We cannot thank Ashlyn House Care Home enough. The home is exceptionally well run, with management and staff who are friendly, professional, and genuinely caring.
From the very start, everyone was welcoming and made what is an emotional and daunting process feel calm, kind, and dignified. My grandma
arrived a few days ago, and the team were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to visit as often as we needed beforehand to set up her room and make the transition as smooth as possible.
This move caused many sleepless nights for our family, especially my mum. When I visited my grandma the morning after her first night, she said it was the best sleep she'd had in a very long time-which told us everything.
My grandma is 97 years young, old but gold. She's a very fussy lady (as she should be!), yet she's eaten all her meals and settled in beautifully. The residents are treated with dignity and respect, and the care feels genuine. I have huge respect for the staff and feel incredibly grateful
Reply from Kendra Bray, Group Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Ashlyn Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We're truly honoured to care for your grandma and to hear that she's settling in so well-especially that she enjoyed such a good night's sleep. Knowing we've helped make a difficult transition feel calmer for your family, particularly your mum, means a great deal to us. Your kind words about our team, the care, and the respect shown to residents are deeply appreciated, and we're very grateful for your trust.

Since arriving at Ashlyn Care Home, my mum has recieved so much care, attention and respect. She has been given a chance to flourish and feel involved in a care home. I've seen my mum have a routine and recieve the extra care she needs. Especially at nighttime. The carers are kind, caring and lovely
towards mum. The management are caring and understanding too. If I have any worrys or concerns they are more than accomodating. Ashlyns care home is a warm and friendly care home, which I would recommend.

I find Ashlyns Harlow a lovely, caring home. The rooms are small and not luxuriously furnished, however. Also, no view for my husband to look out onto.
But the entertainment for residents is very good. He seems happy enough but would like a bit more room, please.

I attended the family Christmas party and wanted to give all the staff a massive "thank you". Since October (when mum arrived) Ashlyns has been so caring and thoughtful to her needs. They treat her with care and respect at all times. The team are great and laid on a great day. The food was good, singer
good and atmosphere.

Clothes have issues lost, names put in clothes don't go to right persons a bit of a muddle going on in the launderette. Otherwise ok.
Reply from Kendra Bray, Group Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Ashlyn Care HomeThank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience hasn't fully met expectations. We always encourage any concerns to be raised directly with the Home Manager at the time, as she may not be aware if no other issues have been reported and can address them promptly.

We haven't come across these particular concerns before, though we do recognise that on occasion matters such as misplaced clothing or portion sizes can arise. When they do, they are resolved quickly, and we continuously look for ways to improve our systems and overall service.

We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as your feedback helps us enhance the experience for the people who live here and their families. Thank you again for your comments.

Our mum has been a resident at Ashlyns for nearly a year now. The whole of the team have been amazing since she arrived, kind, incredible friendly, patient and respectful.
The home is always spotless, with fresh flowers making it feel like home from home.
Communication with families is excellent.
The activities team do an amazing job getting everyone involved.
The chef makes sure they all have a great choice of dishes available.
As a family we cannot fault Ashlyns for our own peace of mind we know she is safe and well looked after and happy.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Absolutely awful. My husband suffered kidney failure, sepsis and pneumonia whilst on respite care. When he came ack to the home I went to visit. One day his clothes, face and hands were covered in food. I asked the person in charge to sort this, she said "I haven't been in the lounge today so I
haven't seen him." Final day he was there he was still in bed at 10am with a catheter full to bursting! I was told staff were "too busy" to empty the bag. My husband has only just been discharged from the hospital. The photos on the website look wonderful but all the time I was there, residents were just left in front of the TV. I saw very little in the way of engaging activities.
Reply from Kendra Bray, Group Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Ashlyn Care HomeWe are truly sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your husband's respite stay. We fully understand how distressing it must have been to see his health decline, and we appreciate how difficult this time has been for you and your family.
Please be assured that we have carefully reviewed your concerns in detail. Our records, as well as information from external healthcare professionals, confirm that your husband received attentive and appropriate care throughout his stay, with his medical needs addressed promptly.
We are deeply concerned that your experience did not reflect the high standards we strive to maintain. The claims described do not align with the quality of care we provide, nor with the many positive comments and kind feedback we regularly receive from residents and their families. Our team is dedicated to delivering compassionate, person-centred care at all times.
We would very much welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly, to discuss your concerns.

Coming from the experience that I had with my dad's care home in Enfield, I wasn't expecting much. And I'd also been informed that this was the cheapest of the care homes in Harlow, and that I should try to avoid it. Well, let me tell you, they were all wrong.
The home is fresh, nicely decorated and
clean. Pictures of residents on their coloured room doors is a lovely touch, as are the multiple visual and sensory additions that I never expected to see on walls and hanging from ceilings. There are all sorts of interesting things to see and do throughout the home and everybody - even the cleaning staff - all acknowledge you with a happy 'hello' without fail.
Mum's care, although too brief, was exemplary and attentive, and her passing was handled with respect.
I can't fault the building, care received or staff.
Highly recommended.
Reply from Kendra Bray, Group Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Ashlyn Care HomeThank you so much for sharing your experience. It's heartening to hear that your expectations were not only met but exceeded. Your kind words about the environment, team, and the care your mum received-especially during such a sensitive time-mean a great deal. Recommendations like yours truly make a difference.

When my mother-in-law, Peg, was admitted to Ashlyn care home - a move we had no real choice in - we were a bit worried that it may not be suitable as word of mouth led us to believe there were better places out there. But there was no need to worry, as it was a lovely place for her to stay even though
it was very brief. All staff were friendly and tried their best to get to know Peg and do all they could for her to make her comfortable.
The home is clean and interesting, with lots for residents to do and I have no problem with giving it my seal of approval.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After the most stressful year looking after my cousin who is only 62, the relief of knowing he is now safe, very well cared for and most importantly happy is a huge relief for everyone.
We wasn't sure how it would work out but with help from the staff my cousin is now settled in his new home , we have
made his room his own, nothing is too much trouble when I've asked.
He was very reliant on me with 60 or more calls a day even with seeing him daily , no more.
Ashlyn's is perfect for him, very clean, he loves the food and he is no longer lonely at any time .
All the staff are very helpful, the managers door is always open which for me is a must .
I understand that some days he may not be as happy but I know that having the care staff around 24,7 , will help with any worries he has.
Reply from Kendra Bray, Group Sales & Marketing Business Partner at Ashlyn Care HomeThank you so much for sharing this - it really means a lot to hear how well your cousin is settling in and how supported you all feel.

My mum has been a resident here for the last year. She always feels safe and happy. She loves the activities every day and will be in the lounge from first thing in the morning until bed time. My mum is very sociable and has made friends with other residents. The staff are amazing and my mum has nothing
but praise and affection for them. Her general health has improved so much from being in Ashlyn's and she is so much stronger than when she first moved in last year. As her daughter I couldn't ask for anything more than seeing my mum so happy living here & knowing she is safe

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
