Care Home Owned by Bescot Lodge in Cheshire

home is clean and inviting, no nasty smells that hit you as you walk in. The food is fantastic and plenty of it. But what makes this the best place for my dad are the staff, they are all diamonds.

happier.

later stages of dementia and needs a lot of care and understanding which she receives there, as her every need is met. There is excellent communication between the staff and the family, I couldn’t ask for Mum to be in a nicer home.

toilet facilities. No shower in there due to space but quite regularly staff take him for a shower. The building is not one of these brand new places so with something older more maintenance is required and they have regular people coming in addressing these issues which is good to see. My favourite place is the kitchen(where I get given cake and tea to take away upstairs during my visit which gives out fantastic smells from the really good chefs they have (very knowledgeable). No microwave meals here. There is a great atmosphere around dining area etc, which you do not always see at these places. It has a lovely conservatory looking out onto mature garden which is not small, I would recomend this to anyone.

place Thornton House is.

I can not visit as often as I would like, living so far away, so it's nice to know that she is being well looked after and we, as a family, don't have to worry about her. I would be unlikely to recommend the care home to family or friends because it is so far away, not in my area.

to the family and what they would like for their relative and all needs were offered.

nearing 102 years of age, I am convinced this would not have been reached this without Thornton House staff care.

Thornton House mum has made many friends and has settled in very well.

friendly.

is a convenient asset for residents. My mother has been a resident at Thornton House for eight years and I'm thankful for the care and love that she receives.

to fund things for the residents. The owner is very rarely seen, so any issues with him do not get addressed. Cheap food ie coffee tea etc is not the best! On the whole, this is a warm and caring environment for my Dad. I do hope issues with the owner can be resolved.

husband and will be doing the same this year. I think this home is value for money and very homely, which makes my husband feel more at home.

and with less than 25 residents at any one time, the staff/resident ratio is high and there is time to know residents as individuals. Any medical issues are detected promptly and dealt with appropriately.
Thornton House has its own chef and the food is all freshly prepared in the kitchen.
Rooms can be furnished with personal items (if suitable) if so desired; they are well lit and most rooms have views over gardens or fields. Speaking of gardens, the grounds of Thornton House are extensive and attractive. Residents interested in gardening can use the greenhouse, tubs, or raised beds.
The best thing about the home is the welcoming, friendly, "extended family" atmosphere.

and rate Thornton House as excellent.
