I have been very touched by the little things they have done to help residents and family who are missing their visits, they have been very thoughtful at this difficult time.
Well done to everyone and a very big thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It is a very difficult time for everyone. However, we are all striving to maintain as much contact as possible while maintaining social distancing.
The staff are excellent with residents and family. I am satisfied my mom is well looked after.
Thank you, Karen, for sharing your recent experience of our home. We are pleased that it has been so positive and look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a fantastic day.
I find the staff very caring and pleasant. They look after the residents really well but sometimes there are not enough of them, such as if there are people that need help to go to the toilet, they have to wait until someone is free. Old people can't wait! And more toilets are needed downstairs so they don't have to queue.
Thank you, Susan, for your comments about Ashbourne Care Home. We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback and letting us know how we are doing. We have acknowledged the concerns you have, and improvements you have suggested to better the home. If you would like to discuss any concerns directly, please reach out to us at the home. Thanks again.
First class across the board. A nursing home as it should be. Very high standards indeed.
Although I visit every other day, I'm still informed if Dad is not well and what the doctor has said should he/she have to be called out.
I still have concerns on the level of staffing on the dementia suite. In my opinion, two staff is just not enough to safely care for these most vulnerable and sometimes challenging residents.

I and my auntie could not have wished for anywhere better. the support that my auntie, my wife and I received was priceless. At this most traumatic time in our lives, there were people who readily supported us. The manager was caring and professional which filtered down to all staff members. it was evident that staff were well trained in their various roles and all demonstrated a very caring attitude. Nothing was too much trouble, staff were patient, friendly and had the time to perform their caring skills. I had total confidence in the care delivered to my auntie.
Within a week, my auntie looked better than she had done in years. The environment was clean and fresh, something that was noticeable as soon as you walked through the door. The temperature throughout was warm and constant. Excellent place to be cared for.

Mom and Dad needed respite care over the New Year period for a couple of weeks. The staff were excellent, from the initial assessment to the welcome and ongoing for the next week or so, till my parents left. Dads needs were far more complex than moms, with his dementia causing behaviour issues. The staff handled it with care and attention to detail with meds, etc. My mom was very welcomed by everyone and really enjoyed her time there. Unfortunately, my dad became very ill and left after a week to go into hospital, but mom stayed there for another few days and was made most welcome. The food was good and plentiful. The rooms pleasant, but mostly it was the staff and their lovely attitude.
Thank you, Denise, for your comments about your recent experience at Ashbourne Care Home. Our residents’ wellbeing is our main priority and it is great to hear that you were so pleased with the quality of our care. All of our staff are committed to providing the best possible care experience for all of our residents and it is very rewarding to have their efforts recognised.
I rate this care home as being of a good standard all round, and would highly recommend it to anybody who requires a good care home with excellent standards.
This care home is very good. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. The food is excellent. My dad has settled in very well much to my surprise because he is difficult to please. My Mum was here for a short time and was looked after very well. I have recommended this care home to others.
Ashbourne Care Home is a really good care home and they are taking care of both of my sisters very well.
The care home is warm and welcoming, you are always greeted with a smile and in a while offered a refreshment. The place is always clean and tidy, the management have an open door policy where you can easily discuss any issues. It would seem it suffers from staff shortages but this doesn't affect the care level. My mother in law is very happy there, is well cared for and treated very well. This is a very nice place and the staff do their best. All the family think she is in safe hands.
The staff and management are all wonderful. They are approachable and respectful in every area of my grandmother's care and I would not hesitate to recommend this home.
I visit a neighbour every 3 weeks and she seems fine. Staff seem pleasant, some more than others and the food is fine.
My mother seems well cared for. Happy her needs are met. Very friendly, thoughtful.
All the staff are very pleasant and caring. My grandad has only been here for a short time and he's been made to feel very welcome. He's registered blind, there's nothing they won't do for him! I highly recommend this care home! Very nice place!
Staff are always happy and very considerate and caring to patients. I feel they should make sure patients have regular hearing tests and hearing aids checked regularly. Also that patients nails are cleaned daily. Patients are always fed well and given snacks and drinks. My friend has not had her hearing aids for at least 4 months. This stops her communication, when I questioned staff I was told I was not the next of kin. Which I am not but visit weekly.
Hello there, thank you for your review of Ashbourne Care Home - we appreciate all feedback about our home and are always looking at ways we can improve. From your comments I can see you have a couple of issues that I would be interested to discuss in more detail with you. I will be in touch to talk further. Best wishes, Annette.
Staff at Ashbourne Care Home are very professional but at the same time very friendly and caring. My dad always looks immaculate, his room always clean. The manager is always there to help you if you need it and always with a smile, lovely lady. Staff first class. I know my dad can be difficult at times but they handle it well. Cannot fault them, and no I didn't have to worry.
