I am 90 years of age, and have lived at Richard Newcombe Court for five years. I have a top floor two bedrooms flat overlooking a tree filled easterly facing courtyard. I came to live here mainly because of diminishing mobility problems. My personal facilities in the flat are excellent. It gives me
easy access, to all rooms. The whole flat is light, warm, and airy. I. Have access from my living room onto my personal balcony , which stretches the length of my flat, overlooks the garden , and I can sit out at a table to have tea etc..
The care staff are amazing. Well trained in all aspects of care , and dedicated to provide excellent support to the Tenants. Growing old can be challenging , and I feel that Richard Newcombe Court helps me meet the challenge to the best possible standard .

I have lived at Richard Newcombe Court for 18 months. The flats are really lovely and well adapted for wheelchair users and able bodied people. They are well maintained and very comfortable . The kitchens are small but manageable and are quite well equipped. There is lunch downstairs which is an
excellent way to meet others.
This flat has allowed me to feel comfortable and has given me the independence to go out into the city either on my electric wheelchair or by bus.
The management and staff from Cambridge Housing are outstanding (there is another national care provider here called Radis).
I cannot recommend the development more but you have to understand that this is housing with care so residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible.

Richard Newcombe Court is not being run as a care home in my opinion. I have been here as a resident for the last 4 months and I have had no heating! The independent care providers within the setting are rude and reluctant to help you. The food has deteriorated over the last 6 weeks and i have
thrown many meals in the bin. Someone should take responsibility for this place.
