Mum moved to this home 10 months ago from a previous home which was closer to family but which fell short on care and cleanliness
Moving to Bramble Lodge was like a breath of fresh air both management and staff are wonderful and make it feel like home the best they can

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Blackwell Care Home for over 3 years now and during that time we have seen both staff and residents come and go. The time Mum has been at the home both herself and us have been fully supported and listened to by management and carers alike.
Mum has been encouraged to be independant

but also helped and assisted when needed. As Mums condition worsens the staff are mindful and respectful of her advancing needs. All the staff really do seem to care, this being shown in their attitudes, communication and support they offer.

I could not be happier with the support and care that Ashcroft give to my Dad. He is really happy and settled there and the staff are excellent and really care for his needs. This gives wonderful peace of mind for our family. We cannot speak highly enough of Ashcroft.

Overall Experience

My wife was at Ashcroft for two months until passing away du to her illness. From the minute she was admitted the reception staff were so friendly & polite reassuring and any questions were answered swiftly. The staff on the floor were fabulous and when asked for help or assistance they dealt wtih it

swiftly and politely and used discretion all the time. Nothing was a problem and they always encouraged us to just ask for aid no matter what. They always offered me drinks & food as well as feeding my wife and got to have the most friendliest cleaner ever - nothing was a problem and she always went out of her way to help. A big thank you to the all.

Overall Experience

We visited Ashcroft prior to choosing this nursing home for our Dad's end of life care.
The home is modern, extremely clean & tidy & all the staff are very friendly & approachable.
Everyone speaks to you & makes you feel welcome.We felt part of a big family & we were able to relax, knowing Dad was

receiving the best care possible when we weren't there.
Dad was always clean & comfortable & if he wasn't(due to his condition),the carers/nurses rectified this immediately when aware. Dad particularly enjoyed the food which looked well balanced & nutritious.

We are so grateful for the care & patience all the staff have shown our Dad over the last 12 weeks.
We can't fault the service received & would have no hesitation in recommending Ashcroft to anyone needing nursing care. Our needs were fully met &,in our opinion they go the extra mile.
Thank you so much for making a difficult period more bearable due to the care & attention all the Ashcroft staff have shown our family & our dear Dad.

Hollybank House Nursing & Residential Home
from Angela M (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 March 2025

Overall Experience

My mum has been a resident since November 2024. She has dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. She has received the utmost care at Hollybank House and been treated with dignity and respect. She requires hoisting always and assistance in feeding. The staff are all kind and patient and speak to

her with great kindness. The home itself is beautifully clean and the food and drink very good. Families are made very welcome and kept informed of their loved ones circumstances. Events are arranged around special occasions which helps to provide quality time with mum. The home and staff let us have a lovely afternoon tea for mum and dad's 60th wedding anniversary. I couldn't ask for better care for my mum and for the support and friendliness we feel as a family in our time of need. Thank you Hollybank.

So wonderful! The activity coordinator was so kind and caring. It was lovely to see the wonderful animal activities and other activities that she has put together for all of the residents at the care home. The care home felt like a home away from home, with lots of love and support for everyone. Nothing

was as complicated or difficult to do when asked.
Thank you, everyone.

Staff are fabulous, caring and so patient with not only my friend but all the residents within the home, my friend is cared for in such an amazing manner! All her personal hygiene is fantastic! They have a hairdresser come in so that's always kept on top of. The activity lady is always doing their nails

in the sensory/nail bar For a period of relaxation, she offers a wide range of activities always keeping them busy if it's trips out, painting, armchair travel, pet therapy she's always busy with them and they are always happy. They have entertainment once a week, someone different every time keeping the residents entertained. The food is amazing the two cooks go out of their way to make outstanding dinners! Pudding is always my friend's favourite. Domestic is always doing a great job! No job is too big for them! Her room is always clean and smells lovely. Management is always happy to help if we ever have a problem. Overall if I could give this care home any stars it would 10! They deserve it!

Overall Experience

From the moment I first stepped into the home until the day my dad passed away, I felt confident that I could trust everyone to care for my dad the way we had. My dad said that he felt safe and well there and "the girls" were so kind to him, talking to him as if they had known him for a while. Also

listening to him even when his words held no meaning for them. Nothing was too much trouble and if he wanted to stay in bed, he could live his life as he wanted it. Thank you to everyone. You are all amazing and we want you all to appreciate how amazing you are.
