Review of
Laurel Bank Care Home
from Tina H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

We want to express our gratitude for the exceptional care and support given to our mum. Specifically keeping her clean, fresh and content with her personal care and dignity. We want to acknowledge the impact their work has on our mum's well-being and our peace of mind. Mum likes to watch entertainers,

singers and dancers but, little craft work even though they try to encourage her.
However, they take time to engage in conversation with mum and every resident, taking time with them. They welcome her family and they never discourage when we sometimes turn up at the same time in numbers. We did have concerns at the beginning of her residency, that she wasn't drinking. We want to thank management for turning this around. All staff care for all residents with respect and kindness. They are all angels and we love them.

Review of
Ashbourne Care Home
from Natalie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

When visiting my mom around 9:30, it appeared that she was still in bed, which was unusual for her. She had recently suffered a chest infection and had finished her course of antibiotics. So I was slightly concerned. I needn't have been because when I went to wake her, she got up as fresh as a daisy

and walked up to the day room with me, where staff were quick to serve her fresh tea and a bowl of porridge, which she ate all of. The staff explained she had walked a lot the day before, hence why she was tired and obviously, I know myself how demanding that can be for staff. I know my mom is happy, and that makes me happy.

Ashbourne Care Home
from D P (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Mom has been living in Ashbourne Care Home for nearly 4 weeks now. After a very difficult 9 months trying to manage her at home, with dementia, we had to make the difficult decision for a permanent placement. The staff at Ashbourne have enabled this transition to be a lot easier than we expected. From

the initial assessment to the first day taking her in, we have felt welcomed into the home by all members of staff. Mom has spent 5 weeks in another care facility this year, but has settled in more quickly at Ashbourne. So far, all members of staff have been found to be very caring, kind and attentive to her needs. We feel reassured that Mom is cared for and loved in her new home. Thank you, Ashbourne.

Ashbourne Care Home
from L A (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

I honestly don't have any words for how bad this care home is. The personal care of the residents is non existent. My nan has severe fungal nail infection since moving here and after numerous attempts to get them to get a doctor to prescribe something nothing has been done. She has also lost a front

tooth even though we have been requesting a dentist visit her for around 18 months. Simple things like rice pudding, cheese and crackers, olives, marmite are not provided, we have to take them in for her and even when we do they are not offered to her and she forgets she has them so they end up being thrown away. The activities are minimal so they are left to sit in their chairs doing nothing for a large portion of the day. Residents are taken to bed at around 6.30pm even when they don't want to go. No trips are ever planned and lockdown still exists here when they have cases of D&V even if residents don't show meaning they are made to stay in their rooms alone with no visitors. Disgusting!

from Louise B (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The staff are very friendly and approachable. I am aware that mom is difficult but I do get concerned about the lack of personal care at times especially the incontinence and mom gets very sore. Her room is a lovely size with a nice view, it could do with a lick of paint, and I also feel in recent months

the cleanliness has deteriorated due to low staff levels (domestic). Mom does seem settled though which I am very grateful for.

Review of
Ashbourne Care Home
from S B (Son of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad lived at Ashbourne for some time, and sadly, our experience was disappointing. We often had to chase up basic care, and ongoing medical issues weren't handled as we expected.

He was frequently moved around the sitting room, which deeply unsettled him, especially as he was blind and living

with dementia. Familiarity and routine were essential for his wellbeing, but weren't prioritised at all.
His room was sometimes left uncleaned for long periods, and hygiene standards fell short of what we felt was acceptable. Although some staff were kind, and Dad really liked the guy who did activities, overall care felt inconsistent.
We eventually moved Dad to another home where he now receives more stable, personalised care. He's much happier, healthier, and better supported.

We hope this review is taken as constructive feedback and leads to positive changes for those still living at the home.

from P S (Son of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

It is very difficult to wright a review due to the restrictive nature of your Review Policy, so anyone reading this please take into account, I am unable to accurately review this without any form of deformation, all I would say is please visit this place before allowing a family member to become a

resident, most residents are walking and talking so care for them is better, but if you are bed bound and in a confused state then ask to see the room they are likely to placed in. note the inactivity of the staff, I only came across one proactive member. I am unable to say any more than care is no the word I would use.

Reply from Davey Taverner, Marketing Manager at Whittington Care Home

Once again I'd like to give a big thank you to the home manager and all the staff at Ashbourne. I've recently been in hospital but had no worries over Mom. The home manager personally video-called me, as did other staff, so I could see Mom whilst I was poorly. Mom looks well cared for and they support

me so much. I can't thank them enough for looking after my Mom, the home manager makes my life easier, she's such a caring person. Please pass on my comments to the owners. I was so proud to see the awards for Ashbourne.

My mother has recently moved to Ashbourne Care Home following a hospital admission, she was unable to return home. All staff and management at Ashbourne have made the transition as easy as possible, they have been very patient and caring towards mum, even though her dementia can be quite challenging

at times. After 3 days she already seems to be settling in and is beginning to interact with the staff. It is all beginning to look more positive for mum after a long, difficult period so thanks to all at Ashbourne so far.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Commercial Director at Ashbourne Care Home
