Enjoyed a great afternoon tea with Helen a friend and work colleague . We have known each other for over 50 years and her daughter Carol is my Goddaughter. Carol was my flower girl in 1971. The chef prepared Lovely food which was a beautiful presentation and
staff, as always, very welcoming.
I
always enjoy my visits and often there is great entertainment in the lounge.

Dad is very well looked after by Thorburn Manor. He has a lovely room with a large window which suits dad as he spends most of his time in there. There is a large range of activities and entertainment for the residents and a beautiful festive tea in December. The staff treat dad with kindness and
respect, ensuring he is comfortable, well fed and hydrated. The home is always clean and very well maintained, beautifully decorated at certain times of year, to suit the occasion. They even organised a spectacular Diamond Anniversary party for mum and dad last year. Thank you, Thorburn Manor, dad and his family appreciate all you do.

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.

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.
