Primrose Hill Care home is a purpose-built Care Home in a residential area very close to the town centre in the historic town of Huntingdon well known as the birth place of Oliver Cromwell born in 1599. It is a market town in Cambridgeshire chartered by King John in 1205, which has excellent access to road, rail and bus links.
The Care Home is in the heart of the community set back from the road, with level access to the entrance and gardens. The surroundings are ideal for residents wishing to maintain a more independent lifestyle and enabling families to visit with ease.
We offer a range of care options in different areas from residential to palliative care. Residents’ needs may range across the board to include specialist areas as well as supporting those who may require care for dementia.
All residents enjoy a luxurious, comfortable environment with their own single bedrooms with en-suite shower facilities.
Primrose Hill is a true home for life allowing residents and their families the peace of mind where residents receive the professional care they need, and have a comfortable home they can call their own. Our residents are at the centre of everything we do.
