I was sent here from hospital 3 weeks ago. What a place this is. The rooms and all areas are lovely. The food is brilliant. Ive never really been a desert person but I have to eat them even if im full because they are so nice. Which is good because before coming in here i hadnt eaten properly for months.
Everyone, from the chefs, the cleaners, the management, maintenance, the nurses and the carers are so nice. They are friendly and they do really care. I wouldnt call this a care home because they all make me feel like it is my home. And I wouldnt call the people that work here staff because they feel like friends and family. Im so lucky to have been sent here.
If any of you reading this are looking for a home for yourself or family member, definately come and see here.
I dont know how BUPA chose their staff but BUPA however you do it dont change it. Everyone here is perfect for their jobs.

My Mum went into Ashley House for respite care in March and loved it so much she didn't want to leave!! Mum is thriving on all the social interaction and activities, she feels safe and secure and we, as a family, feel so relieved knowing that Mum is being well cared for and that she's happy. All the
staff are very friendly and professional and are providing a high level of care for Mum, for which we are really grateful. Thank you to the team at Ashley House!

Our experience of Elm Grove is excellent. The staff cannot do enough for the residents and sometimes come in outside their working hours to give extra care and support when my father returned from the hospital. The Chestnut Lodge manager stayed on well beyond her finishing time to see my father safely
return. My father has recently celebrated his 90th birthday. He was asked what he wanted for a special breakfast, and a member of staff brought in croissants and clotted cream on her day off. He was given a birthday balloon and made a special cake, and all the staff working on the day came and said happy birthday to him. We were also able to hold a party for the family in the front lounge of Elm Grove.
Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Elm Grove Care HomeThank you for your lovely feedback. We are happy to hear you find our home to be excellent.

I can't say enough about the staff and the management of Elm Grove Care Home. Mum is very well taken care of and it's obvious they go over and above for her comfort, her well-being and ever changing daily requirements. With being across the Atlantic, we try to do a video call once a week, sometimes
a challenge as Mum sleeps quite a bit and it's hard to coordinate a time, but the staff do their best. I am very pleased with the level of support and overall concern shown to my mum at the Elm Grove. My only concern would be the frequency of staff turnover. It's important that mum recognizes and is comfortable with consistent faces. Unfamiliar faces can cause trust issues and stress.
Reply from Natasha Burns-Leigh, Customer Service Advisor at Elm Grove Care HomeThank you for your feedback.

My mother and I were made most welcome on our introduction to Ashley House Care Home. Our first memory was the choice of food for lunch and dinner of that first day, and successive days, including breakfast. Introductions were made with all the staff, including management and nursing staff. The standard
of care of my mother received was of a high quality.

I cannot thank Julie and her amazing team of staff enough. This has been a special month for us, with Johns 90th birthday. A lovely cake was brought to his room with staff all singing 'happy birthday'. Also he was able to request a 'special breakfast' where he got the idea for clotted cream to go with
croissants, I'll never know, but what he wanted was what he got! Julie was then super helpful in facilitating a party for all the family, even coming in on her day off. Amazing memories for all of us. Thank you SO much.

I'm a resident of Ashley House for 3 years. I'm very happy living here. The staff are all very helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them.

The care given was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble. The staff surpassed the needs of my father in law, and the care and kindness shown to his family was wonderful and comforting. The activities are varied and well thought out. The accommodation is clean, and rooms are thoroughly furnished
with furniture to meet the needs of the individual. Overall, I cannot recommend Ashley House enough. They are outstanding in every way.

I was particularly impressed when my husband developed a very high temperature. His temperature and blood pressure (very low) were carefully monitored, and when condition became worse, he was quickly rushed to hospital. After his condition was stabilised after 3 days, he returned to Elm Grove to a very
warm and caring welcome - I cannot rate the staff too highly! They are brilliant!

It was Mums 91st birthday on Monday, I went and spent most of the day with her. The staff were so kind, popping into to wish her a happy birthday, a cake was made for her, and a number of the staff came in to sing Happy Birthday.
Mum said it was her best birthday in 90 years.
Such a great care
home, I would highly recommend it.
