting. The menu available was very good with a wide range.
Activity team were very good.
Reception staff good.
Garden unkempt and looked run down.
Most staff very good but there was a language barrier/understanding/communication issue which is less than ideal in the
setting.
Agree with a previous comment in regard to issue with some staff members and their ability to provide care.
Complaint made and moved to a new home.
Reply from George Bacon, Community Developement Manager at Cambridge Manor Care Home

Dear Karen, Thank you for acknowledging our brilliant wellbeing/activities team as well as the fabulous food and drink that our kitchen team lovingly prepare for our residents. It's regretful that you feel the overall standard of the home is low, as all team members ensured that Mum was as happy and as comfortable as possible (for instance our home manager cutting and styling mum's hair in an attempt to make her feel better). Your praise of the cleanliness of our home in your statement contradicts the low rating for the same subject. We are extremely proud of all of our staff and all the hard work that they do to make sure that the home is clean and the residents are safe, happy and treated with dignity throughout their stay at Cambridge Manor.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have just returned to my home in America from a very brief trip to visit my mother who is a Cambridge Manor Care Home resident. Covid-19 restrictions on travel meant that this was the first time in two years that I had seen my mother in person and it was also the first time that I had the opportunity
to see her at Cambridge Manor Care Home. I want to express my enormous gratitude to all the staff but in particular, to the ground floor staff for the wonderful care my mother receives and for their thoughtfulness in making my and my sons' daily visits occur with such ease. It was evident on my entering Cambridge Manor Care Home that this was indeed a very special place where the residents' wellbeing is always a central concern of the staff. Many, many thanks!

Thank you so much for your wonderful praise of our lovely home. We are so happy to have your mum and you all as part of our Cambridge Manor family. We do have such fun here and love to ensure that the residents not only live in the home but thrive and enjoy everything there is to do in life. We can't wait to welcome you into the home to join us in these fun events now we are opening up more! Last year we hosted Wimbledon and bought the beach to Cambridge Manor, this year we are hosting a dog show (don't forget to enter your pup!) and turning our garden into the magical world of Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory! We can't wait for you and Mum to enjoy it with us.

My mother initially came to Cambridge Manor Care Home for respite care after a spell in hospital. She soon realised that the care, support and company she received was far better than we could achieve at home - so she opted to stay. We are very grateful to Cambridge Manor for making her feel so welcome
and cherished in her last months.

The majority of staff have been excellent but a few carers have been rough and seemed uncaring.
It seems that care staff are very stretched, especially at busy times, and just a few more staff would be appreciated given the amount charged.

Dear Alan, Thank you for your review of Cambridge Manor. We are surprised to hear of your perception of our staff and are so sorry that this is how you feel. We can assure you that we adapt our team members to ensure that there are suitable team members present at any one time for the needs of our residents and to ensure their safe care. I am most upset to hear that you felt someone to be uncaring, and I will contact you directly so that we can get a full understanding of your experience and offer any training and/or support to ensure that no one else has a similar experience. This is not feedback we often receive (thankfully) so thank you for bringing it to our attention so we can investigate.

My mother-in-law moved to Cambridge Manor Care Home in April 2020 at the beginning of lockdown. It was a really hard adjustment for us all, my mother-in-law, us and the home. However, after the initial isolation period, where my mother-in-law was confused but very well cared for, she has got happier
and healthier as the time has gone on. We have had happy visits and seen my mother-in-law improve in health every time. I now can say my mother-in-law is more happy than I’ve seen her in a long time and from what I can see the care is amazing. I must say I’m very jealous of the entertainment provided and look forward to joining them when we are allowed. I have never seen or heard of care homes that provide so much for the residents to do. This keeps their body and brains active. Well done Cambridge Manor Care Home and thank you for the care you give my mother-in-law.
Reply from Maria-Grace Smith, Community Developement Manager at Cambridge Manor Care Home

Dear Lisa,
Thank you so much for your review. It has been a difficult 18 month for everyone, including your family who had this big adjustment to negotiate. We agree, your Mother-in-law is now so very happy with us and we are so happy to have her as part of our family. We are so thrilled to read your kind words about our well-being and activities. We have really put a lot of energy into providing lots of fun things for our residents to do, especially over the last 18 months when visits were so limited. As we open up more and get back to our pre-covid ways (safely and still with testing, I imagine) we cannot wait to welcome you and your family to our future events so you can join in the fun too.

Cambridge Manor offers wonderful care and nursing services to its residents. I would like to commend the team and its management for their dedication, commitment and competence, always striving to live by truth, love and compassion values. They had to deal with extraordinary circumstances and are coping
so admirably with the Covid restrictions. With eternal gratitude, I would like to note their bespoke approach and recognising the importance of family members visiting and for enabling and facilitating the different types of visits during lockdowns. Since my father became a resident here in January 2021, I am witnessing consistent outstanding care and support for residents, superb quality of food and drink, a wide range of activities and entertainment – music and movies, crafts, puzzles and games, exercise, sensory and relaxation. I am so happy that my father is content and so well cared for.

My bright and intelligent, elderly aunt (97, now with dementia) is absolutely thriving at Cambridge Manor. There's plenty of imaginative and diverse activities to keep her occupied - from art club, flower arranging, baking, exercise classes, live music, cinema and lots, lots more plus (now that restrictions
are being lifted) wheelchair walks around Cambridge. A special effort is made on certain dates e.g. Easter or VE day and birthdays are always celebrated. The staff and volunteers are excellent at encouraging participation and seem engaged, caring, kind and thoughtful. There is a sense of enjoyment of life and fun to be had. The food is excellent and there is nursing care available when required, meaning there will be no need to move, if care needs change in the future. There is a weekly newsletter and the online app keeps us updated on a daily basis too. There is a lovely garden which the residents can access and sit out in the fresh air. Cannot fault the care or facilities.
Reply from Maria-Grace Smith, Community Developement Manager at Cambridge Manor Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are so glad to have your Aunt with us and that she is doing so well - thriving is the word! She is a joy to have in all of our activities - we really enjoy putting on a diverse range of events and activities for our residents to participate in and are so glad that she enjoys them. The enjoyment and fun are real here and glad that you have felt it too. I'm so pleased to hear that the newsletter and app are helpful to you in keeping up-to-date - it is so important to us to keep our family members updated about what is happening in the home, especially with all the changes that we have had to communicate over the last year.

Encouraging my mother to move to Cambridge Manor Care Home has been a long process, almost two years. Throughout that time I have felt supported by the staff with kindness and understanding that it was a difficult move both for my mother and for me. She moved in at a very difficult time, the Covid-19
pandemic put extra difficulties in our way but my mother has come through all this with the kindness, care and attention she receives.

Thank you for your kind words and lovely review. I am so glad to hear that you have felt supported throughout the process - we know that moving into a Care Home is a difficult time for everybody, the addition of Covid adds complications but nothing we can't overcome when our team and our families work together. Your Mother deserves all the kindness, care and attention in the world and we are honoured that we get the chance to bestow it on her.

We have been very fortunate to find Cambridge Manor and for them to be able to accept my father as a resident. He has dementia. The previous care home was not equipped to cope with his needs. Since moving to Cambridge Manor my father has flourished. He is calmer, happier and healthier. The team learned
more about him in the first few weeks than the previous home did in 18 months. The attention to detail, individual care and connection to the family is exceptional. I can not recommend it highly enough.

My wife has been a resident in the Cambridge Manor Care Home since the 11th of March 2020. She requires full nursing care, has dementia and is almost totally disabled, with all that entails in terms of professional assistance, back-up and kindness. I was looking for somewhere reasonably close to where
I live in north Cambridge. I did my homework on the Internet and visited several establishments. The variation in standards was a bit of an eyeopener for me. However, Cambridge Manor Care Home stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of its professionalism, organisation and sheer ambience. I was delighted when my wife was offered a place there. Within a very short time of her arrival, "lockdown" arrived. Nevertheless, the staff have kept me fully informed by phone of the problems they encounter and the steps being taken to sort things out. I talk to her on the phone daily and see her in the garden once a week. I feel she could not be in better or more caring hands.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Although I've not been able to be with my mother during lockdown, Cambridge Manor has facilitated contact via Skype if required. The staff have also brought my mother to the reception so we can see her and talk to her on the phone which was lovely. The reception staff and nursing staff I have had
direct contact with during the lockdown have been so kind and caring at a time of stress for family members and I have been so grateful for that. My mother feels safe and comfortable in her home and that is important for her and the family.
Reply from Maria-Grace Smith, Community Developement Manager at Cambridge Manor Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. I am so glad that the team have come together to enable you to see and speak with Mum as much as is possible during these difficult times. At TLC, we know how important our families are to our residents' wellbeing and we have tried to do everything that we can to enable our residents to communicate with their loved ones during lockdown, in the safest way for all. Being kind and caring is in our nature, and I am so glad to know that this has continued during what has been a turbulent time for all of us. Your Mother is a very valued member of our family and we are so happy that she knows she is safe with us. We are looking forward to welcoming you and your family back in for a cup of tea and cake in the cafe as soon as we can.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Cambridge Manor 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 77 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 76 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 4.850 for Cambridge Manor Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (797 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 904 Ratings = 4.85
  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 Manor Care Home is based on 76 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 76 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.
