About Us

We at Cambridgeshire County Council 40/44 Russell Street are proud to offer specialist residential care in the heart of Cambridge, providing a warm and welcoming home for adults with a range of individual needs.

Nestled within a residential setting in Cambridge, our home benefits from the vibrant character of the city whilst offering a calm and homely atmosphere for those who live with us. The location allows residents to feel connected to the wider community, with easy access to local amenities, green spaces, and the everyday rhythms of city life that help our residents feel truly at home.

Our home specialises in supporting adults with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults, and we also offer respite care for families who need short term support. This means we take the time to truly understand each person who comes to live with us, recognising that no two individuals are the same. In practice, this involves working closely with residents and their loved ones to build personalised care plans that reflect individual preferences, routines, communication styles, and aspirations. Whether someone is joining us on a permanent basis or for a shorter respite stay, we aim to create an environment where they feel safe, valued, and empowered to live life on their own terms.

For families, our respite care offering can provide much needed reassurance and rest, knowing that their loved one is being cared for by a team dedicated to maintaining familiar routines and offering meaningful engagement. For younger adults, we focus on supporting independence, personal development, and social connection, helping each person to build confidence and pursue the interests that matter most to them.

We are proud that the Care Quality Commission has rated our home as Good overall, with ratings of Good across Safe, Effective, Caring, and Well led. Particularly meaningful to us is our Outstanding rating for being Responsive, which reflects the way we tailor our support to each individual and adapt to the changing needs of the people in our care. This recognition speaks to our commitment to person centred care and to genuinely listening to residents and their families, ensuring that the support we provide is always meaningful and appropriate.

If you are exploring care options for a loved one in Cambridge or the wider Cambridgeshire area, we warmly invite you to get in touch. Choosing the right home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the questions and concerns that come with it.
