Care Home Owned by Summit Care Group in West Midlands

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

it.
My mum's memory is a lot worse and she no longer remembers what meal content she has but I've asked others and they say the food is lovely which it does seem to be.
She is clean and happy. Does not want to leave there either so we are happy. Thanks to the staff.

Thank you to you all!

and I like it there so I will stay. We have always found staff to be helpful and supportive and very friendly. The care they gave was excellent, the home was always clean, it may not be a fancy modern building but when you walk in there it felt like home.
Thank you all at Ashbourne you are a credit to your profession.
