Ford Place

The care shown by Ford Place was outstanding for our family. All the staff, carers, management, gardeners and cleaners were equally friendly and courteous to our dad. The food was a very high standard as was the cleanliness. The activity staff also made the home a pleasant place. Thank you.

My father arrived at Ford Place over a year ago after suffering a stroke. He was a very poorly 94 years young. The care Dad received was well above standard. Every single member of staff united together to make this a lovely, caring environment. Everyone took lots of time to chat to Dad even if just passing by his room. Thanks to these wonderful people who run and work there we have had over an extra year with Dad. He celebrated his 95th birthday in November last year. The care and compassion he was given at the end was lovingly and skillfully given. Our family have always been involved in Dad's care and treated with respect and great care at all times. Having spent lots of evenings and some nights there I got to meet the night staff and what a pleasure this was. I thank you and everybody from the bottom of my heart. To me, you are truly all 'Dad's Angels'.

A very good nursing home. My father had a lovely en-suite room with views over the superb gardens and grounds. All staff that I met were very kind and helpful. A well run and managed home.

Such a lovely environment for my mum to spend her last days. All the staff have been very caring throughout. I can't thank them enough.

All my needs are met and the staff are kind and caring.

After my mum spent 2 weeks in hospital mum went to Ford Place Nursing Home for respite. She improved greatly and the staff were so kind to her and us. Many thanks to you all.

A wonderful care home with kind and attentive staff and excellent nursing care. A safe caring environment where nothing is too much trouble. I have been delighted with mums care. Very professional and very friendly staff. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ford Place.

My wife hardly ate and did not take part in any activities so my comments on these items are by observation of others.

My mother arrived in Ford Place in August after 2 months in hospital and unfortunately passed away in September. A much shorter stay than we expected but she was so well cared for by all the staff and treated wonderfully. As a family we could not be happier with Ford Place.

My mother and my stepfather moved into Ford Place in January. Sadly my mother died in March and her husband this month. They enjoyed a large high-ceiled double room, most of the other homes we looked at were not really set up to welcome couples. The common rooms are spacious and light, looking out to a lovely garden going down to the river. Although the home is near the centre of Thetford it feels as if you are in the country. All the staff came across as cheerful and happy in their work. The palitive care my stepfather received in his last days was kind and professional. Overall outstanding. I am thinking of putting my name down for 2038!

Ford Place is a well-run home, professional but friendly. My mother felt safe there and felt it was her home.

This care home is by far the best in this area, it is like staying in a hotel, extremely friendly and professional staff. The facilities are excellent, surrounding grounds well kept. I cannot 'sin the praises' highly enough. I would like to stay again sometime. My greatest thanks to everyone that helped and assisted me during my stay.

In her final hours Mum was looked after wonderfully and with their 24-hour nursing care, they made sure she was never alone. The entire team also showed great compassion and support to me on my final visit, enabling me to complete all the practical matters with ease. At Ford Place, I witnessed genuine kindness, yet there is much hard work and absolute professionalism too.

Everyone was very loving, caring and helpful ar a difficult time coming out of the hospital.

Always plenty of staff on duty and very helpful. Room and bathroom always clean and tidy. Mother-in-law seems happy and well cared for.

Very sadly, I experienced the sudden unexpected death of my eldest son. All staff (Carers, Nurses, cleaning ladies) were very kind and understanding.

I arrived at this slightly faded but still elegant country house to a very warm welcome. New buildings blend in with old. All the staff here greet you every day with a smile. Proficiency is evident when needed. A 24-hour medical presence is reassuring. Home cooking with fresh food, what a pleasant change from the plastic containers in the microwave. Weekly/daily entertainment for residents is provided. The garden is a true delight. I recommend my home to anyone, after all, it did win an outstanding award. Truly deserved.

I wish to thank everybody at Ford for all they do, often in highly difficult circumstances with elderly, ill and frail people.

My mum was at Ford Place Nursing Home for 9 weeks receiving end of life care. I cannot praise the nursing staff enough for keeping her pain free. All the staff were friendly, helpful and very caring. I highly recommend this Nursing Home.

I was expecting them to take Mum out through the back door, as what happened to my nan elsewhere. However at Ford Place, every single member of staff came and lined up to say goodbye to Mum and she was taken out the front doors, just as she came in. It really touched us how they did this and I can't thank the staff enough for giving us this wonderful memory. Mum was given so much respect that day and that will stay with me forever.
