Waterbeach Lodge is a stunning, purpose-built residential care home set in six acres of beautifully landscaped gardens with views over the surrounding countryside.

The original site was established in 1818, becoming a Convent for Nuns of the Carmelite Order in the early 1900’s. From the 1970s onwards the property has had various uses with many of the original buildings being left derelict. The estate was lovingly rebuilt, and the result is our impressive, modern and welcoming care home close to Cambridge, with a rich sense of history.

Waterbeach Lodge is conveniently located just off the A10 Ely Road in the village of Waterbeach on the edge of The Fens in South Cambridgeshire. Just six miles north of Cambridge city centre, the village also has a railway station with links to Cambridge and Ely. Waterbeach Lodge provides excellent access for families searching for a care home near Cambridge or in the wider Cambridgeshire area.
