Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 1 exceptional, 2 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Athena Care Homes (March) Limited runs Aria Court, a nursing home in March, Cambridgeshire with room for 92 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Cambridgeshire, where the typical home has 35 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in June 2026. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2018. Ratings in Cambridgeshire are typically about 7 years old, which makes this one newer than most. 2 of its 33 scored standards were below good, including “involving people to manage risks”.
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in April 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Cambridgeshire. 89 other homes in Cambridgeshire share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
