Alex Wood House is a residential care home in Cambridge, run by Athena Care Homes (Arbury) Limited. It has 36 registered beds and supports older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
CQC rated it Good overall in December 2019, and Good in all five key questions. This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. Across Cambridgeshire, 92% of the 123 rated care homes are Good or Outstanding. The rating is 6 years old. CQC decides when to re-inspect based on risk, so this isn't a mark against the home, but it's worth asking what has changed since.
