About
Bayleaf Care Home is a purpose-built care home in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, with 53 registered beds. It provides residential care, dementia care and short-term respite stays, with long-term residents and those seeking a break from their usual routine both welcomed. A dedicated area, Memory Lane, supports people living with dementia, and residents there are offered activities intended to help them keep life skills, interaction and a sense of purpose.
The home's facilities include a café, several dining rooms, a cinema and a spa bathroom on each floor. Daily virtual and live activities are available, which residents may join as much or as little as they choose. Meals are prepared on-site by trained chefs, who can cater for special dietary needs.
