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 June 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Waythrough runs Winston House, a residential care home in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire with room for 25 residents. CQC registers it to look after younger adults and people with mental health needs.
3 of Waythrough’s 4 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Waythrough has run the home since June 2024, when it changed owner. 89 other homes in Cambridgeshire share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from June 2025. 88% of homes in Cambridgeshire also score 5.
In March 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Cambridgeshire, 64% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
