Choosing a care home in Peterborough is a deeply personal decision that deserves time, clarity, and expert support. That’s why we’ve simplified the process by curating the city’s most trusted and well-reviewed care homes. These homes offer a wide range of high-quality care options and are often rated ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). With additional healthcare options like Peterborough City Hospital, Peterborough is a practical and reassuring choice for later life.
Homes listed above provide excellent support for residential, dementia, nursing, and short-term respite care. Florence House is a local home specialising in respectful personal care, while Werrington Lodge offers superb nursing care for those living with complex needs. Many also offer daily activities such as gentle exercise, baking clubs, arts and crafts, and live entertainment - helping residents feel included, engaged, and at home. Each of these is fully regulated by the CQC and thoroughly vetted by our in-house Care Experts. You’ll find homes operated by trusted providers such as Barchester Healthcare and Excelcare, which are known for their personalised, consistent approaches to care.
Some homes even allow residents to bring their own furniture, helping to preserve familiarity and comfort in a new setting, while others have companion suites that mean couples can continue living together in care.
Funding care can often feel overwhelming. Our team of Care Experts are on hand to answer questions about fees and funding and can provide a free care home shortlist to suit your exact needs. So whatever you’re searching for, we’re here with kind guidance, honest advice, and continued support.
