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. ?
Thorpe Wood Care Home is an independent 50-bed nursing home in Peterborough, registered with CQC under its own name. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Peterborough has 30 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Its CQC rating, from February 2021, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in January 2020, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 55% of ratings in Peterborough are as old (how rating age varies by council).
In Peterborough, 88% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from January 2026. That is true of 100% of homes in Peterborough. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
