A wonderful selection of high tea choices, the prosecco was a nice surprise, staff and service was outstanding. Thank you to the chef for all the Xmas touches and lovely food. The library venue is great setting, very tranquil.

We joined Dad for a Festive Afternoon Tea and were given a very warm welcome at the door....as always! We were shown to the wee library where the table was set and ready for us. Afternoon Tea was wonderful! The staff popped in and out to check in with us and the food was fabulous! We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Dad and he had a marvellous hour or so with us. Well done Thorburn!

Our parents are both in the first year of living in the Manor. During this time we have been impressed by the care and understanding of individual needs and the specific requirements of both. They enjoy the activities,especially the keep fit.

Beautifully kept home and gardens. Fabulous caring, friendly staff many of whom go the extra mile to care for my mum and support the whole family Lovely, cozy well appointed bedrooms Residents really enjoy visits from local children, therapy dogs and external entertainers for music and exercise.

I am confident in the care my Mum receives at TM. Apart from the occasional communication slip up, the operation in excellent. My Mums needs are well understood by staff she knows and who know her. The medical support available is an important feature which works well in my experience.

We are very happy with the care given to our mother at Thorburn Manor. She is well looked after and all her needs are met. It's great having easy access to an excellent hairdresser at the home in addition to many other services on offer.

Mum moved to Thorburn Manor nursing home in September, and whilst her health was fading, we feel she found a peaceful, welcoming abode there and we are grateful to all the lovely staff for their steadfast support for mum. Thank you so much for your wonderful care and the kindness you have all shown to Mum and to us during her stay.

I have only positive experiences with Thorburn Manor. I am very satisfied with the care and find the staff excellent. It is always kept to a high standard of cleanliness and is beautifully appointed and the gardens are a pleasure to be in and a lovely place for residents in the summer to sit out in such a peaceful setting. I find it nice being a small home and everyone is so friendly.

Staff are excellent and the home is well maintained. Daily activities each morning enjoyed by all. Regular trips also take place but with no pressure to attend. Gardens round the building at Thorburn road are well maintained with lots of seats should you wish to sit outside.

Dad is very well cared for. All the staff are caring and friendly which gives us the comfort that any issues Dad may have are dealt with professionally and compassionately. We get regular feedback and constructive interaction relating to Dad's care. Being a smaller home there is a real personal feel throughout.

I visited a friend today at the care home, a beautiful place. The staff was very welcoming and made me feel welcome the home. Absolutely beautiful and was very impressed. I give the home 10 stars - very impressive care home my friend gets the best quality care in the care home and the staff are superb.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Staff very nice. Facilities good. Continually keep family up to date. As a family, we are very happy with the care given to our parent. A caring environment. Activities are geared towards the age group in the home.

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.
