Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On arrival we were made welcome and every effort made to settle wife into her surroundings. All staff are helpful, polite and treat you with dignity. Every effort is given with a smile and nothing is too much trouble.

Review from C S (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at the home are all very friendly and accessible to discuss any worries. They are very attentive to the residents and treat them with respect. The lady who runs the activities and makes the tea is a very special person. She arranges games etc for the residents and they seem to have a great
time. I'm always greeted with a smile. Another person I think is in charge of the carers has her own office is very helpful if you need to discuss anything with her. On the whole, I am very satisfied.

Review from C W (Son of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum moved to Thorn Park in December; she is 98 years young, does not have dementia but has certain mental health problems and is profoundly deaf. She is well aware of her surroundings and can pick up on anything that’s not to her liking (so a difficult patient to say the least. It took Mum some time
to come to terms with her new home and to settle, and at times would become frustrated and find small things to complain about. The care home staff took the matter in hand by making her feel extra special and giving her help and support, and going that extra mile to please (thank you). I would have no hesitation in recommending Thorn Park to anyone looking for residential care for a loved one.

I am a neighbour who visits a lady who I checked on twice a day when she lived at home, as she had nobody else. The staff are great, very helpful and the service is good. The lady I visit is happy being there and I visit about three times a week.

Review from Gordon M (Partner of Resident) published on 18 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The care home is well looked after and in good shape. The staff appear to be good at what they do. Also, very good to the residents but perhaps if one or two extra staff could be employed it would make life a bit easier for the others. The food is very good, with a good selection. My partner has been
a resident for six months but on observation, the working of the home is very good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited our friend on Friday the 9th of July, where we found her happy, clean and well cared for. She seems to have settled very well in the home and says that the staff are lovely. I cannot answer all the ratings as she has only been there a few months and only being a friend are not applicable
to me.

I have always found Thorn Park care home to be a very lovely place. It's not too big so it gives you a family feeling. The staff are amazing, very caring and work so hard. Activities are very good. A great home, staff and management.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are always very polite and caring. My husband always appears to be well cared for, and personal hygiene is attended to appropriately. The activities lady is excellent at keeping the resident stimulated and entertained. As with many care homes, the problem arises with the care of hearing aids,
involving general care and use. This is so important with elderly residents who have a hearing impairment.

Current Review Score: 7.3 (7.302)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.3 (7.302) out of 10 for Thorn Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 4.167 for Thorn Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (4 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.167
  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 3.135 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thorn Park Care Home is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.135
  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.
