Review from Julie C (Friend of Resident) published on 27 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my elderly next-door neighbour for about 5-years, and in all that time, cannot fault the care she has received. She went there after being discharged from a hospice and was cared for and loved back to life. She has been very happy there, the carers treat the residents like their
own, and the manager is second to none; knows and understands those in her care. The residents are kept clean all the time, and there has never been a smell in the home. I find Thorncliffe Grange highly recommendable.

Review from Sandra P (Niece of Resident) published on 27 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt who is 95, has been cared for at Thorncliffe Grange since 2016 and I have nothing but praise for the fabulous care and attention she has received since being admitted. We have visited regularly, and always been made to feel welcome, given every opportunity to participate in whatever is happening
at the home. My aunt who is suffering from dementia, was very reluctant to leave her own house but has settled really well into her new home, and much appreciate the friendship and care given to her. This has been particularly evident over the last several weeks when we have been unable to visit, but have been kept informed, and in touch by the staff.
I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone needing a loving and caring environment for a family member

We totally understand the difficult times you are having to go through not visiting but glad you feel well informed. On behalf of us, all at Thorncliffe Grange THANK YOU.

Fantastic care home. I am so happy my mum chose to come here. The care that has been provided is amazing. All the staff are fantastic and lovely. You can see a real bond with all the residents. The manager is very supportive and has been so helpful. I honestly don't know where we would be now without
the support of these lovely people.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home is an excellent home from home. The staff are fantastic and friendly, nothing is to much trouble. Mum was made comfortable and welcome from her 1st day, and we can visit whenever we want, which is comforting. The care all the residents receive is excellent, and we
are kept updated as and when is needed, and if we call them to ask how our relatives are, we never made to feel like we are being a nuisance. Covid-19 has been hard on everyone, but our loved ones have had the same excellent care, and we have been regularly updated, which is a massive comfort as we cannot visit. Keep up the hard work which is greatly appreciated. Take care and stay safe

Review from Karen C (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in this care home for 8-years now, and over this time, my sister and I have visited regularly. We are welcome to visit at any time and so can see the care home in action at all times of the day and evening. Our Mother has been so well cared for that her health actually improved when
she first became a resident. The staff have made both our Mother, my sister and myself feel almost like family. The care home does feel like one big happy family. Everyone is treated with respect despite the difficulties that some residents have with dementia illnesses. Our Mother has needed hands-on nursing care since her arrival, and this has been administered both kindly and professionally. If we could have our choice again on selecting a care home now we have experience of what this involves; I would have no hesitation in choosing Thorncliffe Grange.
Reply from Sarah Hitchcock, MANAGER at Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home

Thank you so very much, Karen. Mum is most definately a long-standing and wonderful part of the home and we cherish her even more so whilst you and your family can't visit. Mum is a pleasure to care for, on behalf of us all at Thorncliffe Grange THANK YOU XX

Review from Beverley M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our wonderful mum spent the last 12-months of her life at Thorncliffe Grange. She couldn't have been in a better place. The care shown to her by absolutely everyone was phenomenal. Staff treated her like she was their own mother. The carers were like friends and my brother and I could rest easy knowing
that our mum was safe and comfortable and receiving the highest level of care. Nothing was too much trouble for the carers, who also saw that I was fed and watered the days I spent with mum. I cannot recommend the care given at Thorncliffe enough. I will always be thankful to everyone there for the love and care shown to our beautiful mum.
Reply from SARAH HITCHCOCK, MANAGER at Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home

Thank you, Beverley, for the absolutely lovely review. I do apologise for the late response but I have only just received the set up to reply. Your Mum was a pleasure to care for as were you and your 'extended family' visiting. From all of us at Thorncliffe take care xx

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot recommend this care home highly enough. All the staff are very caring and friendly. It really feels like a home rather than an institution. I and the family; was looking for excellent care for my mother in her final months, and we certainly found it. The staff are highly trained and look after
all their residents with dignity. Nothing is too much trouble, and you always feel welcome as a visitor. Almost part of the family. If you are looking for the smartest most modern decor, you won't find it here, but the most important thing is the care provided.

Review from Ian S (Son of Resident) published on 6 March 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad moved into Thorncliffe Grange after leaving hospital after sadly being diagnosed with terminal cancer.
He was welcomed with open arms by the folks at Thorncliffe and looked after with compassion, dignity and good humour.
Everyone there concerned made his last days as comfortable and pleasant
as they possibly could, frankly, nothing was too much trouble and done with a fantastic friendly (almost family like manner)
No one even blinked an eye when we pretty much moved in for dad's last few days... AND they fed and watered us along with supporting us as well as dad.
We are truly comforted by the thoughts that dad had the best care possible at the end and that we were all amongst friends when he finally left us very peacefully.
Fantastic folks in a truly amazing place.
Reply from SARAH HITCHCOCK, MANAGER at Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home

Firstly can I apologise for the late response but I have only just had the ability to respond to reviews.
Thank you so much, Ian, for taking the time to write this review. Your Dad and your family were just a pleasure to have. I do hope you have found some comfort and peace-from all of us at Thorncliffe thank you x

Review from Pauline B (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As a former night care assistant myself for 20 years (and also caring for my Mum for 12), when she became too poorly to stay at home I knew what I was looking for in a home. Fancy décor and modern settings were not a priority – the people that work there are what make it. I found this at Thorncliffe
Grange, with friendly and professional staff that care about their residents. All the staff were attentive and knowledgeable of both the residents and their relatives. The support they provide is second to none, and with so many terrible reviews in the media I wanted to highlight a very positive experience. We count ourselves lucky to have experienced the last months of Mum’s life with such wonderful people who were like extended family, and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for the hard work and commitment they gave at all times.

Review from Malcolm W (Husband of Resident) published on 6 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife spent four months in hospital due to the progression of dementia and as they could not get her mobile she was eventually transferred to Thorncliffe Grange in February 2018. The building is a little old but the staff do a wonderful job of keeping it clean and welcoming. As far as looking after
the residents they do a truly terrific job and treat them with compassion and respect. There is always a friendly smile and a helping hand whenever needed. I was unsure about my wife going into a home but now feel she is better looked after than I could do myself. This has made my life a lot easier.

Review from Judith H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my mum received from all the staff at Thorncliffe can only be described as outstanding. Mum was placed in their care for respite whilst dad was in hospital and my previous experience of other care homes in the area made me dread the prospect.
I admit that, on approaching the care home, my
heart sank, as the building was typical of old houses turned into care homes. That view changed when I met the manager and staff and saw the facilities.
Mum's bedroom was- large, airy and exceptionally clean.
I visited at least twice a day and saw the staff in action with other residents. Everyone was treated with respect, kindness and patience and the staff went well over and above what was needed. The food smelt great and appetising - in fact mum put on a little weight!
I cannot praise the staff of Thorncliffe enough. It is a well-managed care home with some truly dedicated and hard-working staff who put the needs of the residents to the fore.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.955 for Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 111 Ratings = 4.955
  2. 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 Thorncliffe Grange Nursing Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
