As a family, we are very happy with the care and attention that our father receives at Thorburn Manor. The surroundings are very well kept, clean and tidy and staff are very friendly and welcoming. Dad has now been a resident for almost 2 years and is very settled and content and his room
overlooks part of the garden which is very important to him as he spent a lot of his spare time outside. Wonderful care home and a pleasure to visit!

My wife went into Thorburn Manor Care Home due to dementia and mobility problems six months ago. The care home has an excellent ambience and she was made feel comfortable from the start with an efficient, stable and very friendly workforce. I have been kept informed of how she is doing by the staff
who have tolerated with good humour my frequent visits. She has a good room and there is excellent equipment to deal with her mobility problems. The home has made a difficult decision for my wife and myself to be apart after 60 years of marriage more tolerable to us both.

I find Thorburn Manor an excellent Care Home it has to be rated very highly in every aspect
It is a beautifully kept Home and the gardens exceptional.I like the fact that it is small and feels like a family.It has a calm peaceful atmosphere whenever you enter.The staff are excellent from
administration to nurses,carers.oddjob men gardeners kitchen staff and cleaners all willing to speak with you and keep you informed. They keep the staff no big change over which means a lot.There are plenty of activities and outings for those able and are very well coordinated.There are also many entertainments throughout the year.
I would thoroughly recommend Thorburn Manor to anyone looking for an excellent Care Home.

I can't thank the staff enough for all they do for mum. She has been in the home for close to 3 years now and at the age of 98 is limited somewhat but sees the home as her safe and happy place. Plenty activities to keep her stimulated, excellent one on one care and the home itself is a lovely
building and place to be with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy in the summer. The staff are great and keep mum stimulated as much as they can.

First impressions of Thorburn Manor continue throughout the Home from a beautifully maintained garden for the residents to enjoy with its pond and recently added waterfall and also the nine hole putting area.
Inside the lounge and dining areas on both floors are tastefully decorated allowing
residents ample choices to enjoy the ambience.
The individual resident rooms are of a very high standard and a maintained on a daily basis ensuring maximum comfort and cleanliness.
Breakfasts Lunches,and Evening meals are served in the two restaurants daily and the staff are there to ensure all are catered for
The Staff from the administration to the carers and the behind the scenes personnel are exemplary with an amazing dedication throughout.

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.

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.

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.
