Hello, I’m Nicki
Welcome to The Orchards, the top not-for-profit care home in Ely, Cambridgeshire.
As a Family Liaison Manager, I work with families like yours every day, and know that choosing a care home can feel, well, a bit scary.
That’s why, for over 25 years, at Greensleeves Care, we have worked to make moving into care, whether for long-term or a respite stay, feel less daunting. I’m excited to show you what The Orchards in Ely has to offer.
It all starts with our 6-week no-obligation trial. Whether you’re exploring long-term care or considering respite care for an elderly loved one, this allows you to try it out before committing longer term. Our approach to care means you get skill with a smile, a nice cup of tea before you even realise you want one, and a joke when you need it. We think that’s all part of good caring.
Being a charity means our focus is on people, not pockets. And with our unique Home for Life Commitment, you’ll never be asked to leave if your funds run out. Because that’s part of good caring too.
Whether you need 24/7 specialist residential care, expert dementia care, or short-term respite care near you, when you join The Orchards family in Ely, you enjoy:
- Peace of mind with Home for Life
- 6-week no-obligation trial
- Tranquil location by the Cambridgeshire countryside
- Beautiful, ample bedrooms with en suite wetrooms
- Comfortable lounges, library and cinema
- Bistro area and private dining room to entertain visitors
- A carefully curated programme of activities
- Delicious meals cooked daily on site
We are here to answer all your questions and help you make a confident care decision. Give us a call today to discuss your needs or plan your visit. We can’t wait to show you around.
Kind Regards,
Nicki Mitchell
Family Liaison Manager
