This place has to be one of the filthiest nursing homes I have ever had to spend two weeks of life in. The poor house keeper cleans all day she dry swept my then mopped every morning and then when I got to the filthy tiny bathroom I walked back to my and there was big dust balls and hair all over the tennis balls on my walker, the bathrooms are so outdated even a little kid would complain, the first thing I did when I saw the room I'd was to throw a fit and tell to find me another place to stay but they said they do that so they're money from my insurance for the miserable two weeks I have had to spend in my life.

A few weeks ago, Buddy and his team at Cambridge Care Center went above and beyond to help us with a last-minute hospice respite placement. They recognized the urgency of the situation and made it possible for us to support a family in crisis that very same afternoon. The staff worked seamlessly with our hospice team to ensure the patient received compassionate, quality care. We are truly grateful for their support and dedication.

My mom was was admitted here after her hospital stay for CHF. This place is a dump. The food literally made my mom physically sick so she stopped eating. The room had no air conditioning so when it was 97 degrees outside it was 85 in her room. They gave her some fans that looked like they'd been in storage for years and it sounded like that too! She has to use a walker and it couldn't fit in the bathroom with her safely. The mattress on the bed kept moving and exposing some metal edges that could be dangerous for someone that has to slide off the bed). She got some PT, OT a couple times but I don't know if it actually did anything for her. She was still weak and had to rest just getting to and from the bathroom. She would press the button for help but by the time they showed up she'd have an accident so I think she forced herself to get up. Luckily we were there daily and could help her. She was there for a week and a half and they gave her a shower once - the day it was so hot in her room. I don't know how insurance figured she was good to go other than PT saying she can get out of bed and get to the bathroom. She still needed help but I don't blame her for wanting out of this place! The location is very sketchy (I wouldn't want to be there at night) AND THERE IS NO PARKING! The staff was helpful sometimes but I really would NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE AT ALL! Once my mom was discharged and our advocate got involved they were a lot more helpful (we needed paperwork for her long-term care facility. We'll see how helpful they are with my mom's forms needed for some insurance claims....

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
