There is a place in Thornton-in-Craven where life slows to a gentler rhythm, where the views stretch across the rolling Craven Hills, and where later life is re-imagined as the beginning of something more connected and fulfilling.
Thornton Hill Care Home is a new 27-bed premium residential home set within a beautifully restored 1870s manor house near Skipton. Thoughtfully redeveloped from a historic building long woven into the fabric of the local community, it now offers boutique, lifestyle-led living for individuals and couples seeking independence, reassurance and a genuine sense of home.
Behind the creation of Thornton Hill is a family story rooted in decades of care experience.
The home is led by the Managing Director whose family have worked in the care sector for over 20 years, having successfully run the award-winning Well Springs Care Home in Bradford (consistently ranked among the Top 20 Care Homes in Yorkshire for the past six years).
Life at Thornton Hill is shaped around meaningful daily experiences, with a programme of activities tailored to individual interests and abilities, with regular live musical performances - where family members are encouraged to join, gentle fitness sessions to support wellbeing and mobility, and regular day trips across Yorkshire and Lancashire so residents can experience the beauty of the region.

My Mum moved in here more or less when they opened the doors. She was so impressed when we looked around in November that she was happy to wait until the grand opening at the beginning of February. The accommodation is excellent, the attention to detail second to none. A lovely roof top terrace has been built and it will be fantastic to sit there on warm summer days and enjoy the spectacular views. The food is excellent too. A good variety and always piping hot. However the most important part to mention is the staff. They are wonderful from the owner Ben to the housekeeper Liz. Every member of staff is kind and caring taking time to talk to the residents and get to know them. They genuinely care and it is such a relief to know she is being so well looked after in such lovely surroundings. The manager Zoe has gone over and above to make sure everything was in place for Mum's arrival and has continued to be very hands on ever since. I cannot recommend this care home enough.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. We are delighted to finally be open and care for your mum. Your review has perfectly picked out what is most important to us and I thank you for sharing this for other people to see. We will always ensure you mum has the best care possible now and in to the future.

Hi, I'm Ben, and I am the proud owner of Thornton Hill Care Home and Well Springs Nursing Home.
I joined my father in business in 2015, where I learnt all the roles in the home by performing them alongside our fabulous team. Eventually, I learnt how to play a leading role in running the business, with quality at the forefront of all decisions. Fast forward to 2025, when our small family business bought our second home, Thornton Hill.
I came into care because I love seeing what is possible in a world where, sadly, there are not enough lovely homes. I am involved daily across both homes and always love to meet families that want to look around. I feel lucky to be a part of such an amazing team where we have lots of staff who have stayed with us for decades.
My grandma was looked after by my incredible colleagues for 5 years of her life when she needed that extra support. I trust our staff to try their hardest and let their personalities shine, and that is why we have a lovely reputation as a business that truly cares about the elderly people who need great care.
