Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Thornhill House: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 8.8 (maximum of 10) for Thornhill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 67 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Thornhill House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.885 for Thornhill House is calculated as follows: ( (745 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 800 Ratings = 4.885
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 3.895 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thornhill House is based on 3 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 3.5
Target of 7.6 positive Reviews (38 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 3 Reviews ÷ 7.6 Target = 0.395
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Thornhill House has a Review Score of 8.8 (8.780) from 67 Reviews

We cannot fault anything about Thornhill House. My husband came home 100% better than he went there and we are so grateful, not only for him but me also. They are all so brilliant.

Not happy at all with this facility for my father who has Alzheimer's. This did not seem to be taken into account and he came away very insecure and afraid. Although the physios did get him back on his feet.

The care I have received at Thornhill has been more than excellent. When I came here I couldn't believe the amount of care I received. The carers do more than care for you, they are so kind and work so hard. The food is excellent, this is the second time I have been here and when I came I said "I have come home". I said they are more than excellent.

Thornhill is a first class care home, the care I have had has been the best I could have had anywhere. The staff are so kind and patient and do all they can to make people happy, they always have a smile on their face and nothing is too much trouble for them. The kitchen staff and cleaners are always helpful and the meals are first class, the place is lovely, clean and the residents are given every encouragement to get well, no one feels embarrassed.

My Mum was in Thornhill House all of January and most of February.
She was so happy and cared for.
She loved the staff, the food, the company and most of all the stimulation.
We are looking at daycare to come back in future.
Thanks everyone.

My mum had a rehabilitation stay at Thornhill House in Feb 2017. We were pleased when mum could move on after one week. Some staff were kind but unfortunately, these were in a minority. In general, there was a poor attitude and mum was made to feel she was a nuisance. There was a lack of empathy and understanding. The rehabilitation, particularly the Physiotherapy sessions, were excellent.

Christian, Manager at Thornhill House responded to this review on 23 Mar 2017:
Sorry you felt this way regarding your mum's stay at Thornhill. I'm a little concerned regarding your comments as your mum wanted respite at Thornhill and I had no beds available. Your comments have been noted and will be used to ensure anyone else who stays at Thornhill does not experience the same.

At first, I did not want to stay but now I can honestly say I have enjoyed staying at Thornhill. Staff have been wonderful, can't do enough for me. Food is fabulous, homemade cooking and if you don't want what they are cooking, alternative meals are provided. My room was smashing, comfortable bed and always clean and smelled nice when you re-entered the room. My family also commented on how well I was treated. Christmas was special and I have enjoyed all the entertainment

My grandma has been in Thornhill since August when she had a fall at home, after being in a few days she said she wanted to stay and live here as she loved it, they treat the residents so well and nothing is too much trouble. Since then, my grandma is now on a care plan and I can not thank everyone enough for what they are doing for her, caring, tentative, supportive to us as the family, they make you feel so welcomed and part of the family unit that all staff are.

I was heartbroken when my mother had to be admitted due to a serious accident, although from the moment I walked in we were made very welcome. All staff were very friendly and very informative. Nothing was too much trouble. My mother was very upset when admitted and I was so surprised how quickly she settled and how quickly her condition improved.
The home itself was very clean, and my mother was very happy with her room.
The care she received was fabulous and not only did they make her smile and feel at home, they also helped her with her recovery and she is now back in her own home.
Thank you to all staff and management.

Lovely clean home. Brilliant atmosphere and helpful staff.
I used to look after my friend for many years as he was my neighbour and after a bad spell with an chest infection amongst other ailments he landed at Thornhill. On visiting him he looked content and was chatting to carers and he claims he's shy!

My dad was in Thornhill House and he loved his time there. The staff were brilliant and I cannot thank the place.

My grandma was admitted here for rehabilitation after a fall at home. She had physiotherapy and occupational therapy. All the staff were friendly and sociable and my gran was very well looked after. She made lots of new friends and there were tears when she had to leave them and the staff. 10 out of 10 form us!

During my mothers stay at Thornhill House I was made to feel extremely welcome every time I visited. My mum had been in another home which provided rehab however made no progress. My dear mum was unable to walk due to a fall in August this year however after 3 days at Thornhill House mum was back on her feet! "They really are miracle workers!" The staff are so kind and very helpful as well as "hard working". The managers are both extremely helpful and very approachable and resolved any concerns relating to mum! The home is very homely with a very pleasant atmosphere. Thank you everyone!

My friend has been in the home for over 2 years and passed away recently I want to thank the Manager and staff for looking after him so well and caring for in last days of his life. The care provided was outstanding. Well done everyone.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Christopher R (Son of Resident) on Saturday 17 October 2015. Relates to September 2015.
This home has looked after my mother Gladys, from July 2014 to 9th September 2015, when sadly she passed away at the age of 94.
Although she did not want to leave her own home she was welcomed in to Thornhill House and she quickly settled, eventually understanding and accepting the reasons for her change in dwelling. This was helped tremendously by the caring and friendly attitude of the Management & Staff, and mother enjoyed her time there.
At all times she was treated with care and dignity, and anything that she wanted, or needed, was dealt with quickly.
Towards the end of her life mother spent a lot of time in bed, but she was still monitored and looked after on a very regular basis, and we could not have asked for any better or more care and love than she received from the staff.
There was an obvious culture of love, care, safety, entertainment, happiness and respect throughout the entire home, no matter what time of day you turned up, expected or otherwise.
The Management went to great lengths to keep us updated with mother's progress with telephone calls, e-mails, photographs and videos. All much appreciated, because living in Southampton we were 220 miles away from mother.
We could not have asked for better care for my mother in the last months of her life.

My Nannan was a resident here, as she became unable to look after herself in her own home.
I have nothing but gratitude and praise for the staff at Thornhill. She lived her final year here and the staff were amazing.
Take care given here was amazing, and the staff do an amazing job.
We often visited from a long distance, and they always looked after us and my man.
The final weeks of her life, my Nan was treated with such dignity and respect. I thank Thornhill for the wonderful care that has been given. Thank you - you all do such a great job.

The service and facilities that Thornhill provide is excellent. My grandmother was a resident for approx 18 months until her recent passing. During her stay she was very happy, she was well cared for and for us living far away, we were extremely content that she was in safe hands and being cared for to a high standard. Sadly we lost my grandmother recently and the care provided in her final days was exceptional. The care and compassion of all the staff was just amazing. They all cared for her and took time out of their own time to visit her.
The management and staff also looked after us, her family, in our times of need. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did.

The first two days I did not enjoy being in the home as it was my first experience in a care environment, but afterwards I began to settle. I have no complaints towards the staff, I would be glad to return to Thornhill in the future if I ever needed to.
