Our
Home
At Home Close we provide nursing care, residential care and a day
care centre. 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. Each wing contains lounge
and dining areas as well as kitchen and bathroom facilities. The light,
airy bedrooms are decorated to a high standard and exceptionally well
furnished, but we encourage our residents to bring items of their
own furniture and possessions with them so that their room can become
truly their own. Location
Home Close is in a quiet location on the outskirts of Cambridge yet
within easy reach of the A14 and served by good public transport links.
It is set within its own large landscaped grounds that are bordered
by many mature trees, creating a private peaceful environment. In
good weather, many of our residents like to walk in the grounds or
sit and take tea under the shade of spreading branches. 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. Care Staff
Our care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not
only for their skills, but also for their warmth, friendliness and
caring attitude. They are on hand around the clock to provide professional
care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.
Facilities
We regularly assess each resident so that we can be sure their needs
are met and supply specialised equipment if required. An optician,
dentist, and chiropodist visit by appointment, and the in-house hairdressing
salon provides all the usual services plus manicures and hand massages.
Our catering staff provide delicious meals and snacks throughout the
day, as well as special dishes for those with particular dietary requirements.
Activities
Home Close benefits from a purpose built Activity Centre where Residents
can take part in as many or as few activities as they like. Our activity
leaflet gives more information about what is on offer. Individual
Care
We strongly believe that no matter what level of care is required,
everyone deserves the same attention and has the same right to live
life to the full. We aim to make our residents’ lives enjoyable
and satisfying, enabling them to meet new friends and keep in touch
with existing ones. Family and friends are always welcome at Home
Close and we value their involvement in our resident’s care.
Above all, we promote individual choice in a caring environment that
is free from stress or worry.
A visit to Home Close to meet our staff and residents will give
you the opportunity to find out more and ask questions. Come and
see for yourself – we are happy to arrange a visit for you
– with your friends and family if you wish.
