Cambridge is amazing. The entire team from the director (who actually physically helped us to move my mom in) to the caregivers are attentive and compassionate. Unfortunately, my mom got there too late, and by the time she received adequate care, she only had weeks left to live. I do find solace in knowing she was with a caring person who made all attempts to help her through the crisis. My mother was at Bethany (check out that review) before we were able to move her Cambridge. After months of being gaslit and abused at Bethany, Cambridge was a breath of fresh air. They surpassed every single expectation we had for a facility caring for our incredibly special person. 6 months after my mother's passing, Cambridge invited us to a butterfly release with all the families that had lost a loved one that year. I found this to be extremely therapeutic. They named every single person and once again demonstrated their humanity. I have been grateful every single day since my mom died that this was where she met her end. She was surrounded by people who treated her with dignity, respect, compassion, and kindness. Thank you, Cambridge Manor.
