Thank you.
Everything has been wonderful, the staff and the home have all been lovely, the carers, food are all very good. If I need to come back to care, I would have no hesitation to return here, I will recommend it to my friends and family as it has been excellent.

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.

Staff are very willing and good, the food is absolutely beautiful, I have put weight on and I feel this has made me feel better. No one should be worried about coming here, you will be well looked after.
