Ashcroft Care Home
from J P (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has settled in here really well, my family and I are really pleased. She enjoys spending time in the living room and joining in with the activities, listening to the music and especially bingo, which she has always loved.
The staff are approachable and are all friendly and professional, nothing

is too much trouble, they have ordered extra equipment for Mum to make things easier for her which we really appreciate. Mum is very well cared for, in fact, she looks really well. We enjoy going to see her and spending time with her when we visit.

Ashcroft Care Home
from Martyn P (Son of Resident) published on 6 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A well-managed facility, staff are well motivated and take time to go the extra mile to make a difference. The staff know the people in their care as individuals all with different needs and motivators. The home has a very relaxing atmosphere, with a good space outside for the summer days.
On occasions

throughout Mum's stay, I have had meals with her and enjoyed the food.

Review of
Ashcroft Care Home
from Stuart R (Son of Resident) published on 9 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum moved into Ashcroft 7 weeks ago. From the outset, from the manager visiting Mum in her former care home to assess her, to the present, staff have been caring and supportive to Mum, my sister-in-law and me. They have quickly gained knowledge of Mum's background, family history and interests. The

'what about me' document is a useful tool. I feel 100% satisfied with Mum being looked after at Ashcroft and feel able to visit when I want. I would 100% recommend Ashcroft to others.

Review of
Ashcroft Care Home
from Richard F (Son of Resident) published on 1 December 2022 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mother, who was suffering from Dementia, came to stay at Ashcroft from April 2022 until her death in September. I chose Ashcroft after a very welcoming experience from my initial phone enquiry, through to my visit to the home and a tour of the building and its facilities, meeting various members

of staff in many different roles who each explained how things were done at Ashcroft. After a terrible experience at her previous respite care home, I was ultra cautious when choosing where Mum was going to live, and I continued to keep a very close eye on how she was looked after during the whole of her stay. I am pleased to say that the initial good experience at Ashcroft continued until Mum died in September. The nursing staff were particularly on the ball with her medical needs, and every carer was compassionate and helpful. I visited Mum every day, and the level of care she received at Ashcroft far exceeded what I have seen at homes which are more expensive with higher CQC ratings.

Ashcroft Care Home
from S L (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The staff show a lot of care for my mum. I have had to raise concerns regarding hygiene and low staffing but the current manager was approachable. Mum's records are always up to date and meals are of good quality. They often have activities for residents and families are invited to join. They do need

to address staffing numbers but those there know and care for Mum's needs.

Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Executive at Ashcroft Care Home

Thank you for your comments about Ashcroft Care Home. We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback and letting us know how we are doing. We have acknowledged the concerns you have, and improvements you have suggested to better the home. In regards to low staffing, like for most providers in the sector, it's taking longer than we would like to recruit permanent colleagues but all of our team are dedicated to ensuring our residents are safe and happy. If you would like to discuss any concerns directly, please reach out to us at the home. Thanks again and best wishes.

Ashcroft Care Home
from Dorothy W (Niece of Resident) published on 18 August 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My aunt has been with you for a short period of time. In this time the staff have been very helpful and friendly to me and my brother. The care and attention they have shown to her is excellent, her only complaint to us is they give her too much food. Her general condition since being in their care

is second to none and she looks much better in her general appearance and health than she had for the previous 6-7 months prior. Because she had started to self-neglect and would not allow us to assist her as we would wish.

Overall Experience

The staff at Ashcroft have a very good understanding of my Aunties needs, they have made her feel welcome, safe and settled and at home. My Auntie doesn't always like to take part in activities but is always encouraged and made to feel part of what's going on. When I have visited the staff are always

friendly and helpful and always happy to answer any questions that I may have. The home is clean and comfortable and pleasantly decorated and both rooms that my Auntie has occupied have been the same, both clean and freshly decorated, the meals that I have seen have always looked good and wholesome. I feel happy to leave my Auntie in the good hands of the home.

Overall Experience

The wonderful staff always take such good care of Dad and he is very happy and settled there. I had a slight problem, nothing to do with his care and the manager and owners sorted it out right away and kept me informed. I recommend the Gables if your loved one needs a genuine, caring home that really

does feel like a family.

Ashcroft Care Home
from Marilyn T (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 December 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My father-in-law was accepted last year around October 2020. From the moment he was there we noticed a change in him, he became settled and happy. The staff were very attentive to his needs in all areas during this difficult time up to the end of his life. When my father-in-law passed away we went to

see him at the home, he was wonderfully presented, clean, and dressed with dignity. All the staff at the home are a wonderful team working together and supporting each other in all areas of the nursing home. We would recommend this home to friends and family.

Reply from Olivia Shields, Marketing Assistant at Ashcroft Care Home

Thank you, Marilyn, we appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Ashcroft Care Home. We are so sorry to hear about your father-in-law but are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectations and treated him with dignity and the compassion he deserved during his time at our home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority, so it is rewarding to hear such kind comments about our team. If there is anything more we can do, please do not hesitate to reach out.

The Gables
from Granville R (Son of Resident) published on 15 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

A comfortable home, not too large with a homely environment and good care given by staff who have worked extremely loyally during difficult times.
My mother has been a resident for five years, and recently all furnishing have been upgraded to a high standard.
Residents are encouraged with activities

suitable to their abilities and enjoy these.
Food is good and residents have regular meal times.
I live many miles away and recently have been unable to visit very frequently. Staff are conscious of keeping me informed and helping with communication with my mother.
I feel confident she is well cared for and loved by staff.

from J S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My grandmother was a resident of this home and I wanted to say how much I appreciated how well she was treated well. The staff ensured that she was treated with the utmost kindness and dignity. The food was delicious and lovely and they had things to do at the home. I understand that there was a new

manager in place and new owners and they were keen to ensure that everyone was very happy and that they were focussing on refurbishing this home to make what was once a dated home to look really nice and modern. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a fantastic service.

from Gayle M (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Never since my mum has been in care have I more needed to be able to trust the people who look after her. Currently, in the middle of lockdown, we are unable to visit mum. It is a testament to their compassionate, hard-working, dedicated staff that I know that we can relax in the knowledge that she

is receiving the best care possible. I phone up and they are full of news about Mum, optimistic, friendly and helpful. Despite the dreadful and worsening situation for care homes generally, most of the staff are still at work and still as kind as ever. We know how hard things must be - thank you all of you at Ashcroft. God bless you all.
