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.

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.

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.
17 February 2026
Both my sister and myself are very happy with the care our mother receives at Thorpe Wood Care Home. The staff are dedicated and attentive. They meet all of mum's needs. They provide a happy and calm environment for all the residents. Tizzy and Sofia provide excellent mental stimulus for mum as
well. It's a great team at Thorpe Wood. Please don't change anything!
10 February 2026
My sister has only been here a short while but our experience is top rate. Staff are all very friendly and caring. Rooms clean and tidy.
03 February 2026
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.

I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Thorpe Wood Care Home. From management to activities staff to cleaners and kitchen staff, all know my husband's name and will take the time to speak with him when they see him.
The meals are very well planned and plentiful and there is a thorough
activities programme.
The individual rooms are spacious and clean.
It is reassuring to know that your loved one is in such a caring, professional and supportive environment.

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 recieved very personal care whilst in Thorpe Wood Care Home. I felt sure she was in good friendly hands. The staff were really understanding of my mother's dementia needs. The home kept me well informed throughout her stay.
100% effot from the kind staff.

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.

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.
30 September 2025
The care shown to my mother is outstanding. Staff go above and beyond to creating a loving family atmosphere. Food choices are excellent and every attempt is made to find something my mother would eat. Activities are regular and varied and sociable and include family members which adds to the warm,
welcoming homely atmosphere. The building itself is kept beautiful clean and the layout encourages social interactions between staff, residents and relatives.

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.

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.
