My mum has recently passed away in The Cambridgeshire Care Home, and the care and support she had in the last few weeks were exemplary. She was so well looked after from a physical, emotional and psychological point of view. The staff on Wimpole were like family to her and made her end of life as comfortable
and pleasant as they could. Both care and management were very sensitive to us as a family, and communication was excellent. It is a wonderful home, and I thoroughly recommend it.
Reply from Judith Wroe, Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time and kind words expressed about the home.
I will share your comments with the staff on Wimpole and the rest of the wider team.

The staff are amazingly caring and patient at The Cambridgeshire Care Home. They are taking excellent care of my mum; I'm very happy how she is being looked after. They show her dignity and respect at all times. The food is wonderful, the activities are varied and very inclusive. Mum is enjoying being
part of The Cambridgeshire Care Home family and tells me good things every day. Can't thank the staff enough.

My mum has been at The Cambridgeshire Care Home since August 2020. She moved in during the pandemic, so visiting was restricted. The staff have made this change so much easier for her. They are always kind and caring for Mum and us relatives. Communication is excellent. Amazing.

I was delighted to see the variety of events put on for residents at the care home over December 2020, leading up to Christmas and New Year. They really did keep residents happy and fulfilled with a variety of activities and then a Christmas street market. It was lovely to see them all enjoying themselves
on the app and through the tablet on a Zoom meeting. The staff are amazing.

Review from A A (Respite Resident) published on 2 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently spent five-plus weeks in respite care in The Cambridgeshire Care Home - after surgery. The first two weeks were in isolation to comply with the Covid-safe protocols. I was so impressed with the diligence and hard work all the staff went to, to keep us all safe. Nothing was too much trouble
to help me to recover. It was a brilliant team effort. The home is well known to my family - my husband is nor a resident. When the two weeks isolation ended, I was able to spend "quality time" with him! I was greatly reassured to see the home from the inside and to know my husband is in the best possible hands.

My mother moved into the Shelford Cambridgeshire Care Home in June 2020. The help and support the staff gave whilst making this move was total and caring for Mum and the rest of the family. Since moving in have been able to see Mum safely. She loves her room, enjoys the food and thinks all the staff
are wonderful. They encourage her to join in all the activities and have even started evening activities to meet Mum's needs. Thank you.

Review from David R (Son of Resident) published on 6 January 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was resident at this care home for just over 3 years. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that the standard of care - not simply the facilities on offer - was much higher than at her previous care home. Throughout the ups and downs of my mother's needs over this period, the staff were
unfailingly polite, helpful and went out of the way to make my mother as comfortable and well-cared for as possible. During the last 12 months when the world has been besieged by Covid, the home under the manager's leadership has, if anything, simply got better and better. Despite being unable to visit for weeks, the programme of activities in the home was stepped up and every effort made to introduce technology that allowed all residents still to connect with loved ones. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home and would certainly choose it again. It is not for the financially faint-hearted, but you do get great nursing care and really caring staff.

The Cambridgeshire Care Home has some loving staff that look after my mum and make her feel like part of their family. The restricted visiting opportunities during this Covid crisis has been hard on my mum, who was used to almost daily visits. The staff make up for this the best they can, spending time
to talk to her and helping her with things she finds difficult. The fabric of the home is well maintained, and when I do see my mum, she is relaxed, and says, she is well looked after. It's good to see that events for the residents are still being arranged within the home during the Covid crisis.

I was so happy to have found The Cambridgeshire Care Home, after visiting many others in our area, which did not meet the standards I had in mind, it was a relief to view this beautiful home. dad moved in just a few weeks later.
The home itself is super luxurious with a 5* hotel feel. The whole place
is immaculate and no unpleasant smells which I found in all the other homes I visited! Dad was so relieved to have the care and security he needed in his last few months.
I would highly recommend this care home, slightly more expensive but worth every penny.
Thank you.

Since my mother entered the home almost 4-years ago, I've been very happy in the manner she has been looked after and the care she has received. I've always found the staff to be welcoming and friendly, and the home to be very clean and tidy. The meals and entertainment laid on are of the highest quality.

Dad came to live at The Cambridgeshire Care Home for the last ten months of his life. The facilities and food were excellent. Staff were kind, skilled and caring. The coronavirus pandemic has been a huge challenge for care homes and The Cambridgeshire Care Home seemed to me to have prepared well and
risen to the challenge although this did affect care and the residents will have found isolation very hard. At times it was hard to get through to staff looking after dad and my only suggestion is that more should be done to improve communication especially to front line staff.

We looked at many care homes in and around Cambridge but this one ticked all the boxes for us. We would certainly recommend a very homely clean and well-run home. Mum was a resident for two years (May 2018 - May 2020) she was extremely happy there. We found all the staff very professional and caring.
She didn’t go out of her room much as she had lost her confidence since Dad died, they had been together 68yrs, but she did enjoy going to the dining room at mealtimes. The food was of a high standard and presented nicely. Some days she would join in the activities, she especially enjoyed the special occasions eg The Annual Garden party when the rest of the family were able to enjoy the entertainment. There was always refreshments in the Bistro with pastries and fruit on arrival. During these uncertain times, the home certainly kept us informed of the changing circumstances and we were able to chat with mum on Face time.

I stayed at The Cambridgeshire Care Home from 27th January to help recover for hysterectomy. Being 85 years old my family decided I need 2 weeks respite care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for The Cambridgeshire Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.821 for The Cambridgeshire Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.821
  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 The Cambridgeshire Care Home is based on 35 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 35 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.

I am from Romania where I completed my Nurses Training in 2015. I moved to the UK and started working in care homes and have enjoyed providing high-quality care and compassion since then.


I enjoy supporting our Residents, as well as Staff, especially since taking on the role of Head of Care for Queens Household. I take great pride in leading by example and nurturing the team to continue to provide dignity, respect, kindness, and excellence in every aspect of care.


I truly enjoy my role, seeing what a difference I am making in people's lives. For me Nursing is not just a profession it's a calling that I am proud to answer every day.
