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. ?
Buchan House Care Home is a 66-bed nursing home in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, run by Buchan Healthcare Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people and people with dementia. Most homes in Cambridgeshire are smaller: the median there is 35 beds.
In March 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in August 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cambridgeshire, 64% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Cambridgeshire, 92% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
