CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Stow Healthcare Group Limited runs Ford Place Nursing Home, a nursing home in Thetford, Norfolk with room for 55 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Norfolk has 29 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
It is the only Outstanding home among the 7 closest. It is one of 8 homes run by Stow Healthcare Group Limited. 7 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from April 2025. 89% of homes in Norfolk also score 5. Across Norfolk, 67% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England.
CQC's latest rating, from February 2018, is Outstanding overall. Responsive and well-led were also Outstanding. Safe, effective and caring were rated Good. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Norfolk, 46% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
