About
Thorpe Wood Care Home is in Peterborough, in the East of England, and opened in 2019. It is purpose-built for people living with dementia and provides residential, nursing and dementia care across 50 registered beds. The home is organised into four separate households, each designed so that residents and staff know one another, with no secure wings or floors. Bedrooms are large and fitted with wet rooms, and the home overlooks Thorpe Wood Golf Course, with direct access to Ferry Meadows and Bluebell Woods. A safari-themed garden is also available to residents and members of the public.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2021 report, with Good grades for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led care.
