Thornton Manor Nursing Home

My wife has been resident at Thornton Manor for over 2 ½ years with severe early onset dementia. The home is not luxurious but it is in a rural setting, well equipped and maintained, spotlessly clean, and provides all the care she needs. Staff know and engage with each resident individually and personally. The standard of care has been exemplary from management and administration, through to carers, events staff, cleaners, maintenance, and cooks. Staff are very friendly, thorough and especially attentive to her specific needs and limitations. They have reacted immediately, calmly, positively and satisfactorily to any issues I have raised. My wife appears healthy, relaxed, content, safe and secure. They treat residents as people.

Although it may not be the plushest of surroundings, the staff are lovely, friendly and approachable and they genuinely care about the residents, always saying a cheery hello as they pass his door.

My Husband has been in Thornton Manor for 10 months & I have nothing but praise for the whole staff, from management right down to laundry & maintainance, the carers are amazing, so patient & kind, I cannot thank them enough, the home is in a lovely setting, the rooms are made so comfortable & homely, the kitchen staff are wonderful & serve gorgeous food. I really recomend if you are looking for a care home for a loved one you visit Thornton Manor, you will see how they care for every resident, the whole team really are astounding.

My mum has been here for almost a year and we are truly grateful to all of the staff and the hard work they commit to.

My dad has been at Thornton for a few years now and has seen a wide range of improvements whilst there. There is so much for the residents to do if they choose, the staff are so friendly and caring. Unfortunately, my dad has to be in a nursing home but I am happy that it is Thornton.

No one plans to need to live in a care home, but if you do then Thornton Manor is as close to a home from home, with a family away from family as you are ever going to find. You might find posher looking care homes, but when the chips are down it's caring that matters. Thornton Manor tailor personalised care to each and every resident and staff member and it shows in how really challenged, sick residents get the very best fun, life and quality out of their lives. From animal farm, crazy golf, dancing, games, baking days art and crafts are the icing on the cake of good all-round quality nursing care...and it helps the staff are slightly bonkers, in the very best way possible, as they are up for fun and games or quiet times as the residents need. So glad we found this place.

Very pleased with the care my mum receives at Thornton Manor, the staff are brilliant with her. They treat her as though she's a member of their own family, kind and considerate. The improvements made recently are great, she was even seen playing crazy golf. I can't wait to be able to go back and play a game with her.

My husband has been at Thornton Manor since last July. At first, I didn't want him to go there because of the travelling for me but I am so glad I made the decision for him to go there. They are all like my 2nd family now. Loving and caring, dedicated staff.

I'm 37 and had to move here from where I lived due to a stroke. All the staff are friendly, and I'm glad I came to this home. Staff include you in things, they are reliable and treat me in a way I feel safe. I would recommend to any family looking for somewhere.

My daughter receives excellent care and support here. The staff are caring and professional. The manager is almost always available and seems to constantly planning and implementing activities and projects to entertain and improve life for the residents. My daughter is happy there, and that is the most important thing.

Excellent.

The atmosphere and ethos is warm, safe and relaxed. I feel mum is receiving the best care possible, I no longer worry about her as I know she is in good hands.

A marvellous care/nursing home my wife is an iconic lady by name, she is treated just the same as the other patients/residents, having suffered a medical negligence accident, her memory, balance and everything, thankfully with very good care from Thornton Manor Care Home. She recovered 90 percent, it's taken 3 years. I've travelled 1000 miles yearly to support my wife at 84 years, it's very hard.
