Meet The Manager
Razvan Stanbeca is Home Manager at Heathlands House.
I have worked for Care UK previously and began working at Heathlands House in 2022.
I’ve seen the high standard of care for residents and great teams. Everyone is very committed to ensuring that every resident is happy and cared for.
My favourite part of the day is the mornings, when I walk around the home, checking everything is ok, and chatting to residents, relatives and my colleagues.
I am very passionate about delivering person-centered care, I love seeing a smile on the resident’s face when you have made a difference to their day. In my free time I enjoy spending time with family and friends.
Heathlands House care home offers a wide range of care for older people in luxurious surroundings, from residential and nursing care through to dementia care and short-term respite. Located in Cherry Hinton, Cambridge, the home provides support for your loved one to lead an independent and fulfilling life, while receiving the very best standard of care.
The home offers spacious and beautifully furnished bedrooms with private en-suite facilities, plus a range of modern and comfortable communal areas including a café – complete with a regular supply of delicious cakes – a hair salon and cinema room. The home, which has been designed to the latest dementia standards, also has beautifully landscaped gardens that are accessible for all.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.
| What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Since the early stages of the pandemic, our teams have been working to a pandemic plan which is updated regularly to reflect any changes to either UK or Scottish government guidance. This plan includes a range of measures aimed at both reducing the likelihood of new Covid-19 infections and reducing the spread of infections where they occur. |

| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |
|---|
|
Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant. Wireless Internet access (WiFi) Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms. Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”) Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.
