About Etheldred House Care Home
Etheldred House Care Home is a nursing home in Histon, Cambridgeshire, with registered nurses on duty around the clock alongside our care team. We look after older people whose health needs require nursing, younger adults with nursing needs, people living with dementia, people with loss of sight or hearing, and people living with mental health conditions. The nursing covers management of long term conditions, wound and skin care, continence support, help where eating and swallowing have become difficult, and careful oversight of medication. We work closely with local GPs, district nurses, dietitians and therapists, and we involve families in decisions about treatment rather than presenting them with conclusions already reached. Alongside that we work at keeping the day from becoming clinical. The most valuable parts of a week here are usually the least medical: a visit from family, a conversation that runs on, a turn round the garden when the weather allows. For people living with dementia and for those with sensory loss we keep the routine steady and adapt how we communicate. Respite stays are available. Our most recent rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
