Thornton Manor is a welcoming place. I appreciate the positive attitudes of the staff. The facility is clean and bright with a variety of activities. They get the residents outside as much as possible. After viewing several nursing care centers, this was at the top of the list.

Thornton Manor provided excellent care for my father, who was there ~3 years. The dietary supervisor, Cathy Mulholland, personally oversees that the production and delivery of the food is done with the highest level of quality and service. The Staff are courteous, caring, and professional.
