Finding the right care home in Cambridge

Choosing a care home for a loved one can be difficult, however with 32 care homes in Cambridge, of which 17 offer specialist dementia care, there should be something perfect for your loved one. Here are a few of our top tips to help you narrow your options and find the right care home.

Location is key

Not being able to regularly see friends and family is a common worry of people moving into a care home, so take time to consider where visitors will be coming from and ensure the home you select has good transport links. As Cambridge is not a large city, within a 10min drive from the city center you could choose from a centrally located home like Winston House which is opposite the Coventry Botanic Gardens, or venture out of the city to Symonds House which is surrounded by beautiful countryside in a small village called Linton. Cambridge offers lots of options to find the perfect home for your loved one.

Feeling at home

As well as thinking about how friends and family will visit, or where in Cambridge your loved one will feel most at home, it is important to consider their lifestyle and what would help make them feel most at home. Below are a few things to consider that will help make this change as smooth as possible for your loved one:

Gardens and outdoor spaces

Cambridge is known for having some lovely warm summers. Does your loved one like nothing more than being able to sit outside and bask in the heat, or do they prefer to stay indoors where it is cool? Understanding how important having an outdoor space is to your loved one should help you narrow down your options. Some care homes in Cambridge have little outdoor space, whilst others like Hilton Park Care Centre have extensive grounds offering residents a countryside feeling where they are able to help garden or even tend to the chickens.

Pets welcome

The UK is known for their love of pets and Cambridge is no different. It can be worrying when moving into a care home and having to leave you pets behind, however did you know that some care homes in Cambridge will let you move your pet in also? Many others allow pets to visit residents frequently, and others like Cottenham Court Care Home, offer their residents frequent pet therapy visits. So if pets are important to your loved one, make sure you ask care homes about their pet policy.

Activities and days out

It is important for residents to remain active when they move into a care home, and therefore most will offer a wide range of facilities such as cafes, on-site hair salons, music rooms and quiet spaces for relaxing. In Cambridge many homes also try to offer residents days out to places like Kettle's Yard, Grantchester or even to the local bar - when possible of course! Care homes are generally very accommodating so if there is something your loved one likes to do, ensure you ask if it would be possible when staying at the home.
