My step-dad moved into Ashfields early January 2026. The care he's received so far has been excellent in all respects. All the staff seem to be so positive, committed, professional and most importantly kind and patient, both to stepdad and to myself - everyone ranging from the hands-on nursing and care staff, to the chef/kitchen team, laundry room, entertainments team, cleaning, Admin office, Reception and the manager has been consistently superb - and have made the transition so much easier than I thought it would be. The home always looks and smells very clean. Menu choice excellent. Stepdad enjoys the food. Rooms are modern and bright. Visiting is very easy, and it has been lovely to see him clean and smartly dressed at every visit. Also, great to see him joining in with lots of activities and having a much better quality of life than he was having at home. Overall a very kind, and well-organised environment. Not the cheapest, but worth the extra. Thank you everyone there.

David was happy and well looked after during his prolonged respite care. He enjoyed being taken out in the minibus to visit shops and garden centres.

Hi, I have visited a couple of friends weekly in October and they find the care home excellent with most helpful staff. I too have found the staff all helpful and willing to help. As my married friends are fairly new residents it's reassuring that they have both settled in well. Excellent.

When we visit we find the staff very friendly and we find the home always clean and tidy. The staff are friendly to my brother and treat him well and he laughs and jokes with them which makes us know that he is cared for.
