Day Programme
Our Day Programme is currently on hold due to Covid-19 restrictions, and we look forward to being able to offer the programme again when the Covid situation allows.
Care Centre & Continuing Care
There are two care centres in the Cambridge Resthaven family - one is at Cambridge Resthaven in Vogel Street and the other at Resthaven on Burns.
Our Key Worker personalised approach
At the cornerstone of our care is a personalised approach aimed at providing the best support and care for the ladies and gentlemen who have chosen to live at Resthaven.
Each resident has their own "Key Worker" – a staff member who is the cornerstone of the service provided to that resident. The key worker gets to know the resident and their family well, and is responsible for coordinating care and services in a manner that is most beneficial for the resident.
Forming these relationships builds a great sense of community among the residents and their families, our staff and the doctors.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to encourage and support residents to remain as independent as they can. We take care of all meals, laundry and cleaning, but if residents would like to do any cooking or baking, wash their own clothes or do their own cleaning, they will be supported by staff to do this.
Cambridge Resthaven - in Vogel Street

The majority of rooms have a courtyard or a view of the Cambridge greenbelt. 56 rooms can be used for either resthome or continuing care level, which means being able to stay in the same room if care requirements change.
