Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, despite being physically frail had remained independent, living at home alone at age 100 +. However, a fall forced her to accept a change was required. We viewed several care homes but found the welcome at Thorpe Wood exceptional. The home is light and airy, windows on all sides looking onto
gardens and trees. Large rooms allow a resident to personalise with items from home. Every member of staff smiles, greets you warmly and help and advice is never a problem.
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeThank you so much for your wonderful review Helen and for taking the time to share your experience with Thorpe Wood.

We understand how difficult it can be to make the decision to move into care, especially after your mother had maintained such incredible independence for over 100 years. It means a great deal to know that you and your family felt welcomed and supported during this transition.

Your kind words about our home environment and, most importantly, our team are truly appreciated. We are very proud of the warm, caring atmosphere we strive to create, and it is lovely to hear that this shone through during your visits.

Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. It is a privilege to care for your mother and support your family.

My sister and I viewed other care homes in Peterborough and found Thorpe Wood to be the best for our dear mum, as her dementia meant she could no longer live safely in her own home. We did have to wait a few weeks for a room with a garden view. The room was spacious and we were able to bring some
of mum's furniture. In the 18 months mum lived in the home there was very little attrition, which shows happy, well looked after staff. Mum was treated with care and compassion they would go out of their to include mum in the daily activities and group events. We were able to request the food mum liked. When mum was unwell the same doctor used to visit which for someone with dementia, this is very beneficial. When mum was end of life, we didn't want her to go to hospital, we were able to stay with her in her room and she had a very dignified passing the nursing care was outstanding. Thoroughly recommend this care home.
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeThank you so much for your beautiful and heartfelt review.
We feel truly honoured that you chose Thorpe Wood for your mum's care, and we're so pleased she felt safe, comfortable, and at home with us. It's wonderful to hear that both her environment and the activities helped enrich her time here.
Your kind words about our team mean a great deal. We are incredibly proud of their compassion, consistency, and dedication to every resident.
We're especially grateful you shared your experience during your mum's final days. It was a privilege to support her-and you-during such an important time, ensuring she was surrounded by comfort and dignity.
Thank you again for your trust and recommendation. You will always be warmly welcomed at Thorpe Wood.

An excellent care home which is first class in so many ways. From the moment you walk in through the door, you can feel the atmosphere is fresh and see the decor is well maintained. The staff are ever friendly and ever caring. The lady in charge of entertainment is a gem; I cannot speak too highly of
it.

Considering mum didn't have a good time in her last 2 care homes, staff soon won mum round, gaining their trust. Mum paid after 6 weeks 'it's nice here'. Mum always looked clean, hair brushed and styled and her clothes colour matches, which was nice to see. Staff always greeted us with a smile and wave,
made us feel very welcome and like family. Would make us a drink, have a chat, laugh, and joke. Entertainment and activities was absolutely brilliant the resident's family could get involved too. Would certainly recommend Thorpe Wood Care, the team did a fantastic job looking after mum. Well done to all.
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeThank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and heartfelt review - it truly means the world to us.
On behalf of everyone at Thorpe Wood Care Home, we're so pleased to hear that your mum was able to settle in and feel happy with us, especially after her previous experiences. Hearing her say "it's nice here" is exactly the kind of reassurance we hope every family can feel.
We're delighted that you noticed the little details - from your mum's appearance and personal care to the warm, welcoming atmosphere from our team. Creating a space where residents feel comfortable and families feel like part of our extended community is at the heart of what we do. It's also lovely to know you enjoyed the activities and were able to join in - those shared moments are so special.
Your recommendation and kind words will mean so much to the whole team. Thank you again for your trust and support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a stressful experience at a different care home, we moved Mum to Thorpe Wood in February 2026.
The family were anxious to know how Mum would settle in her new home, but we did not have any need to be worried.
Ever since day one, Mum has been treated with kindness, dignity, respect, love and
attention.
Mum is attended to whenever we ask for assistance, she is socialised with other residents, she is taken to activities, her personal care is exemplary, and since losing a lot of weight, the staff have been attentive to her needs with food and have designed menus suitable for her.
I cannot speak highly enough of every single carer. They are all so lovely, and nothing is ever too much trouble.
The nurses and management are also very friendly and approachable.
We no longer worry about leaving Mum, as she is very well loved and cared for her in new home.
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeJo, thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt review.
We know how difficult moving a loved one can be, especially after a challenging experience, so we're truly pleased to hear your mum has settled in so well at Thorpe Wood and that you now feel reassured.
It's wonderful to know she is being cared for with kindness, dignity, and attention, and that she's enjoying activities and personalised support. Your lovely comments about our carers, nurses, and management team mean a great deal to us all.
Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care-it's a privilege to support her.

My husband has been resident at Thorpe Wood Care Home from 7/7/2022 - 16/1/26. All staff have given my late husband respect regarding his wishes not to participate in activities or join other residents for meals. They organised suitable meals to eat in his room and helped him into and out of transport
for outings. Cleaning staff have worked around him respectively. Nursing staff ensured he had his medications on time and all staff did their best to encourage him. Thank you Thorpe Wood!
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeOn behalf of everyone at Thorpe Wood Care Home, we want to say how privileged we feel to have cared for your husband during his time with us. It means a great deal to hear that his wishes were respected and that he was supported in a way that honoured his independence and personal preferences.
Ensuring residents feel heard - whether that's choosing to dine privately, deciding not to join activities, or simply wanting quiet time - is so important to us. We're pleased that our team could accommodate his meal preferences, assist him with outings, and provide consistent nursing care with dignity and compassion. Your recognition of our housekeeping and care teams' thoughtfulness will truly touch them.
Thank you for placing your trust in us over the years. Please know that your husband will always be remembered warmly by the team, and we are deeply grateful for your appreciation and support.

Our mum came to Thorpe Wood care home in 2025, following a fall at home and a hospital stay, where it was decided her needs could no longer be met at home. She was welcomed at Thorpe Wood with open arms - hugged, and gently guided to her new room. The care since that day has been wonderful, and as a
family we have been kept up to date and involved. Mum enjoys the daily activities which range from watercolour painting to listening to singers and pianists. She particularly loves the gardens, with the fish pond and sheltered gazebo so she can be outside even when the weather isn't great. The staff understand mum's needs and look after her well. We are so glad that mum has found her new home at Thorpe Wood during what is a difficult time of her life.
Reply from Natasha Gwyther, Head of Marketing & Communications at Thorpe Wood Care HomeThank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your mum's journey with us at Thorpe Wood care home.

We chose Thorpe Wood care home for our mother just over a year ago.


We are so pleased we made the right choice for our Mum who has Alzheimers.


The home is modern purpose built, beautifully decorated and very clean. Staff are excellent and her care needs are catered for extremely well.


The activities

are excellent and our Mum has really benefitted from the stimulation from the entertainment - she loves the piano sing alongs, weekly disco and monthly church service. Organised events for family have also been great for us all to participate in.


The level of detail in the care reports is excellent and shows the extent of their knowledge of the residents and care provided.


Our Mum is has improved with regard to her diet, sleep, hydration and routine medication and is so much happier and less anxious since moving in. We can now have much better conversations with her as she feels secure and cared for.


We would certainly recommend Thorpe Wood to other families.

My mother has been a resident at Thorpe Wood care home since July 2023.
It is a modern well appointed home with excellent facilities for the residents.
My mother has dementia and multiple sclerosis which means looking after her is extremely challenging. This is where the homes best asset , its staff,
come into their own. Nothing is too much trouble, and the level of attention and support given to my mother has been above and beyond my expectations.
From my mother's perspective ,she enjoys the food and menu options which are varied and cooked on the premises. Her room is kept extremely clean and tidy. Activities are varied and there is always something going on which keeps the mood and energy levels up.
I can say nothing but positive things about the home ,and its staff ,and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody whose loved one needs to be in residential care.

My Father has been a resident of Thorpe Wood Care Home since April. As a family, we couldn't be happier with the level of care Dad is receiving. All the care and nursing staff are fabulous, nothing is ever too much trouble, and we feel secure in the knowledge that Dad is safe and well looked after.
The Activities Coordinator does an outstanding job in lifting the spirits of the residents, staff and families, with the likes of arts and crafts, discos, quizzes, bingo, piano singalongs, etc. I absolutely love visiting TWCH, engaging with the activities and seeing all the staff, residents and families that have now become familiar faces. It is clear that TWCH is more than just a care home, it is also a community, and everyone is made to feel welcome. The layout of the building, and its facilities, are extremely well thought out, and the garden area is picturesque, relaxing and calming. All indications are that the change of ownership to Fortava is proving to be an extremely positive one.

We're delighted to hear how well your father is settling in at Thorpe Wood, and it means a great deal to us that the positive changes brought in since Fortava's involvement are being seen and felt. Creating a safe, supportive and uplifting environment is exactly what we aim for.

My late mum was a resident from Dec 2023 until she passed away in July 2025. During her time there she was treated with respect and dignity. Mum was never one to join in much with activities but was always encouraged to do so by the lovely staff. She enjoyed watching others and the staff would sit and
chat to her. She made many friends whilst a resident. When mum was in her final days of life the staff looked after her needs and kept her comfortable and out of pain. My sister and I slept in her room and the new owners purchased fold up guest beds for us. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend Thorpe Wood to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one. The ownership changed just before mum passed away but the initial signs were that Fortava were going to continue the good work.

Review from Chris H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall I would highly recommend Thorpe Wood Care Home.
My family looked at other care homes and unanimously agreed this was the best choice.
The garden is beautiful with nice features. The lounges were smaller individual areas within a larger overall space making it more personal at times.
Nice
touches for the relatives too with a gift basket in the room at the end of life containing water, biscuits, crisps etc. Very thoughtful.
Bedrooms are a very good size and work well with visitors. Plenty of room for personal items to be taken in and memory boxes on the wall are a lovely idea.
Most of all, the staff were outstanding all of which contributes to a reassurance that relatives are being well looked after.
Not only was it emotional to lose our mum but we miss the superb team that cared for her.

Review from Fran M (Sister of Resident) published on 21 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend Thorpe Wood Care Home. While the cleanliness is good, the quality of the food excellent, the activities varied and expertly given, what really sets it apart is the quality of all the team. Everyone is exceptional - the chefs, the cleaners, the activities coordinators, the admin team,
the care and nursing teams. All staff showed respect to the residents and to each other, there is a calmness and an atmosphere of support, and fun. A real community. My sister and I knew that our brother was surrounded by caring, friendly and familiar faces during his final days, making him comfortable and secure. A huge and heartfelt thank you.

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 4.907 for Thorpe Wood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.907
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thorpe Wood Care Home is based on 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 20 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.
