The care and support have been outstanding, from the moment my dad arrived at Thornbury around 18 months ago.
Every member of staff is consistently kind, caring and incredibly helpful, not only to my dad but to us as a family. He has settled far better than we could have hoped and is treated with dignity and respect at all times. Communication is excellent, and visiting always feels easy and welcoming.
The home is extremely clean and very well maintained. We visited five care homes locally before choosing Thornbury, and it stood out immediately as by far the nicest, both in terms of facilities and atmosphere. The communal areas are excellent and, while my dad doesn't personally take part, there is a wide range of activities offered.
We feel very fortunate to have found Thornbury and have complete peace of mind knowing my dad is in such a caring, professional and well-run home. I would wholeheartedly recommend

The staff live the job! Not the other way around. This goes to say for care staff, seniors, management and housekeeping. Their compassion, friendliness, commitment and professionalism shown to my Mam and myself has helped to alleviate a lot of the pain and stress when placed in the incomparable position of choosing a care home for your loved one.
Whilst no establishment anywhere is perfect, changes are always implemented where required, they involve family members and listen to suggestions, it's not a one size fits all, everyone is treat as an individual!
Top and bottom, it's a happy, friendly place, even in the most difficult and challenging circumstances. It's the place I'm glad I found.

We feel very lucky to have not only found the perfect accommodation & care for my Mam but the level of support given to myself was second to none.
There aren't enough words to express how positive we feel about the whole experience particularly in times of stress.
My mam was always reluctant to consider being cared for in a residential setting , however she soon felt that this was her home & being afforded the best care from every member of staff . The staff have gone over & beyond in supporting & caring for us all , especially during palliative and end of life care for my Mam. The kindness , compassion, consideration, professionalism and friendliness of the staff have continually reassured us as a family that my Mam was happy and content. I wouldn't hesitate at all to highly recommend the care home to others .

My mam stayed in Thornbury just a short time but during that time I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and attention my mam was given, they are an absolutely professional team who make the time to ensure the residents are cared for in the way we all would want to be cared for, I don't have a single bad thing to say, only good. The final thing they did after my mam sadly passed away was beautiful, laying a single red rose on her bed, from all the family a massive thank you for caring for our mam.

Received a good welcome when transferred from the hospital and settled in quite soon. The staff were very helpful and cheerful, which certainly aided in my comfort and wellbeing and later discharge. Grateful thanks to everyone, which includes the laundry girls and also the 'building boys'!

My grandmother is a resident of this home, at first she was very unsure about going into a home especially during the Covid situation. Her fears were soon diminished as she absolutely loves it in this home. She said the home makes her feel really safe. She enjoys the company and interaction with the staff and other residents. She is really well looked after and looks much younger since she came to live here! Her room is really nicely decorated and she loves the food. She is entertained with lots of activities. The attention and care given to her is excellent and all of her family are happy that she is being looked after so well by a hard-working bunch of staff. Thank you for being great and caring for my grandma.
