Welcome
to Hunters Down
Our modern, purpose-built home is located on the outskirts of the market town of Huntingdon. It sits opposite the beautiful Riverside Park, Hartford. At Hunters Down, our friendly and experienced team support over 100 people to live a happy and fulfilled life, with lots of fun!
Nothing is too much trouble.
The facilities are excellent and the staff are brilliant.
As soon as I contacted the manager for assistance in finding somewhere for my cousin, she couldn't have been more helpful. Within a week, my cousin was out of hospital and settled in her new room. The facilities are excellent and the staff are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble. The activities are great with such a variety of things for them to do, and my cousin is happy and very comfortable in her new home.
I cannot thank you enough.
I was always made to feel welcome.
I cannot recommend Hunters Down highly enough. The care that my mum and dad both received was fantastic: all staff were attentive - both admin and medical staff: professional, friendly and respectful. My parents soon settled into care home life despite their illnesses. When visiting Mum and Dad, I was ALWAYS made to feel welcome. Everything was dealt with sensitively and with compassion - I cannot thank you enough.
Many thanks - our Mum is happy!
I can honestly say it's the best home I've ever been into.
Thank you for being such an amazing care home. Your staff are truly first class, nothing is too much trouble to make our Mum feel safe and to settle in. Having worked in care homes for 30 years, I can honestly say it's the best home I've ever been into.
The entertainment is excellent, excellent food, 5 stars. Many thanks - our Mum is happy!
