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. ?
Run by Askham Village Community Limited, Askham House is a nursing home in March, Cambridgeshire with 30 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with mental health needs.
Its CQC rating, from August 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in June 2018, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 64% of ratings in Cambridgeshire are as old (how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 4 of Askham Village Community Limited’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Cambridgeshire. Across Cambridgeshire, 92% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
