Ashling House

My Husband was well cared for in this home from home, by caring staff and management that runs a nice home, I hope next time visiting will be allowed in his room and anytime visiting can take place. But apart from that I’m very thankful for a home that cares, is pleasant and is so clean. Thank you to everyone who works in Ashling House.

First off, this is not a "care home" it is a home where there is care, warmth and empathy. The people who work here regard everyone as individuals. It is small and the residents here have different reasons for being here but it feels like a group of friends.

Our Mum had dementia and Alzheimer's. She had lost weight and was quite poorly when we brought her here three years ago but her health and engagement improved noticeably due to the care she had.

When we arrived, Mum and myself were reassured and when I returned later, Mum was settled. Over time Mum's anxiety, Alzheimer's and unsteadiness increased. The interventions used to help mum were informed, creative and communicated well, they helped her adapt to the way she needed medications, ate and slept.

When mum passed it was dignified and without pain, in comforting surroundings. The sense of warmth from the team and residents made it clear that this was the best choice of care for mum we could have had. We'd highly recommend.
