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. ?
The home changed owner in December 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?

Langdon House is one of 132 care homes in Cambridgeshire: a 52-bed nursing home in Cambridge, run by Athena Care Homes (Chesterton) Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
The current CQC rating is Good, published in April 2020. It was Good for safe, effective, responsive and well-led as well. Caring was rated Outstanding. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. Its rating before that, in September 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cambridgeshire, 64% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
6 other homes in Cambridgeshire share its tier, “Good, with Outstanding areas”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. That is true of 88% of homes in Cambridgeshire. The home changed owner in December 2025. None of the 5 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
