When our Mum first moved into Thornhill House, I was naturally anxious about how she would adjust. From the very first day, the staff made both of us feel welcome, respected, and valued. They took the time to learn about Mum's history, her quirks, and the little things that make her smile. The level of care she receives is truly outstanding. The team are attentive without being overbearing, while always being on hand when needed. They treat her like family, not just a resident - and that's something you can't put a price on. The home itself is warm, clean, and inviting. The recent redecoration has freshened up the home making it look more like a hotel than a care home. Activities are varied and engaging, from music afternoons to gentle exercise sessions. Communication has also been excellent. I'm always kept informed of any changes in her health or routine, and the staff are approachable and happy to answer questions. It's reassuring to know she's in such capable, caring hands.

When choosing a care home for my mother-in-law, we wanted the very best - and Thornhill House stood out immediately with its highest possible rating from the CQC. From the moment we visited, we were impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and genuine compassion of the staff. Every team member treats her with dignity, kindness, and patience, creating a safe, homely environment where she feels valued and respected. The home is spotless, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for comfort and accessibility. Meals are delicious and tailored to residents' needs, and the wide range of activities keeps her engaged, happy, and socially connected. Communication with families is excellent, giving us complete peace of mind. We've seen such a positive difference in her quality of life since arriving at Thornhill House. It truly deserves its outstanding CQC rating for Caring and is a shining example of what a care home should be.

Dad spent the last 2 years of his life at Thornhill House and the care he received as second to none. The staff went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and safe as his dementia worsened. Everything is centred around the residents needs from the food to entertainment to activities which makes for a happy lively atmosphere. Dad's funeral left from the home and the service was so moving and personal - very special.

Absolutely the best care home for the resident. I am the carer of her brother and we love visiting her. Everyone is well looked after and happy, full of energy and life. 1000% recommended the manager and his team, brilliant place

My Grandma was in Thornhill House from January 2025 until she passed away in April. The staff at Thornhill House, as a whole are absolutely fantastic. Nothing was ever too much, whether it was for my Grandma or for my family. My Grandma's death was sudden, although she'd been battling with her illness for a while before she went to Thornhill I never saw her as happy as I did when she was there. Thornhill is truly a home away from home, they make you feel at ease, offer emotional support, aswell as maintaining a professional relationship with their service users, residents and their families. I cannot thank them enough for making the last few months of her life enjoyable under the circumstances, even now she's gone myself and family still have a friendship with those at Thornhill House and that says everything about the care they put into what they do.

My dad passed away at Thornhill on 28th June 2025 following a long battle with dementia, He moved into Thornhill in September 2023 for restbite whilst mum was battling cancer and sadly passed away in October 2023,dad never came out of Thornhill. The love and care he received at Thornhill was unbelievably good both professionally and personally. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We worried wether he would settle but he did very quickly and became one of the characters thanks to the staff, Most people think they have to die before they meet an angel but dad didn't have to wait he met his angels long before at Thornhill Can't thank them enough and will be eternally grateful

I cannot praise the staff who have cared for my dad enough not only in the last month but for his entire time there. The care, support, fun, love and dignity they have shown is nothing short of amazing. The staff always go that extra mile to make everyone's day treating all as individuals and knowing the likes and personalities of all the residents. They do remarkable work in what at times can be an emotional and stressful job

I cannot honestly believe how good this care home and staff are. My father has been in for respite a few times and it has been an incredible experience. The whole atmosphere is clearly family based and person centered with all the staff literally like family, many of which have been there many many years. I am so throughly thankful for everything everyone has done for me and my family and words just aren't enough.

What a wonderful home. The staff are all amazing, it's like one big happy family with lots of love care and fun had by all. I have seen other family members in care homes and whilst they were all great there's just something special about Thornhill House that always puts a smile on your face when you go. Keep up the good work that you all do. To see the resident I know so happy and safe means the world to me and her family so thank you from the bottom of my heart, you're just lovely.

All families are informed of any changes taking place and are always included in everything that is happening. They are truly wonderful human beings.
