About Thorp House

Thorp House is a nursing home in Thetford, Norfolk. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people living with mental ill health, and we offer respite stays. With registered nurses on the team, we can care for people whose health needs are complex, and we can usually continue caring for somebody as their needs change rather than asking them to move on. That continuity matters enormously to families and it matters to us. We try to keep the home domestic in feel. People wake when they wake, eat what they enjoy and spend the day in company or on their own as they prefer. Rooms belong to the residents. For people living with dementia and for those living with mental ill health, what helps most is a settled environment and staff who know them well, so we work hard to keep our team stable. We are in regular contact with GPs and community teams, which helps us to spot problems early and avoid unnecessary trips to hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at nursing care in this part of Norfolk, you are welcome to visit, meet our nurses and carers and ask whatever you need to ask.
