  • Florence House Care Home, Peterborough
Florence House was taken over by new management in 2022. The same mother and daughter team run a very small 9 bedded care home in Glinton, called Garden Lodge and The Laurels in Market Deeping.

They believe that it is small care homes like Garden Lodge and Florence House that are able to provide the best person-centred care, really making sure that the residents feel a sense of importance in the home and building strong relationships with other residents and staff. Florence House is an extremely sociable home with lots of positive energy. The home has maintained it's Christian ethos and has many volunteers coming in to do services and spend time with the residents.

My brother has recently moved in to Florence House. He has continued to make good progress in his personal care which had not been the case before. The staff have been fantastic in seeing to his needs and taking him for walks in the nearby park. He is eating and sleeping well and enjoying the company
of the other residents - he joins in their activities. Overall excellent care.

My aunt spent 2 weeks in Florence House for respite care. I was very pleased with the level of care she received whist there. The staff were extremely caring and compassionate, making her feel very welcome from the outset. The place is very clean and well maintained with a bright and airy feel about
it. The large garden provides a good outdoor facility during nice weather. The food looked to be nutritious and well presented, and the residents seemed very happy. The rooms are exceptionally clean and homely, with plenty of space. The lounge and dining areas are also spacious and nicely decorated again giving a homely feel. Overall my aunt had a very positive stay and is looking forward to a return visit in September.

Mum went to Florence House for respite after a hospital stint but loved it so much she has decided to stay. The home is just like a home. All the residents are very chatty and they have a very lively activities lady who does a lot for the residents . The manager came to see my Mum in hospital as she
was very anxious before going in but now she says it's was the best decision she ever made. Would definitely recommend Florence House to anyone.

My family and I had a great experience with Florence House Care Home. They looked after my aunty very well, ensuring they were completely comfortable and happy. All the staff were extremely caring and compassionate to their needs. I would certainly recommend Florence House to any other family members,
friends or associates for the purposes of an elderly care home service.

Mum moved to Florence House after failing to settle at a much larger, more modern home. She initially struggled with the move. I was very impressed with how quickly the manager was able to get mum the necessary medical help. This enabled mum to finally get a dementia diagnosis, instead of having to
wait months for the memory clinic. She is now receiving the correct treatment. We have found the staff caring and very hard working. It is a small, welcoming home. Communication is pretty good, something we struggled with at the last home.
I know mum may never settle completely, but I now feel much more confident that she is well looked after and that if I have any concerns, they will be acted upon immediately.

My mother went into Florence House in May 2024. I had already been told great things about Florence House which is why I chose to look around for my mum.
The care home has a lovely warm atmosphere. The lounge area is very homely.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble.
I asked my Mum, have I done the right thing in choosing Florence House for you? She said definitely! She has a lovely room that is always clean, which she can go to at any time if she wants to, but mum spends most of her time in the lounge with the other residents. I have peace of mind that my mum has around-the-clock care. Would I recommend Florence House to anyone else? Yes, I would!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family have found Florence House to be outstandingly caring and personal in their approach as they care for my frail 89-year-old mother who has dementia.
The home is small enough to feel like a family and the environment is homely, relaxed and spotlessly clean. I find the manager to be a deeply
caring and sensitive person who understands that inside each elderly and unwell person is an individual who still wants recognition for who they were/are.
The staff are cheerful, helpful, friendly and very flexible, and also very capable and knowledgeable in a care context.
There is an attractive enclosed garden.
The home has a good relationship with a local GP practice which means that any medical care is delivered promptly and appropriately.
It was a huge decision to introduce my mother to care and I researched carefully what would be best for her and her vascular dementia. Small, personal, caring and responsive was what I wanted and Florence House has delivered this exceptionally

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle of 93 years of age became a resident at Florence House in April 2023. It was a huge change for him as although he was born and raised in Peterborough he had been living in a village in Argyll, Scotland for the previous 35 years. He has quite severe mobility problems and short term memory loss
due to dementia.
He agreed to the move back to Peterborough to be closer to family as he has 4 nieces and a nephew living here that would be able to visit. Florence House was the home of choice as it has a good reputation for providing excellent care within a homely environment, it also has a Christian basis and offers Sunday morning services and my Uncle's Christian faith is important to him.
My uncle has settled very well and is quite content, he likes the staff, the Sunday services and the food (he has a good appetite). He also enjoys visits from the family who are always made very welcome by the staff. We all feel it was a good decision that he moved into Florence House.

My dad became a resident as of December 22 due to his Dementia.
Sadly he died in February.
His care was second to none and his last few months of life was made all the more enjoyable and bearable due to the great care he was given.
Thank you to the manager and the great team at Florence House.

From the moment my ninety-two year old dad moved into Florence House he was made to feel welcome and all staff made an effort to get to know and help him understand things that he found difficult due to his dementia and the recent loss of his wife. When he had a stroke they acted quickly and professionally,
getting him the medical care he needed so that he was transferred to hospital within an hour. As a family we were welcomed whatever time we visited and also felt like part of the Florence House family. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Florence House has come through a change of management and ownership in the last couple of months During this time, it's been great to see the level of care and service maintained at its high level.
The home manager and her team are so friendly and welcoming to family and visitors when we call to
see dad. And we feel at ease because my dad is "at home" and looked after very well.
Thank you all for what you do.

Florence House is small and friendly with a homely atmosphere. There is a strong Christian presence that is valued greatly by residents, their families and friends. Staff are caring and understanding and well-behaved dogs are welcome to visit providing comfort to residents. The staff carefully accommodate
residents' individual needs and preferences and everyone is made to feel valued and special.

My 97-year-old mum moved into Florence House in October, following a stroke, after living completely independently. She was very reluctant to accept that she could not live in her own home anymore, but the staff and particularly the manager, made her feel so welcome and cared for, that she settled into
her new home quickly. All of the staff are very caring and there is a true family feel to the home.


Since moving to Florence House, mum's mobility and her general well being have improved considerably, mainly down to the ethos of the home being one of maximising resident's potential. Mum is a very sociable person and loves spending time talking to other residents and reminiscing about their lives. I am reassured that mum is safe and loved and would certainly recommend this home to anyone looking for care for a relative.

Florence House accepted my mum without question at short notice. All of the staff are caring, thoughtful and understanding. Just knowing she is being well cared for in every respect has put my mind at ease ( I live in Manchester). Whenever we have visited they have been welcoming. I would like to congratulate
the manager and her team on providing outstanding care. My mum loves it there, she feels safe and secure. Mum is a really sociable woman and the staff at Florence House do everything they can to encourage social interaction. I could go on but I’m running out of space?

My Dad has been at Florence House for nearly a year and a half, a period of time that has been punctuated by the Covid Pandemic. Despite only being able to visit him once for a well-planned garden visit I am so pleased to be able to say how impressed I am with the Christian care he has received. My
brother has been the nominated visitor and has regularly taken pictures depicting a very happy Dad! Prior to coming to Florence House Dad was at another Peterborough care home which was not so well geared up to deal with him. He had a couple of minor falls which meant that he had to be taken to Peterborough Hospital to be checked over and during these hospital stays he showed signs of deterioration because hospitals don't have the time or resources to devote to an older person's needs the way Florence House does. Moving to Florence House has not only reversed his deterioration but has helped him to flourish. I cannot imagine life without Florence House... Thanks so much.

Florence House was my mother’s home for the last 3 years of her life during which time she was treated with dignity and respect. She thought of the staff at Florence House as members of her extended family and was loved and valued by them as such. We are truly thankful for the staff at Florence House
for giving our mother such a secure and happy environment for her final years.

I felt confident that mum was looked after and cared for when I was not around which due to Covid was the last 10 months of her life. I was kept informed on how she was and if she needed anything. The staff went above the call of duty to look after her and were very sympathetic towards us her family

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.669)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.669) out of 10 for Florence House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.769 for Florence House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 104 Ratings = 4.769
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Florence House Care Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
