Ambleside Residential Care Home

My grandad recently stayed for respite care and had a wonderful experience. The staff were attentive and ensured all his needs were met with kindness and professionalism. He really enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home, and he's already looking forward to returning for his next stay!

Our mum joined Ambleside in March this year. We were very pleased when we visited initially as we needed mum to have some respite following a chest infection when caused her dementia to deteriate significantly. We were very pleased with Ambleside's staff, and mum's health improvement so decided to make it permanent. A large room became available and she has now settled in. Just one negative is that important info isn't always relayed all staff.

My mum was coming to the end of her life, the care my mum received, during her journey was done with dignity and respect. A special thank you to the manager who worked quickly, to ensure my mum had a peaceful transition.

We as a family were welcome to come and this made us feel so much at ease knowing we could stay with our precious mum to the end.

During our mums stay she had many happy times, we visited our mum on a regular basis and we where always greeted by a friendly face and offered a drink. Any concerns we did have where dealt with. My mum was happy at Ambleside Care Home for 3 and a bit years.

I can't thank all of the staff enough for the wonderful care they gave to my auntie over the three years she was in the home. The staff showed so much kindness and understanding and nothing was too much trouble. I was very lucky to have found a care home full of wonderful caring people who made her stay as comfortable as it could have been.

Mum is well cared for by a team of friendly staff. She eats well and enjoys the food. Her room is comfortable and warm, and I am happy that she is in a safe environment.

My mother has been made very welcome, she is treated very well by staff and has a good rapport with them. I feel she is safe and well looked after.

Mum lived at Ambleside for over four years and I cannot praise them more highly. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food great, the overall ambience was good and there were regular activities - such as singing, painting, crafting etc.

As time moved on, mum struggled to understand what was happening to her and had mobility issues but she kept her sense of humour and the team adapted ways of working to keep her comfortable and content.

Sadly, mum died in July but the respect, care and warmth shown to mum - and to me - could not be faulted and I will be forever grateful.

The home seems very nice, warm, friendly staff and extremely clean. The residents appear well looked after.

Ambleside, fantastic copany, excellent staff & management. Focus on custoerm excellent, attentive, empathetic, helpful, caring.

My mum had been at Ambleside for 10 months now. She has settled in well and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Knowing she is safe and being well cared for means so much, especially after the guilt we felt when she couldn't cope any longer in her own home.

My mother has been a resident for 3 years now and is and continues to be cared for very well by the management and staff of Ambleside, which gives me great comfort as I do not live local. Their communication with me as her son is always very good.

My grandad stayed at the home for respite care during a really hard time for our family. The home made the transition effortless and he enjoyed his stay so much, he even considered not leaving! Thank you, Ambleside for your outstanding care.

My grandfather stayed at Ambleside whilst we prepared his room in our house. When I visited I was impressed with all aspects of the home - the staff were all friendly (including a gentleman who came by after his shift had ended to check on my grandfather before going home), the facilities were spotless and the room was nicely decorated and well kept. My grandfather was able to join in some activities, and the staff helped him maintain elements of independence whilst also making him feel comfortable. He enjoyed the food. The stay had the additional benefit of improving his mental health during a time of upheaval in his life.

Thank you to everyone at Ambleside for making his stay such a pleasant experience for us all.

My mum has been at Ambleside since April this year and she is very happy. The difference I have seen in her just makes me feel a lot more at peace with the fact that now her behaviour has changed for the better. Her care and surroundings are excellent. I feel a lot happier in myself instead of feeling guilty! Just knowing my mum is happier and safe means everything, so thank you all for all you do. I'll be forever grateful and I know Mum is too for the care she is receiving.

I love coming to visit my granny. She is very well looked after and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

Staff are kind, helpful and approachable. Lovely to experience how Mum has settled. Thank you to all who assist my mum in every way. Very much appreciated.

Communication is good and relatives are able to talk to their family members easily and visits are easy to arrange too. I thoroughly recommend this home.

How they introduced Mum to other clients and made her feel at ease.

My mum moved into the home eighteen months ago. We are very happy with the care given, the staff have lots of patience. There are lots of activities on offer, my mum tells us the food is good. When we visit we are always welcome, it’s always clean and tidy and communication with management is easy. My mum is very happy and settled.
