The carers are good but the food could be a bit better for me but I am fussy. I've been looked after well but looking forward going home.

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!


Great home. Well done to all who work at Thornhill!

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.

My wife was admitted after a terrible fall at home. Due a broken hip I thought she would never walk again, however the amazing staff and management at Thornhill House motivated my wife and now she is home with me and better than ever. I would like to thank one and all for your hard work once again.

Carer, staff were more than helpful with my grandmother. The choice of foods were nourishing and well balanced. There was always help when she needed anything. I would not have any problems recommending the home if I knew someone was coming in for rehab or even permanent care.

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

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.905)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.905) out 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 52 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.905 for Thornhill House is calculated as follows: ( (606 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 629 Ratings = 4.905

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thornhill House is based on 52 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 52 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
