Sending flowers to a loved one in hospital or a care home is one of the most thoughtful gestures you can make. A fresh bouquet can brighten a room, lift a mood and let someone know you're thinking of them during a difficult time. At Handover Flowers we regularly deliver flowers to hospitals and care homes across Peterborough and the surrounding area, and we want to make the process as easy as possible for you.

Delivering Flowers to Peterborough City Hospital

We deliver fresh flower bouquets directly to wards at Peterborough City Hospital. When placing your order please make sure you include the ward name and number for the patient you are sending to — this helps us ensure your flowers reach the right person quickly and without any fuss. If you are unsure of the ward details we recommend calling the hospital before placing your order.

Delivering Flowers to Care Homes in Peterborough and the Surrounding Area

We work regularly with care homes across our delivery area including Barchester care homes locally. We understand that delivering to a care home requires a little extra sensitivity and we always ensure our deliveries are handled with care and respect for both residents and staff.

We are also proud to work closely with Cherry Blossom, providing funeral wreaths and tributes when their clients sadly pass away. It is a privilege to support families during such a difficult time and we take great care in creating arrangements that are a fitting and beautiful tribute.

What to Include When Ordering

When ordering flowers for delivery to a hospital or care home please include the following details at checkout to help us deliver smoothly:

• The full name of the patient or resident
• The name of the hospital or care home
• The ward name and number (for hospital deliveries)
• Any additional instructions for the care home or nursing staff
• 
  

A Few Things to Bear in Mind

Some hospital wards do not accept flowers, particularly intensive care units and some allergy or respiratory wards. We recommend checking with the ward before placing your order to avoid any disappointment. Most general and recovery wards are happy to receive flowers and staff are usually delighted to help brighten a patient's room.

For care home deliveries it is always worth letting the home know in advance that flowers are on their way so staff can make sure the recipient is available and the delivery goes smoothly.

Flowers That Work Well for Hospital and Care Home Deliveries

 We recommend cheerful, uplifting arrangements for hospital deliveries — bright seasonal blooms, sunflowers and mixed bouquets all go down well. For care home deliveries a classic hand-tied bouquet in the recipient's favourite colours is always a lovely personal touch. If you have something specific in mind please call us on 01778 349187 and we can create a bespoke arrangement for you.
