Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm surprised you find the weekends boring, you attended our evening event just last Saturday. We have spoken to you about the drinks for relatives in reception, they were reinstated a while ago. Regarding your bathroom, all of our ensuite bathrooms are wet rooms, one of our maintenance team will check everything is OK with yours.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We’re very sorry for your loss. We jointly decided to put him in the dementia unit as this has the highest staff-resident ratio and it was thought his needs warranted this level of care, and additionally it had availability of a large room which we agreed would be a good option. Upon investigation, we found one incidence of a fellow resident, on a short respite stay and confused with dementia, who had accidentally wandered into his room and urinated. This was addressed immediately with a carer staying with your husband overnight to help him feel settled, and then he was moved to a different unit the following morning. The police did attend, but were satisfied he was being well looked-after and correct procedures had been followed. Your husband was well-liked by staff at Town Thorns who did everything they could to support him through his illness. The care home manager would be happy to meet with you to discuss further.

Thank you for taking the time to post this review. We’ve looked into your mum’s situation and whilst I can confirm that it’s not possible to install a cordless phone for all the residents to use, your mother has both a mobile phone and an ipad so there are a couple of options for contacting her. Our IT department have looked into any possible internet issues at the home, and have found this to be working well so this shouldn’t affect contact between yourself and your mother.
Please be assured that we take great care of your mother, and working with her family locally, ensure all of her needs are met and that she is happy.

Thank you for your review and we’re sorry you feel that the experience at Town Thorns is less than it could be.
Your relative first came to Town Thorns following a hospital discharge and the first 3 weeks were spent assessing the level of care needed. Until this had been completed, we’re unable to confirm fees, hence the delay in providing this information to you.
Our care and other team members are committed to providing the best care to our residents and our Wellbeing and Activities co-ordinators provide a wide range of group and 1:1 activities so there is usually plenty for residents to do. Town Thorns don’t have in-house physiotherapists so this, along with hearing tests and wheelchairs is referred to external contractors which can, unfortunately, take a long time.
Apologies that the access passes are delayed, we will raise this with our facilities team.
We would like to investigate the other points raised so would be grateful if you could contact us.

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.604) out of 10 for Town Thorns Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.604 for Town Thorns Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (166 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 207 Ratings = 4.604
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 Town Thorns Care Home is based on 15 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 15 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.
