Top Retirement communitys in Thetford, United Kingdom

Proud to work for Kingsley Healthcare based at Thorp House Nursing Home
Such an encouraging and positive environment.
Great leadership from the top CEO with a genuine open door policy which filters down.
Lovely ongoing support at Regional and Home Management levels fostering confidence and personal growth.
When you work for a company that you believe in, it doesn’t seem like work more like being part of a legacy that sets a benchmark for the future.

I'm the new vicar for the area, having moved to Norfolk in July. Thorp House is within the boundary for which I work.
I have visited many residential homes during my time as a priest but have to say that Thorp house was one of the most welcoming I've ever experienced. As soon as the door opened, a smiley face welcomed me in, the homely feeling inside was wonderful, so wonderful that I asked about the possibility of my own father moving there. The home is a joyful and happy place to be, with many activities and services available.

I visit often, and have noted the care given by the staff. It's a holistic care, with detail given to every aspect of the individuals life and personality. From a vicars perspective, the staff not only go above and beyond caring for the residents basic needs, but their spiritual needs too , whatever their faith might be. I would like to offer my sincere thanks for doing that. You are wonderful and I can't wait til my next visit! Thank you!
Revd Vanessa.

I am occasionally lucky enough to join Wayland Choir who sing at Thorp House every month, we are always warmly welcomed by Marcia Hughes the events Co-ordinator and by all the friendly and busy staff, the residents always seem to enjoy us being there and join in with the singing, as do some of the care staff.
We have just been there on a lovely sunny day with the sun flooding through the windows. Thorp House has a warm and friendly atmosphere.

I have visited Thorp House a few times and what a wonderful place it is. All the staff are delightful and very caring and cannot do enough for the residents. Thank you for all your help and kindness

This is our local residential home and it’s a cornerstone of the community. Recently they have taken the village peacocks ‘under their wing’ and have now offered a location for the parish council owl box. They have already offered up their car park for the monthly visit of the county mobile library service to the village.

The range of activities on offer is exhaustive - and even for the younger and more able bodied, exhausting - and their Activities Coordinator Marcia Hughes leaves no stone unturned in keeping everyone alert and occupied.

Like most people, I’m nervous about ever being ‘put into’ a home - but if I ever do, I’d like it to be this one.

Thorp House, Griston care home really does look after the residents as seen whenever I visit. They have lots of daily activities organised by the team lead by Marcia.
Marcia has engaged with the village of Griston and with their Parish Council to get the care home and residents as part of the Griston Community.

Superb quality care, staff are all caring treat all residents as individuals, one to one care, every day the welfare carer organise trips out entertainment and activities. I know the former 2023/24 Breckland council chairman personally recognised this care, after a visit to remember Breckland residents

I have visited an old neighbour several times over the past few months he was very reluctant to go in but had several falls he is mentally with it and needed companionship I was always greeted pleasantly and made welcome I found the home to be of a very high standard in care diets cleanliness and very impressed with all the activities they do it they have gone out of there way to help settle my neighbour getting him involved as he is quite alert the staff will do anything to hep the residents to be comfortable too I am a retired nurse and used to have my own nursing home hence I know what criteria’s have to be met well done everyone especially Marcia activities manager she works wanders with them
