Review from Paul H (Son of Resident) published on 14 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been using Thorn Springs for several months for respite care. She is 94 and needs extra support, and time to relax and be looked after on occasion. Having visited several care homes and using one other, we have found Thorn Springs to be most suitable. Great rooms, excellent staff who always
offer support. A well publicised activities schedule each need from excercizes and Elvis paying a visit. Would recommend for short or long term care.

In the short time that my husband has been at Thorn Springs I have been pleasantly surprised at how well he has settled in + how quickly the staff got to know him. There is a relaxed but professional atmosphere + as a family were made to feel comfortable in making a cup of tea + using the various social
rooms. It was lovely to use the sky bar when family and friends got together + we often go to the garden room for a quiet chat together.

Mum has been made to feel very welcome at Thorn Springs. After living in her home for 89 years where she was born, it is lovely that she feels settled and now talks of Thorn Springs as her home. The staff are excellent, nothing is too much trouble and its peace of mind as a family that she is happy
and being taken such good care of. Dinners have been a bit of an issue but have improved since residents have been involved in meetings, excellent that their views are considered so highly. A big 'thank you' to everyone at Thorn Springs.

I became a permanent resident in July 2025. It was a good decision as I lived on my own. To no longer have the responsibility of running a home and feeling safe and in a friendly atmosphere was well worth the upheaval.

I would recommend Thorn Springs Care Home as the most caring, friendly home where the staff go the extra mile to provide a happy environment for all the residents. There is a wide range of activities and all the facilities are very nice and well maintained. You always receive a warm and friendly welcome

Review from Michael C (Husband of Resident) published on 25 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has Alzheimers' and became a resident at Thorn Springs last December. It was a very difficult decision to place her in a care home, but I am so pleased that I chose Thorn Springs.
The environment of the home is superb, it is spacious and well equipped. The rooms and the communal areas are very
comfortable. The food is good too. There is excellent planning of regular activities, including visits outside the home.
Above all the staff are fantastic - I cannot praise them enough. They are caring and supportive, both for residents and for families. Supporting someone with Alzheimers' can be very challenging, but my wife has always been cared for respectfully and kindly. Their concern has been to understand my wife, her difficulties, and how best to care for her.
I am a regular visitor, and I have seen that over the months she has been at the home, my wife has become settled and content. This is entirely down to the support the carers have given her.

My Dad has been at Thorn Springs since a decline in health and mobility following a stroke in December, and has absolutely flourished since moving here. He raves about the food and the entertainment, but most importantly he feels safe and happy and doesn't feel lonely living alone any more. I cannot
put into words how caring and thoughtful every single member of staff is. They really take the time to listen to any and all concerns and think outside the box when it comes to tricky solutions. The level of care is second to none. They really treat Dad as if he's part of a great big family here and we wouldn't have it any other way.

My mother has been a resident at this care home for 2 years now. On all my visits - regularly daily mostly - there is always a smile awaiting as you enter the home. The care is exceptional and the facilities are second to none. I have recommended this to friends and acquaintances and have helped a couple
who decided to opt for Thorn Springs, given my experience at the home, who decided on the home for their loved ones.

The home continue to provide top quality care for my father. Throughout his stay he has had superb support from the staff who really seem to want to go above and beyond to make their residents and the families visiting feel it's their home. The focus on care and quick resolution of any issues is first
class. They also seem to be able to give everyone some attention no matter how awkward some characters of this age / mental capacity can be! I for one have been so impressed and so grateful that we chose this lovely home for my father's final hurrah! My heartfelt thanks for all the support over a difficult period of emotional roller coasters for all involved.

My mum moved into Thorn Springs in September after being given a diagnosis of Altziemers and I am so pleased we found this home for her. The staff and carers really go above and beyond and nothing is too much for them. The home is very modern, clean, and has so many activities laid on for the residents
and the food provided is plentiful and tasty. There is always plenty to occupy my mum within the home if needed and if she just wants to chill in her room that's ok too. I highly recommend Thorn Springs and can see a noticeable change in my mum's mood and well-being since she has moved into Thorn Springs.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Thorn Springs is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.861 for Thorn Springs is calculated as follows: ( (248 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.861
  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 Thorn Springs is based on 24 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
