Local knowledge across Peterborough

Peterborough is a fast growing cathedral city on the River Nene, home to well over two hundred thousand residents across a mix of historic streets, post war townships and newer developments. Care needs vary from one part of the city to the next, and we tailor support to the person and the place rather than offering a one size fits all service. We arrange care across neighbourhoods such as Werrington and Paston in the PE4 area, Bretton and Longthorpe towards PE3, the Orton townships and Stanground in PE2, and the central streets and Dogsthorpe closer to PE1, as well as newer communities like Hampton to the south.

Families here often know the city by its landmarks, from the Norman splendour of Peterborough Cathedral in the heart of the centre to the green expanse of Nene Park and Ferry Meadows where many people like to walk. Wherever home is, our aim is the same, to help someone keep the routines and connections that matter to them while getting the practical help they need.

We regularly support people returning home after a stay at Peterborough City Hospital on Bretton Gate, part of North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, which also runs Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Stamford and Rutland Hospital nearby. The first weeks back at home matter, so we help with medication routines, mobility and rehabilitation support and stay in close contact with families and community teams.

Adult social care in the city is overseen by Peterborough City Council, the unitary authority for the area. If you think a relative may qualify for help with funding, you can ask the council for a free care needs assessment, followed by a financial assessment. Many families we work with self-fund their care, and we are always happy to explain how the different routes work. You can read more on our paying for care guide.
