I entered Thirlestaine Park Care Home in indifferent general health and slow-healing ulcers on both legs after bedrest for several weeks. I was impressed by the attention and kindness of all the cards, and the general cheerfulness of the whole house. Physio and support from the medical staff and carers
led to my independence in nearly all personal care. I have also felt able to undertake gentle gardening which cheered my medical and mental health.

My experience at Thirlestaine Park Care Home has always been positive. The staff are friendly throughout the home. The carers are kind and attentive, admin staff and management are helpful and the housekeeping team ensure the home is kept clean and tidy at all times. The rooms are spacious, warm and

My sister and I had to find help for our mother, who has dementia, quickly and calmly when our stepfather broke his hip and was in hospital for 3 weeks. The client services manager and the team at Thirlestaine Park House were all fantastic and came to the rescue with speed and kindness. I would have
no hesitation in recommending them.

Reply from Anna Satora, Home Manager at Thirlestaine Park Care Home

I am glad to hear we were able to provide support for you and your mother during such a difficult time. I do hope your stepfather has recovered well, and please know that you are all always welcome at Thirlestaine Park.

We are very pleased with the care my mother is receiving. The staff are caring and patient and do their best to meet Mum's complex needs. We are particularly pleased this year to see the improvements to the garden, which many of the residents enjoy, and the range of activities no available. Also, praise
is due to the kitchen, cleaning and maintenance staff who do a great job and are friendly to the residents (and visitors!).

Her stay has been most satisfactory. Her health has improved considerably after a start when she was very poorly. Staff have been excellent. Would recommend Thirlestaine highly.

I visited a few care homes looking for a suitable one for my sister, who had a progressive lung disease. What struck me immediately about Thirlestaine was the welcoming feel of the place, and particularly the friendliness of the staff. This was confirmed the whole time my sister was there. She was well
looked after and soon made friends with other residents with whom she enjoyed participation in meals and the daily activities on offer. Being on her own at home had become very difficult, and Thirlestaine provided company and care; it transformed her life. The handyman did a great job of hanging her many pictures the minute I delivered them, making her room seem more like home.
The nurses who looked after her were very caring, and there were support staff who would make the day seem better with smiles and laughter. I always felt that my sister was in good hands and that she was clearly content.
After she passed away, I felt sorry that I would have no cause to return to Thirlestaine!

I would recommend this care home to anyone wanting to place their loved one into a friendly, respectful and vigilant environment. This was my first time experiencing a care home environment where my mum needed nursing respite. The high level of attention and care, the welcome we received and the home-from-home
feeling, allowed me to not worry at all. The food was of a high quality and offered lots of choice. Two tiny things that would have made it exceptional would have been to have a wheelchair available at the entrance when I arrived with mum (coping with an extremely off-colour person, luggage and car parking by self was hard to navigate), however, one was found very quickly along with staff members who assisted! And the side rails on the bed were not fitted on the first night which meant mum slept in her chair - again quickly rectified early next morning. Mum came out rested, with renewed confidence. I wish an equivalent resource was available for carers to go to! Thank you, team.

Reply from Kevin Peck, Home Manager at Thirlestaine Park Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review, and we are glad that the concerns noted were dealt with promptly and efficiently. The whole of the staff team will also really appreciate your feedback about the quality of our care and dining experience in a truly home-from-home environment. One of our responsibilities is also to support family members and ensure that they have peace of mind about their loved one, so it is especially pleasing to hear that we provided that to you whilst your mum was with us. We hope that we can look after her again in the future should the need arise.

The care at Thirlestaine Park is second to none. Our mum spent an extended respite stay there and her needs were complex due to advanced dementia. The care staff are highly skilled and showed great compassion and kindness, not just to mum but to all of us as a family. Mum can become very agitated and
we saw how their approach to her enabled her to settle and feel calmer. They clearly promote independence and dignity in their residents.


From the first moment you enter to a warm welcome, through to all members of staff involved in the running of this beautiful home, you feel that you matter and they are always happy to help in any way they can.


The general atmosphere is calm and friendly The home environment is very clean, pleasantly decorated and well maintained. The food is well cooked with a thoughtful menu.


Placing a loved one into care is a huge and emotional decision and the care staff at Thirlestaine appreciate this and engender trust and confidence.


Reply from Kevin Peck, Home Manager at Thirlestaine Park Care Home

Dad came into Thirlestaine Park as a full-time resident in April this year after some respite care elsewhere. Although it took Dad a while to accept he had to be in care, once he settled into the routine and got to know everyone he is now very happy in his new home. The care he receives is wonderful,
the staff are all so very friendly, and management, admin staff, carers, hosts, and cleaners, all make this care home a very welcoming and happy place to be. Dad is kept clean and tidy, his room is lovely and he is very comfortable, nothing is too much trouble. After we took Dad out for the day last Saturday, taking him back later in the afternoon, he said he felt like he was going home. This makes me so much more relaxed knowing he is so happy and well cared for, and I would have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Thirlestaine Park.

We needed short-term respite care for my mother after a period of serious illness. Thirlestaine Park was welcoming, accommodating and took time to understand our needs. Everyone has been kind and supported my mother in settling, so much so that she has decided to stay permanently. The care, the food
and the rooms are all lovely and we are very grateful for the stress that the move has taken from all our lives.

I visit my mother-in-law infrequently as I live in Devon, but for the last week, I have been much more often while my father-in-law was ill.
The staff at Thirlestaine are friendly, helpful and caring.
The resident is treated, as it should be, as if this is their home. It is a friendly and welcoming
place.

I arrived at this home some seven weeks ago, in discomfort and distress and was quickly made to feel clean and comfortable. The staff were patience itself when I was in no way easy!
In two weeks this was all changed, nursing worked a big turnaround and weeks later I am beginning to walk again and
show general improvement. I highly recommend this establishment.

Thirlstaine Park Care Home has been absolutely amazing with the care of my grandfather after a bad experience elsewhere.
He has settled in well and always looks clean and well cared for.
I cannot rate the activities, as I don't think he has joined in yet. His rooms are immaculate. He enjoys the
food and the communication from the staff is excellent. They have done everything they can to make him comfortable. The home is run well and all his needs are met as required. It was a very hard decision to make, putting him into a home, but I am 100% happy with the standard of care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Thirlestaine Park Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.806 for Thirlestaine Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.806

  • 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 Thirlestaine Park Care Home is based on 18 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
