Overall Experience

My friend went into Thorburn Manor following a sudden bereavement and deterioration in her own health. From the start the staff were reassuring and kind to both her and to us. I was also reassured to know that many of the staff have been there a long time and still seem enthusiastic in their roles. The staff have not been fazed by the difficulties my friend has had settling in showing a tremendous degree of knowledge, professionalism and care for her during this time.

Thorburn Manor lay on a high tea in the library for residents and family members. The tea was delicious and the setting was so festive! This was a really lovely touch, thanks, and was much enjoyed by all.

Review from Bruce C (Son of Resident) published on 22 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Sadly my mother passed away this week after only seven months in Thorburn Manor. From first to last she had the most amazing care from each and every member of staff. When she went in she had acute nursing needs which meant that the admission process had to be accelerated and the staff went that extra mile making us feel nothing would be a problem. This continued throughout her time in Thorburn. I cannot believe there can be a more caring staff anywhere. We will be forever grateful for the support and compassion we were shown in her final days.

Reply from Sean Black, Director at Thorburn Manor

Thank you for letting us care for your mother. We appreciate the review. I hope you are all well at this time. Best regards.

Review from Jim S (Husband of Resident) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My wife spent her last year in Thorburn Manor after having a major stroke three years previously which left her paralysed down one side and doubly incontinent. Having nursed her at home myself for three years with the help of visiting carers I was a little nervous about placing her in a home.
However, Thorburn came highly recommended by someone who regularly attended there and sure enough, from our initial visit onwards, the staff could not have done more to make her comfortable and as active as possible.
Even at the end, the staff provided a supportive and sympathetic atmosphere which made the process bearable.
So to summarise Thorburn Manor is somewhere that I highly recommend. It has bright modern facilities in a welcoming building with amazing staff.

Thank you with all my heart.

Overall Experience

The staff are amazing my mother-in-law is very happy the place is very welcoming and clean, my aunt used to be a resident here at Thorburn as well 10 years ago. My mother-in-law has been in the care home for 9 years and though she has difficulty communicating, she communicates her satisfaction non-verbally.

Dad looked after very well. Allowed to stay mostly in his room which is his wish. He seems to enjoy the food. He has been here nearly 3 years without having any issues. The gardens and putting green are very nice in the summer.

Review from J C (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother has been looked after at Thorburn for one year. It is a lovely home. The building is light and airy with a lovely garden and a putting green. It seems like a hotel. The food is impressive with different menus. My mum has a clean room with an en-suite bathroom. The staff are very caring and professional and always smiling. They greet us and my mum by name and keep us up to date with what’s happening. They are so patient with her and know exactly how to manage her. Walking is very important for Mum and she is taken out whenever possible. She is safe. There is an extensive programme of activities and entertainment, including live musicians singing Scottish songs. We are often treated to tea and cakes. The local GP comes in weekly and any issues have been sorted. There is a hairdressing salon in the building which Mum appreciates. I am very happy with my mum’s care. When the time comes and I need care I would choose Thorburn.

Review from Ian C (Husband of Resident) published on 7 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I have found the atmosphere within the home to be warm, welcoming, and quite anti-institutional in it's design and décor. The facilities are first class and this is backed up by the superb staff. I have yet to walk into the home without receiving a warm welcome and smile. This transfers to the care my wife is receiving and I know she is very well cared for by each member of staff which provides a great comfort to me. There is a very varied programme of activities although my wife is only able to be involved with some of these, they do cover the opportunity for all residents to be involved in as many as they are able.

Overall Experience

My husband and I have just had the most beautiful Christmas tea with my dad in the gorgeous library. We were so impressed last year and this year was equally impressive. The food was delicious, I think that dad's favourite bit was the trifle! All of the team at Thorburn Manor are so caring and attentive and I know that my dad thinks the world of them. From us as a family, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the kindness you show to dad and us. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas

Overall Experience

Mum has been in Thorburn Manor now for over two months. She's settled in so well and seems very happy, which is so reassuring for myself and my brother and sister. The staff have been so caring and patient with her. She's enjoyed all the activities they do on a daily basis, including a trip on the canal barge and carol singing in Morningside. We just had a fabulous Christmas afternoon tea today with lovely sandwiches and cakes. All I can say is a big thank you to all staff.
