About Kay Hitch Way

Kay Hitch Way is a residential care home near Cambridge supporting a broad mix of people. We care for older people and we also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults. We support people living with eating disorders as well. That range works because our method stays consistent. We take time to learn how somebody communicates, what their day ought to contain and what tends to make a difficult one, and then we build support around that rather than fitting everybody into the same routine. Where a person can take on more for themselves, we make room for it instead of stepping in from habit. Life here belongs to the people who live in it. People get up when they are ready, keep their own things around them and spend their time on what genuinely interests them. Respite stays are available too, for people needing short term support and for families who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. The better test is whether people here look at ease. Visitors are welcome.
