Since the initial visit two years ago, the care, service and personal attention have been superb.
The Cambridgeshire Care Home is a first-class outfit that should be a model for how care is provided. Staff are well trained, it is clear that they are valued and respected.

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.
Reply from Judith Wroe, Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you for your kind words and review.
I will ensure this is shared with the team and thank you for the feedback regarding communication also throughout this time, we have purchased additional phones to assist with this as part of this learning curve.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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. I found the staff (all kinds) management and all that was needed was there for me and would happily return if I needed to. Most helpful, kind
and I left feeling well-rested and well looked after. All my visitors were most impressed.

Everything here has been excellent. Everything is beautifully clean. Staff are kind and treated me with kindness. Nursing staff were diligent and thorough. The prompt action of the emergency chord at night was within five minutes. Very small consideration - promptness of call during the day took longer.
Overall, excellent convalescent stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was extremely happy with the care my Mum received in the last months of her life from February 2019. I always found the attitude of all the staff very pleasant and I was pleased they all knew her by name from the handyman to the manager. She was not easiest of residents in the last few months but
they always tried to include her in activities although she would not go.
There was never a problem with her personal hygiene and the onsite hairdresser and beautician was a great bonus. The meal selection was always good and if nothing suited they would always offer an alternative.
In the last month of her life, she was treated with dignity and kindness as was any member of the family visiting. Family always felt welcome and any questions raised were always answered. I always felt the staff tried very hard to make it a relaxed and caring environment whilst understanding that many of the residents would prefer to have been in their own homes although that was no longer possible.

The strength of this nursing home is in the staff. They have some very dedicated and caring staff who go beyond expectation and care. There is care in presentation and cleanliness of the building and gardens. I particularly wish to commend night staff - week January 20th onwards. There is a real sense
of unity as a group and they are very efficient in what they do.

I came to The Cambridgeshire Care Home for respite care after an operation to remove my gall bladder. I am 81 years old and live independently. I thought the building, garden and room outstanding. The staff were excellent and professional. The food was really good and well thought out.
However, I
did not get any sleep for the first few nights due to a male resident ranting and raving, shouting and yelling all night. This is not respite care and is unacceptable.
I also observed that some residents were left in an anxious state due to staff not responding to the bell call. Perhaps due to a shortage of staff but this is a basic requirement for all.
Reply from Judith Wroe, Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you for your comments and review. We are sorry you experienced disturbed nights before moving to another room on the Trinity Suite. We do monitor our rotas and call bells, and please be assured that we will continue to do this to ensure response times are kept to a minimum. Once again, thank you for the valuable feedback and I will pass on your positive comments to the Staff Team.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This recently new built care home was what attracted our family to choose this venue for a two-week respite for our 92 year old mother. But, unfortunately, the overall service and attention to detail did not live up to our expectations, and was poor value for money at £1,750 per week. The contract,
terms and conditions etc arrived for our approval the day prior to admission. We were incorrectly advised regarding laundry tags, resulting in confusion and lost garments. Initially no phone in her room, then we were advised twice the wrong number. On visiting, her room had not been cleaned or towels changed. Television in room was not user-friendly for a person with dementia. The care home charges £250 per day, my mothers stay was from Sunday lunchtime to Saturday week lunchtime, i.e., 13 nights, but was charged 14 days!

From Nurses to Carers, hospitality, cleaners, admin, reception and activity coordinators the staff are very friendly and supportive.


I found only one other home in Cambs that would manage chemical sensitivities. When I asked about their cleaning products Cambridgeshire Care Home told me they had

vulnerable residents so, just as in hospitals, used no strong chemicals. Most care homes spray air fresheners to hide smells with no thought to the effect on those living there but not Cambridgeshire Care Home.


The food was good and the hospitality went out of their way to help the day start well.


My en-suite bathroom and the large electric bath and shower communal bathrooms were luxurious. The premises generally were very clean and beautiful. I would recommend bringing cotton bed linen as those supplied were very uncomfortable.


I had a stunning view of the garden so I was able to enjoy looking at the wildlife, birds and squirrels.


Mine was a temporary visit but this is the one I would choose if I had to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother entered The Cambridgeshire Care Home when it opened in 2016 and died there almost exactly two years later.


Mentally alert but frail, she settled happily, thanks to the exceptionally kind staff and strikingly good facilities. She loved walking in the garden and entertaining us in the Bistro.

We used the private dining room for lunch with family or friends several times: very good food for us and a secure setting for her.


Staff were responsive when we had minor concerns, and treated her with just the right mixture of dignity, respect and good humour. They accompanied her to hospital and the dentist when we could not.


For six weeks we knew she had not long to live. Staff gave us frank information compassionately. On the day she died, they arranged for six of us to have a private room and lunch, and we were genuinely moved by the extent of her carers’ own sense of loss.


We feel very pleased that she was in such a good place in her final phase of life – and grateful for all the care she received.

Reply from Angie Ryan, Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeThank you Nigel for your lovely review. We were all very fond of Jean and miss her a lot. You are a lovely family and it has been a pleasure to get to know you over the years.

Following a hip replacement, I received very good care and support by friendly staff, some of whom went out of their way to be helpful.


I was impressed by the use made of limited outdoor space to provide paths and seating everywhere possible with pleasant planting.


Please could the lovely pictures

My Mother was extremely unwell in January this year and we all thought she would be unable to survive the situation she was in. However, due to the excellent, considerate and dedicated care she received from the carers, nurses, doctor and management, who were involved and responsible for her well being,
Mum was nursed back to health. Although Mum now requires nursing care for her personal needs, she achieved what we never thought was going to happen and reached her 100th Birthday in June.


For Mum’s 100th Birthday celebration the hospitality staff and the chefs provided a fantastic buffet party for 14 members of family and friends. Mum still talks about this being such a lovely day, with wonderful food, just perfect.


Thank you to everyone at The Cambridgeshire for the kindness, care and consideration you show to my Mother. Without you all, we would not have had our special memories of Mum’s happiness on her 100th Birthday.

Reply from Angie Ryan, Manager at The Cambridgeshire Care HomeWe are very pleased that your mum was our first resident to reach 100! Thank you, Jo, for your very kind review – it is much appreciated by us all.

My mother moved to TCCH at the age of 92 with a terminal condition. The trauma of moving from a family home after 70 plus years was almost worse for my mother than her disease. However, all the staff handled the transition with great sensitivity and understanding.
Although my mother died 10 weeks after
her admission, we could not have been happier with the quality of care provided by the staff who showed superb levels of expertise, professionalism and empathy.
Equally, the level of family support was really appreciated. The quality of the facilities and catering services was also faultless.

I visited my old family friend at the Cambridgeshire Care Home whilst she stayed for two weeks respite. She was clearly being very well looked after and was enjoying being fussed over. Her room was lovely, overlooking the garden with its own balcony. We had lunch and a glass of wine together in the
bistro which was excellent and then, as it was such a nice day, we stayed for tea and scones in the garden. I hope she goes back again soon so we can also return.

This home is a very pleasant place to live. The staff are plentiful, friendly and caring. The rooms are well furnished and comfortable, all built around a lovely garden for the residents to enjoy. There are interesting and varied activities and plenty of room and refreshments for visitors. The home
is not beyond making the odd mistake but I think it is as near perfect as it can get.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.828 for The Cambridgeshire Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (391 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 466 Ratings = 4.828
  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 40 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 40 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.
