Questions families ask
Can residents bring their pets?
Yes. Residents may bring pets, subject to an individual risk assessment. Admission can be refused if a pet presents risks to staff or residents, or if bringing it would harm the animal.
Can residents bring their own furniture and belongings?
Yes. Residents can bring belongings such as a bed, wardrobe or pictures to make their room feel more homely. The home provides fixtures and fittings, including a 32-inch LED TV.
How can residents get help at night?
They can use the call bells provided in every bedroom and at strategic points around the home. Staff keep them within reach, and regular overnight checks can also be arranged.
Can residents access the garden and outdoor areas?
Yes. Residents can use the outdoor facilities independently when their mobility allows, or with a carer's assistance. Gardening and other outdoor activities are available.
How much does Potton View cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Potton View 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.
