My mum has been a resident at Astell House since mid-2025. I have been hugely impressed by the care she has received since day one. The staff are fantastic - they are as friendly and helpful as they could be and I have always seen them treat the residents with warmth, understanding and genuine...
In short, I would recommend Astell House for anyone looking for a care home for an elderly relative.
The staff are very attentive and helpful and supportive in helping my father to settle into the home. He tells me the food is top notch and the staff very helpful. The management have been helpful in accommodating our needs and time lines.

As I live in Yorkshire, I do a lot of video calls with Mum and the staff are only too pleased to set up Mum's tablet. Everyone is so helpful. When I do visit we are always asked and provided with a cup of tea. If we are there lunch time we always asked to have lunch. On my last visit they provided a guest room (which was very clean) and provided supper and breakfast. The home is so clean and the staff are always kind and courteous, nothing is too much trouble for any of them. Mum is so relaxed and comfortable with all the staff. Such a great happy and loving atmosphere.
Thank you so much for your kind review. I am so appreciative of your comments, it's always a pleasure to hear we are providing a good level of service. I am so pleased your Mum is settled and comfortable. I will pass your comments to the team.
Many thanks to you all.

My friend has now been a resident for 2 years. We were so pleased to find Astell House. It is a warm, caring, homely environment. Where the staff truly care about their residents. Food is very good and varied, catering to individual taste. There is plenty of outside space, gardens, patios and a beautiful summerhouse that can be used by residents and family/friends. My friend is particularly pleased to be able to access fresh air in a nice environment. Of course the most important thing with a home is good management and staff. All the staff at Astell are fantastic, we are so grateful for all that they do for my friend.
Thank you for taking the time to complete a review for Astell House. I will ensure your wonderful comments are passed on to the manager and her team. We really appreciate such positive feedback.
My mother has now been in Astell House for six years. I am very happy to have found Astell House as it has provided a very good home for her since her dementia became bad enough for her not to be able to live at home. The carers (and other staff - admin, kitchen, domestic, grounds etc.) continue to...
The new manager and senior team seem very approachable, kind, and effective so I am confident Astell will continue as an excellent home for my mother and the other residents.
The staff are capable, caring and compassionate and are quick to smile. They engage equally well with those in residence and those of us who frequently visit....
Astell House has a really warm family atmosphere and we wouldn’t want Dad to be living anywhere else. Huge thanks to the entire team.
Mum spent the last part of her life in Astell House, all of the staff went above and beyond what I expected from any care home. Not only did they look after Mum, they looked after me. I will always be grateful to them and will recommend any of my friends to use Astell House if they need care for a...

On the 16th August, I joined my Dad for a music and movement session provided by an external provider. This was appropriately planned, superbly led and uplifting! Every resident was encouraged to join in, which indeed they did, as and when they wished with obvious pleasure. The leader played familiar favourites with a strong beat to encourage percussion accompaniment, movement, singing and an opportunity for balloon bopping to and fro. A warm and friendly atmosphere resulted with lots of smiles and laughter. Thank you to the staff for providing these opportunities and also for all the excellent regular in house activities they provide themselves. Much appreciated!
Lovely friendly environment, nothing too much trouble. Mum enjoy's all the meals which are prepared for her. A good range of variety each day.

Astell House and its staff have been absolutely wonderful to my mother. She has spent the last four and a half years there, and we couldn't be happier with the care she has received. The staff, the staff, the staff! I don't feel I should call them staff; I should be calling them "family". They are the most wonderful group of caring professionals I have ever met. I feel truly grateful that my mother has been surrounded by such a fantastic bunch of human beings. Thank you.

Staff are always friendly and helpful and have been throughout the whole of uncertain and challenging times during the last two years. My mother feels safe and supported and gets on well with the staff. She is not afraid to request help with small improvements to the facilities in her room. Care during the latest hot spell has been exceptional in securing the resident's well-being.
I cannot thank everyone at Astell enough for the wonderful loving care Mum receives. She has been so happy here and it is a great blessing to know she is safe and well looked after.

I have indeed recommended Astell to my cousin for her father, my uncle and mum's brother and he too is now a resident.
Mum has settled really well, the staff are very friendly and create a lovely setting. It does feel at times the staff are stretched but this is understandable at key times in the day. Would really like to see more trips out for the residents, especially important now after such a long lockdown.

My aunt is 99. Has most of her marbles and can be a little trying at times. The staff at Astell are kind, caring and extremely patient. The care they have given during this very difficult time is so appreciated by her family. For them to have had no cases of Covid at all is miraculous and due to the diligence of the team. I would have no hesitation in recommending Astell to anyone thinking of respite or permanent care. Thank you, to the manager and your lovely team.
