from Lee G (Son of Resident) published on 15 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Having recently having my mother move into your care, I can't thank your lovely, professional and friendly staff enough. It's never easy to make the decision to have a loved one enter full time care, however, you have all made this process so comfortable and we are completely at ease and confident in

your first class care of our Mam. We all want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, your all angels xx

Thornbury Care Centre
from Sheila M (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

From the onset of an emergency placement for my Mam , the staff were absolutely amazing in how they welcomed her & us as a family in such traumatic circumstances.
We feel very lucky to have not only found the perfect accommodation & care for my Mam but the level of support given to myself was second

to none.
There aren't enough words to express how positive we feel about the whole experience particularly in times of stress.
My mam was always reluctant to consider being cared for in a residential setting , however she soon felt that this was her home & being afforded the best care from every member of staff . The staff have gone over & beyond in supporting & caring for us all , especially during palliative and end of life care for my Mam. The kindness , compassion, consideration, professionalism and friendliness of the staff have continually reassured us as a family that my Mam was happy and content. I wouldn't hesitate at all to highly recommend the care home to others .

from Ann-marie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mam has been in Sycamore Care Centre Boldon for 6 months, my reason for waiting to write a review is I wanted to wait, see how she settled before I gave an honest review of her care.
Firstly staff : Every member of staff, nurses, carers, domestics, kitchen, activity coordinator and not forgetting

management as it all starts from the top! Makes this place shine, always a smile on their faces and nothing seems too much trouble even though we know how hard they work they always seem to go above and beyond for my mam and I cannot fault her care.
Food : My mam always enjoys all her meals, she has also gained weight which is brilliant as it shows she is getting all the nutrition she needs.
Cleanliness : Sycamore is always spotless! smells clean and fresh, my mams room along with all the other areas is cleaned daily and is comfortably furnished, bright and homely looking.
Finally : As a family we are thankful for the brilliant care my mam receives, our mam is safe, well cared for and happy

from Melanie W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our mother went to Sycamore Care Centre in September 2024 after a long stay in the hospital.
She had extremely complex medical needs but, management and staff worked tirelessly caring for her and to request additional help and support be put in place for both our mother and the family.
Unfortunately,

she deteriorated further over a very short period and passed away in January 2025.
The care centre itself is modern and scrupulously clean and the rooms for residents are spacious and very well equipped.
Activities and entertainment are offered regularly and although encouraged to do so, our mother wouldn't always engage with staff or other residents.
Dietary requirements were also difficult but, we discussed this with the staff and her needs were met.
We would definitely recommend Sycamore Care Centre, Boldon, to anybody looking for placement of their loved one and would like to thank you all once again, for the care and compassion shown when our beloved mother passed.

Thornbury provides a clean, well-run care home for people diagnosed with dementia. Staff are largely very caring and work hard to make sure residents are happy, well cared for, safe and active. There is a very wide-ranging and interesting activity timetable and families are also invited and welcomed.

My mother is happy with the food and level of care.

from Kelly S (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father was admitted a few months ago. The staff realised quickly that he would be better suited in a different unit. They moved him as soon as a space became available. This suited him and although it has taken time to settle he is comfortable and the staff are fantastic with him even on his most

grumpy days. The activities provided daily are great and the activities coordinator makes a point of seeking him out to make sure he joins in. The rooms are fully equipped and personal items are encouraged. Can't fault them. They do their best for the residents.

from Julie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A warm, welcoming, and vibrant home with a genuine heart where loved ones are cared for and nurtured!
Nobody relishes the thought of a loved one requiring residential care. Faced with this issue we looked at almost 20 provisions before choosing Sycamore Care Centre Boldon. This proved an excellent

choice, one that I can fully recommend. Mum resided at Sycamore for 22 months during which Sycamore enriched her life due to positive care and regular, meaningful activities.
The staff at Sycamore proved second to none, demonstrating care, smiles, compassion, and genuine empathy for residents. This was combined with skill and resilience in day-to-day care. Mum developed positive relationships with fellow residents and staff alike as we as family members were also able to do. When issues arose, we could discuss them openly with staff and approachable management, enabling positive outcomes. When Mum unexpectedly passed away recently the kindness and support were simply overwhelming.

from J N (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum needed 24-hour care due to the onset of dementia. We chose Sycamore as when we went to look around for a suitable care home this one was so warm and friendly with promises of activities for the residents, outings etc. The reality was slightly different, the staff for the most part are lovely and

caring and do their best to cope with and look after several residents all with different levels of care. I haven't seen many activities and all I tend to see is residents sitting around on dining chairs all day. The food that I have seen seems to be an unappetising ' beans with everything' menu. The night shift seemed to scare my mother a bit and concern was raised by my sister-in-law. Mum still has not settled properly but I'm hoping she will given time. Overall it's not a bad place, the staff are brilliant for the most part. I'd say mum is well looked after but not cared for.

My partner's stay at Sycamore Care Centre was first class. All staff are fantastic, professional and very hard working, demonstrating lots of empathy and an abundance of social skills dealing with inpatients with very varying complex needs. They made my experience as a daily visitor much nicer knowing

everyone was so helpful, supportive, maintaining their focus on their job at hand whilst building a great rapport with me. The home itself is a lovely modern environment with plenty of lounges and large corridors. Daily entertainment was great too.

Sycamore Care Centre
from J M (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This home really needs improvement. The amenities and decor need an overhaul and the lift and heating are not adequate. The food is mass-produced and isn't appetising.
We can't fault the staff, they do their very best and they were appalled as the friends and family were/are at the treatment of a recent

resident by management.
Going into care you would expect that needs are complex and at times challenging. The resident had issues regarding mental health and lost his wife whilst he was there for a total of four weeks. In that time the home did nothing to support him but thought it fit to hand him his notice directly after telling him his wife had died.
His family moved him and he is so happy in his new home. No outbursts, no issues. That says a lot.

Overall Experience

After many weeks in hospital, Dad received a very warm welcome on arrival at Sycamore Care Centre, Nookside. His needs were met and he was made comfortable straightaway.
Staff could not have been more friendlier or helpful, nothing was a bother or too much trouble. They promptly helped or fulfilled

any requests, they were always available to help and answer our queries or questions.
Unfortunately, Dad was only here for 12 days but died peacefully in their good hands. We highly recommended Sycamore Care Centre, as within a very short time the staff earned our trust and respect, therefore we are so grateful to them for their love and care they gave Dad in his last days and the family at the time of our sad loss.
