Symonds House

Symonds house is a nursing home located in Linton – a village situated in the Cambridgeshire countryside. Surrounded by the beautiful countryside, residents are also able to stay connected to the City of Cambridge as it’s only 10 minutes away. The house, is a lovely 55-bedded red brick Grade II listed building that is situated within it’s own grounds.

We are able to cater to a wide range of care categories such as old age, Dementia, Cancer Care, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease and more. Our care includes both residential and nursing care and is available to our residents 24 hours around the clock from our team of highly trained carers and nurses. Our aim first and foremost, is not only to make sure that all our residents receive the specialist care they require and deserve, but also to make sure they all feel at home. That is why we strive to be as flexible and accommodating as possible when it comes to the preferences of our residents.
