Thornhill House

The staff are always welcoming and friendly and always maintain an exceptional level of care towards my Nan. I do feel at ease and peace of mind knowing my Nan is in such great care

Whenever I visit Thornhill I am always treated with the utmost respect and made to feel really welcome by the management and staff. I am amazed by all the activities and entertainment provided for the service users. The staff are always friendly and funny and show really good teamwork. Having worked in this environment myself for 25 years I am really impressed with how this home is run and managed.

I would highly recommend Thornhill to anyone considering a care home for a family member.

Until the passing of my mum, I could not fault the care and attention the staff and manager gave my mum and other residents. When my mum went into Thornhill House she was given back a life. On the day she passed, the manager stepped up ferrying our family to the care home and treating us all with respect and compassion. I will never forget it, thank you.

Mum is very happy and settled. All staff are very caring and always has the residents best interests in mind. The manager makes sure residents always have entertainment and activities to look forward to, I would recommend Thornhill House in a heart beat the standard of care is 5 star.

Thornhill House Care Home took in my aunt on short notice when she was very low and unable to care for herself after being in hospital. They encouraged her in her mobility and built up her self-esteem. The home has good leadership and the staff are kind and compassionate. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming to residents and families. They supported my aunt in her personal growth so she was able to live back independently in the community. Even though she has now left, my family are now part of the Thornhill family and we have made many friends there and still visit with my aunt.

Look after residents really well, friendly staff and lots of activities. Home is clean and well presented. Access is secure. All meals and refreshments seem to be regular and good quality. Mother-in-law is very happy there.

We are very happy to see her happy and contented.

I am so grateful to the staff at Thornhill House for the fantastic care that my beautiful Grandma receives there. It is such a relief for us as a family to know that our Grandma is in the best hands possible, especially since we lost our Grandad who was also looked after by Thornhill House, as she is clearly so content and happy. The fact that they could be together, when they weren't able to be in their own house anymore is something that was so special to us and it really means the world. You are all superstars and we will always be grateful for everything that you have done for us and our family. Thank you!

My mother is really happy there.

Mum moved into Thornhill House when dad died as her stage of dementia meant she couldn’t live alone in their own home. Me and my sisters were very worried about how she would manage the transition but Thornhill House staff were so friendly and thoughtful that Mum soon settled in. The activities and emotional support of the staff has made it a happy move despite the difficult circumstances and we are very grateful!

Why choose this home is the question I am often asked the question. Mum has severe dementia she enjoys singing and dancing, the team organise singers where my mum can dance and sing with the staff, they have a community who are committed to engaging with the residents in the home. Sadly my mum was diagnosed end of life last July but due to the amazing care staff who nursed her constantly for 3 weeks and intervention from district nursing she’s a little better. Thanks to all staff I really appreciate you looking after my mum.

My friend is in the home, the staff are so caring and the entertainment fantastic. I have seen him improve so much, the staff deserve so much praise for the care they do. I have been kept informed so much during covid.

My Nan receives the best care possible here. All the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming and I feel safe and happy knowing that they are looking after her. The activities provided, especially during the Christmas period, really lift her mood!

My mother-in-law is in Darfield Thornhill House and the home recently held a coffee morning which I was invited to. Having been through the last two years of upset with Covid, it was amazing to be allowed into the home and see my wife’s mum. The welcome and atmosphere was incredible and it was a wonderful morning to remember. The staff are amazing and are all polite and friendly. My mother-in-law is well looked after and safe and me and my wife can rest knowing that she has such brilliant care.

Excellent all round! All members of staff are so friendly and go the extra mile to help the residents. There’s always something going on to keep my nannan and the others entertained, and even through the hard times, they made it possible for us to see our loved ones whilst keeping them safe.

From being met at the door, you are made to feel very welcome. The manager and all staff take time to say hello and speak about my sister. She is treated with dignity and respect and I feel confident she is given the best of care.

Very nice home. The staff can't do enough for you, sort out any problems and always have something for the residents to do - painting, games and singers. Very caring.

All the staff are amazing and accommodating when visiting. When it comes to professional standards, the staff have taken every precaution to ensure all their residents have been safe, especially during the height of the pandemic up until the present day. All the staff deserve recognition for all the hard work to ensure all residents are happy in their well-being, whilst staying at Thornhill House.

My mum has been in Thornhill House for approximately two and a half years and she has been very happy and settled during this time. She always told me that the carers were always friendly and she felt well looked after.
