Thornfield Care Home

My aunt unfortunately passed away in February 2026 after having lived a comfortable and extremely well supported 5 years at Thornfield. My aunt suffered with gradually worsening mixed dementia and I thought I would add a review as I feel she was loved and warmly cared for by all the staff. Thornfield is not a large care home and I think this really helped with the attentive, personable and truly loving support she was provided with at all times. My aunt was quite a character and knew every member of staff, many of whom became quite close to her and were upset when she passed. For me, the most important aspect of care home provision is how genuinely caring the staff are and for this Thornfield Care Home is second to none. A heartfelt thank you from me to all the staff at Thornfield for the support you provided my aunt for the last five years of her life.

Thornfield is homely and comfortable, the staff are very caring towards the residents and when visiting they always make you fell welcome, offering tea/coffee with a biscuit. I could not have asked for a better place to have placed my aunt, she is very happy in her new home.

My partner was taken poorly and was admitted to hospital. The assistant manager notified me straight away and I was kept informed all the time the staff even visited the hospital on his return. They really couldn't have done more to keep him comfortable and even got him a specially adapted chair and the ongoing care has been superb.

Thornfield not only provide our mum with fantastic care but they are there for us too, patiently answering all our questions and giving us peace and reassurance. Management and care staff are professional, attentive, and genuinely lovely caring people. Rooms are kept spotlessly clean and the food is good. More importantly, Mum is very happy and thinks this is her home. I would not hesitate to recommend it to others.

I always try and thank the staff for all they do, but felt I would like to put it into words, because they are the loveliest, most caring and kind people.

My husband has been a resident at Thornfield Care Home since October 2017 and has received the very best of care. He is always well dressed and presented and is very happy there. There are always staff on hand to answer any questions I may have and they are such lovely, caring people.

The owner and staff are amazing. They are so kind, patient and caring. They always have a smile for everyone and my mum is beautifully cared for. I cannot speak highly enough of them. They have given my mum quality of life again.

I am so happy that I chose Thornfield for my mum. The care and attention she receives I feel is second to none.

When Mum moved into Thornfield Care Home she was made to feel welcome by the manager and the team, she loves the entertainment there and enjoys the walk around the garden, always made to feel welcome when we go to visit her.

My mum has been at Thornfields since March 2021. She settled in very quickly and really loves walks around the lovely long garden. All of the staff are very friendly and caring. Whenever I visit (which is 3-4 times a week) I am always made to feel very welcome. I can see first-hand how they look after all the residents. The care home is very clean and tidy and mum seems very happy there. I can’t thank the staff and management enough for all they do.

I was so glad that we were able to find such a great care home for my dad. It is always a very difficult time for the family when these decisions have to be made and we were supported all the way by the Manager and staff at Thornfields. The staff are not only respectful and kind to the residents but they are also mindful of how the family are feeling. Our visits to the home are always welcomed. It is a pleasure to visit and spend quality time with dad and I always come away feeling reassured that the greatest care is taken and that he is happy in his new home.

Well what can I say, I had to make the sad decision for my husband to go into a care home nearly a year ago now. I'm not sad any more, he is in such good hands. The staff are all kind and caring and my dear husband is as happy as he could possibly be. He was taken into hospital and went into Thornfields on discharge. He has improved in all ways under the excellent care he is being given. He has Alzheimer's and everyone is so patient and understanding. He brought tears to my eyes when he told me he was very happy and comfortable here, that coming from someone who has lost the ability to make a sensible sentence was music to my ears and talking of music they have entertainers and all the residents join in either singing or dancing or indeed both. It's a happy home. Well done Thornfields.

I would not hesitate to recommend Thornfields to anyone.

I am hugely grateful and appreciative of the wonderful care my dad has been given.

My dad has been at Thornfields since April this year, and he has settled in very well, thanks to the lovely caring and kind people who work there. It wasn't an easy decision to place him in a care home, but my mum, myself and our family were finding it increasingly difficult to care for my dad's complex needs at home. The management and the care team at Thornfields have all been truly wonderful, professional and kind, making my dad's transition into a fulltime care home a less painful experience. They look after my dad so well, and always make us feel very welcome when we visit, with cups of tea and biscuits, and understanding my dad's needs. Thornfields has a warm, comfortable and homely atmosphere, with a beautiful mature garden to sit or wander through with my dad, quiet and calming. I highly recommend this home to anyone who is reading this and are finding themselves in our position.

We had a very positive experience of the home, the owners and their team were very kind to my mother and always welcoming when we visited as one of her family or a friend who visited most days.

Nothing was to much trouble. The owner takes an active role in caring for the residents, her husband is also actively involved with the home and the residents, which I thought was nice to see. They always have a smile and they are genuinely caring people.

My mother's end of life care was excellent and the support we received after her passing was demonstrated through the empathy shown.

I am happy visiting my nan seeing that she is happy and well looked after.

I never worry when leaving her as I know she is in good hands and will be OK.

Very comfortable environment - nothing is too much trouble with great professionalism.

Home from home.

Living in Ireland and only able to visit my sister I am always comfortable leaving her at Thornfields when I return to Ireland as I know she is safe and happy and well cared for.
