About Townsend Manor
Townsend Manor provides residential, nursing and dementia care for older people and adults with physical disabilities, mental health needs or sensory impairment. The home is also registered to support younger adults, making its care scope broader than a standard older people’s residence.
Residents can use communal lounges, dining areas and activity spaces, while the home’s care approach is built around individual routines, dignity and family involvement. Townsend Manor is part of a wider care group whose services include respite, palliative and end-of-life care, although the local service should be assessed according to each resident’s needs.

Questions families ask
How much does Townsend Manor cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Townsend Manor for its weekly fee. As a guide, Cambridgeshire council paid on average £1,128 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 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 Townsend Manor 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). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
