About Glebe Farm

Glebe Farm is a nursing home in Cambridgeshire that provides personal and nursing care to adults with learning disabilities. Details of the most recent CQC inspection are set out below.

Glebe Farm provides personal and nursing care to nine people aged 18 and over with learning disabilities. At inspection, eight young men were living at the home. The service is arranged across three buildings surrounding an enclosed courtyard, with each person having their own one-bedroom flat with en-suite bathroom and living space.

Shared facilities include communal spaces within each building and a shared kitchen and dining room. Built in 2018, the home was designed in collaboration with the local authority to meet the needs of people with complex needs, though the current capacity of nine residents is larger than recommended by best practice guidance.
