A lot can be said through our hands — a welcome, a goodbye, a friendly embrace, a playful gesture, a sign of affection, or just the delivery of a cup of tea. At Radius Thorneligh Park, we offer more than just an extra set of hands; we strive to improve your life at the stage you're at.
Just 4 km from the CBD, the care home has a brand new wing and is a single-level care home set in picturesque grounds with stunning landscaped gardens. We foster a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, making it feel like a second family.
Thornleigh Park offers rest home, private hospital with palliative and respite care in a modern environment.
OUR FOOD
Our kitchen prepares fresh, nutritious meals that are tasty and inviting.
There are three main meals and snacks throughout the day. The menu is on a four-week cycle and is designed with residents in mind and approved by a dietician.
Fish and chips on Fridays and roast lamb, pork, and beef are the most popular dishes. Special dietary requirements can be accommodated.
ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS
We offer an extensive activity programme that promotes self-esteem and personal fulfilment.
They aim to stimulate cognitive functioning, nurture their residents, and provide purposeful activities that result in full and enriched lives full of fun, laughter, and smiles. A focus is on being a part of our local community... which also includes our own Random Acts of Kindness club, which sees us delivering knitting, baked goodies and vouchers. This is a rewarding experience for everyone involved.
STAYING CONNECTED

Testimonials
| Compliment 1: My Husband has been a resident in your Thornleigh home for almost three years. I feel Thornleigh was part of his extended family. The staff and residents have been very kind in supporting myself and family. Compliment 2: Thank you all for your love and care of our Dad. Also for your support of Bet over the time Dad was a resident with you. We did appreciate all your kindnesses, understanding and friendships. It was a long and interesting journey at times. Thank you again on behalf of the family. |
