My dad has had the most wonderful care during his weeks respite stay. "Everyone is so kind, they can't do enough for you" these were his words. The food was great, lots of entertainment and things to do. Very kind staff at all times, day and night. As visitors, we were made so welcome. Lots of smiles,
tea and biscuits.

First impressions are important and I am pleased to say that when coming to the care home it is always spotlessly clean, tidy and warm. The reception staff are excellent and like everyone employed prepared to answer any questions and give advice.

The home has just been refurbished to a very high standard although the room where my mother is could have had a little more attention. The staff are professional, kind and efficient. Maybe at times, some areas are a little understaffed. Recently my mother reached 100 years and the home put on a wonderful
afternoon party for the residents with a singer. The only criticism is that medical follow-ups could be a little more stringent.

I have visited a number of care homes and hence really appreciate the care given in this home. The staff - from the friendly, well turned out receptionists through to the carers are a delight.
I have attended three exercise classes which are excellent and even the visiting class trainer knows all the
names of the residents.
There are activities every day, live singers, visiting farmyard animals, flower arranging, even a boat trip.
These people really care for the residents, extra cups of tea, more toast, etc.
Please pass on my congratulations.

My 96-year-old mother came to Thameside in early July and has not stopped smiling! Prior to this we researched and visited the care home and we were always met with openness, enthusiasm and professionalism. From the moment she moved in, all staff made her welcome, answered her health care and social
needs and ensured they are met. All the staff have been outstanding and we know she is happy, well cared for and safe with her new Thameside family.

The regular carers are very kind and compassionate. My mother took a while to settle in but having been in Thameside for over a year now she seems happy and settled despite her dementia. It was a very difficult decision to move her from her own home but it was definitely the right one. The food is good
and all the staff are kind and friendly.

My mother stayed at Thameside for five weeks prior to a hip operation. She has dementia and can be forgetful. The staff at this care home are wonderful. They are all friendly and upbeat and give the residents quality care and attention. The home is divided into small units, with their own dining rooms
and lounges, giving a more intimate feel. There is a weekly sheet of activities like river walks, animal petting, bino and sing-alongs. My mother required some special treatment prior to her operation and this was added to her care plan and executed without any fuss. The decor is a bit tired, but I was told it is due to be redecorated in the new year.

I have found Thameside to be a wonderful care home. The staff are very kind, helpful and loving. Nothing is too much trouble, the rooms are light and airy, the food is good and there is plenty of activities. My aunt has been at 2 other home now I wished I had moved her here first. She has started to
smile and when asked if she is happy her reply is "very".

The whole atmosphere of Thameside is happy and welcoming at all times. I am confident that my husband is being well cared for. Everyone is dealt with equally regardless of their disability and the staff seem to support each other cheerfully (not always seen in other establishments). I look forward to
my visits to Thameside and would be happy to reside there myself all things being equal.

My husband has been in the care of the wonderful staff at Thameside now for 3 months. It is hard to put into words the sense of relief for myself and our 3 sons to know that he is being cared for in such a friendly and compassionate place. We visit him often, but not at set times and on no occasion
have we ever found a reason to be less than happy with what we see. Thameside is a cheerful, positive, spotless and nice smelling place with a genuine welcome to visitors and kindness and patience shown to the residents. The meals are tasty, varied and plentiful. But, overall, it is the staff that make the place such a success. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. Thank you.

My brother has Parkinson's and had been a resident for just over 2 years.


Earlier this month, he was in hospital twice and was very, very unwell. He was discharged back to Thameside, much to our relief and greeted by banners and all the staff.


Their care immediately was perfect, we had meetings

with them about the way forward and everything has been implemented. My brother feels safe, happy and at home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Thameside is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.820 for Thameside is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.82

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thameside is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
