Residential Care – Hill View

Originally built as a farmer’s bungalow, Hill View was expanded and converted into use as a care home in 1995. The neighbouring farmyard and grazing hillsides which give Hill View its name offer views for our residents and families, creating natural scenery very much in-keeping with the rural feel of our home.

Hill View has 16 single ground floor rooms many of which have recently been redecorated to have a bright and fresh feel, following a large scale renovation project. As with Olivemede, the rooms we offer are fully furnished but residents are welcome to bring their own belongings with them.

At the front of the building is a bright and welcoming communal lounge built in a semi-circular shape, promoting resident interaction and offering the perfect space for entertainments and guests. In addition to inviting various groups to the home residents are encouraged to join trips to local events and activities.

Towards the rear of our home is mature garden for residents and families.  We strongly recommend Hill View to those looking for a relaxing, tranquil home surrounded by the rustic appeal of the English countryside.

Short stays are available to sample life at our home.

During our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission, Hill View was rated as overall Requires improvement.

Following a difficult inspection way back in December 2022, we have completed all the changes required of us. We were told when we completed all the changes required we would be rated again in three months. Two and a half years later we are still waiting and all other inspection bodies agree that the rating no longer reflects our home. We look forward to the next CQC inspection to get a rating that is more reflective of our service. Rooms are available from £900 a week or £129/day.

Since the last inspection by CQC in December 2022 we have been rated as GOOD by Cambridgeshire County Council, and given 5 * for Food Hygiene.
