About Us
The home started out life as a manor farmhouse before becoming a hotel, and later a nursing home.
The home has changed many times over the years to meet the changing needs of its residents and the local community. Recently undergoing its biggest transformation yet including many major renovations.
We like to do things a little differently and are extremely passionate about our non-medical approach to managing challenging behaviour with dementia.
We have a strong focus on early intervention support techniques. This means we will never use sedative or relaxing medications to prevent residents from displaying challenging behaviour. We instead employ a range of techniques to address a wide range of needs.
We are a nurse led unit and are supported by our local GP who visits weekly.
Thornton Manor have developed a preceptorship programme for newly qualified nurses. This is to support their transition from student to Registered Nurse. We are keen to focus on recruitment and retention of high-quality nurses and to support our vision of modern-day adult social care nursing. We invest time heavily to support our nurses to enable them to develop, progress and provide excellence to our residents and staff team.
