Thorpe Wood Care Home

The food always looks excellent and plentiful and the staff ensure that drinks are given regularly. The rooms are spacious and have plenty of storage. The communal area is welcoming and there is always music or the tv on in the background. Would highly recommend.

We selected Thorpe Wood after viewing several care homes for our mother and it was the right decision. For over 5 years she was cared for and despite her needs changing the level of care didn't diminish. Our mother fully enjoyed the activities provided and was encouraged when necessary to get involved. Our mother passed away in the care home where she wanted to be. All the staff were caring, empathetic and respectful of her needs. As a family we had complete peace of mind she was safe and cared for.

All staff approachable, helpful and showed respect, kindness and great communication with myself and friend who I was visiting.

The care and kindness my husband receives is absolutely first-class. They are considerate of all family members also - indeed I do feel part of the Thorpe Wood family.

Such a warm, welcoming, inclusive, home from home. It has been such a relief to finally know that my mother is safe and cared for. My mother is treated with dignity and respect, encouraged to join in with the many varied activities but her choice whether to participate is always respected. Visits from family and friends are encouraged and we are always made to feel so welcome. We couldn't have chosen anywhere better for my mother to live... Thank you Thorpe Wood

I find that there is not a lot of interaction between carers and residents. They do a good job with practicalities but not so much with the social element. Residents left alone with no company (except visitors). I appreciate the entertainment program is full but if the resident does not want to join in they are isolated and lonely.

Everyone is made to feel very welcome.

I can't fault this home at all, it's exceptionally led and the care team are worth their weight in gold

I am living at Thorpe Wood care home since November 2024. My stay at Thorpe Wood is very comfortable. The staff is good and always treat with respect and dignity. I enjoy my day with activities and lovely food. The management is always approachable and seek feedback regularly. I feel at home.

My husband and I visited several nursing homes when we were considering respite care, Thorpe Wood came out top of the list although we were concerned that we might have to go on a waiting list. The need for permanent care came quicker than we expected and thanks to the management staff my husband was able to become a resident. The rooms are well designed and very comfortable. The whole building is made to feel like 'home'. Meals are wholesome and varied. Staff are attentive and caring, you could not ask for more. This is somewhere you should visit and put on your 'What if' list.

This is a wonderful care home where mum was made welcome from her very first day. All the staff are so caring and are brilliant at seeing to mum's needs in such a respectful and helpful way. Mum particularly loves all the musical events and anything to do with arts and crafts. There's nearly always something to keep her entertained and engaged. I have total peace of mind knowing mum is so well cared for.

Very caring and friendly staff the management are readily available and very supportive to resident's family. No one appears phased by the unpredictable behaviour of some residents. Activities are varied and the coordinators are hardworking, bubble people who enjoy their time with the residents. The garden is wel maintained and attractive. We are very pleased our family member is a resident at Thorpe Wood at this challenging time.

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.

Great service, personal care carried out with dignity. Friendly, welcoming staff. My dad was extremely well cared for, thank you.

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.

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.

We no longer worry about leaving Mum, as she is very well loved and cared for her in new home.

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!

Mum came to Thorpe Wood for respite for four weeks, and has been made very welcome, she has said she is so happy and feels very at home here. She loves how friendly everyone is and all the activities. And she has decided to make this ger home on a permanent basis.
