About Fitzwilliam House Care Home
Set among open fields, Fitzwilliam House Care Home is a small, cosy home for older people, with residential support and dementia care. The home encourages independence and meaningful daily routines, while its facilities and activities provide opportunities for social connection, engagement and quieter time.
The wider organisation also lists respite, nursing and end-of-life care, but the local home’s clearest character is its family atmosphere and manageable scale. It is designed around a small and cosy care home experience for residents who need structured support while remaining part of an active community.

Questions families ask
How much does Fitzwilliam House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Fitzwilliam House Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cambridgeshire council paid on average £993 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Fitzwilliam House Care Home whether it takes residents funded by Cambridgeshire council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
