My mum was taken I'll in October 25. I was informed straight away and she was transported to hospital. Where she stayed for a week, before being transferred back to Thornhill House. But through the shear diligent angels that work there, they noticed my mum still wasn't well. They consulted with the GP surgery immediately and she was taken back to hospital straight away. I can't thank them enough. Luckily I still have mum and she is doing very well. Thornhill House and it's staff are amazing!!.

Thornhill Care Home deserves the highest praise. It has been lovely to see the continued improvements to the decor and technology in the home, making it feel even more comfortable, modern and welcoming on each visit.
However, one thing that simply cannot be improved because it is already the very best is the level of care shown by the staff. The kindness, patience, dignity and genuine warmth they show to residents is exceptional.
You can clearly see that caring is more than just a job to the team, and knowing that a loved one is being looked after by people who genuinely care makes such a difference.
Buildings and technology can always change, but it is the people who truly make a care home. Thornhill is very fortunate to have such a caring and dedicated team. Thank you for everything you do.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It means a great deal to hear that the improvements at Thornhill House are making a difference, but even more so that the kindness, warmth and dedication of our team shine through.
