Thorndale Care Home is a purpose built residential home which opened in December 2007 and is situated within a residential housing estate on the outskirts of Kettering Town Centre. The home is registered to care for up to 60 physically frail older people including people living with a diagnosis of dementia. The care of the individual is our highest priority and our residents privacy and dignity is at the very heart of our philosophy. Our fully qualified and dedicated members of care staff provide the very highest standard of care to our residents 24 hours a day. The home is set out over three floors on each there are twenty en-suite bedrooms, two lounge diners with small kitchenettes, bathrooms with assisted bathing equipment and shower facilities. There are two passenger lifts that provide access to all floors.

Moving into residential or nursing care can be a difficult decision but is often necessary for older people who can no longer manage on their own or with the help of relatives, friends or other carers. But in Shaw care homes our friendly professional staff are trained to make the transition hassle free and ensure that independence and the key components of daily living are maintained as much as possible. We aim to provide you with choices - over your personal care, what and when you eat, whether you want some peace and quiet or to join in a range of social activities. All this is provided in homely and comfortable surroundings - and with your own private bedroom. There are two types of care home, those which provide personal care only and those which also provide nursing care. All homes provide meals, laundry service and personal care such as help with washing, dressing, general mobility and day-to-day tasks. Nursing homes provide all of these services but additionally they employ registered, trained nurses who are able to provide health-related care. Government assistance with the cost of this nursing care is available to everyone and is not means-tested.
