Home Close can be found in a tranquil setting on the edge of Cambridge yet convenient for the A14 and is served by good public transport links. The property is located in its own spacious landscaped grounds and is bordered by many mature trees, creating a private peaceful environment. As well as the extensive lawns, there are many shrub and flower borders which continually change with the seasons, providing interest to residents and visitors alike. A lovely retreat to enjoy tea in good weather.

The home offers nursing care, and residential care. The bright, welcoming purpose built accommodation is laid out over two floors with eight wings which are named after local villages, Grantchester, Teversham, Horningsea, Barrington, Wandlebury, Madingley, Dry Drayton and Cherry Hinton. A lounge and dining areas as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities are available in each wing. Bedrooms are light and airy bedrooms, well furnished and are decorated to a high standard, however, residents are encouraged to bring items of their own furniture and possessions with them so that their room can become truly their own.

Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills, but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. Staff are available constantly and provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.

Residents are regularly assessed to ensure their needs are met. Appointments can be arranged with a visiting optician, dentist, and chiropodist. An in-house hairdressing salon provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages. Catering staff provide delicious meals and snacks throughout the day, with special diets being catered for.

From the manager

“Sujamole has three decades of experience working in health and care. Having qualified as a nurse in 1992, she became a neurological nurse specialist and worked her way up to the role of ward sister before moving into nursing in care home settings in 2010. “My focus as Home Manager at Home Close is firmly on making sure my team is able to deliver great care and to ensure every resident is well looked after.””
