My partner is now in her eighth week at Ashfields and I am so pleased that they were able to offer her a bed. Her general well-being has improved immensely and her physical and mental states have blossomed. She is quite a character and at times can present some challenging behaviour which the staff have dealt with in a most professional and caring way. Any problem or concern is sorted promptly and efficiently. She hasn't been so happy and settled for such a long time. As her dementia journey progresses it is a great comfort to me to know that we will be supported every step of the way by a great team of people who are dedicated and genuinely care. Many thanks to everyone particularly to those in Forget-Me-Not suite.
Thank you so much for an amazing review well done team FMN
My Mum is a resident in Poppy Suite and since she moved in she has received exceptional care. At 85 years of age and blind she has been encouraged to join in all activities and has gone from being very quiet and introverted to coming out of her shell. It's definitely given her a new lease of...
The staff are totally dedicated to caring for the residents and always have a smile on their faces.
Nothing is to much trouble and there's always a cup of tea available for visitors.
My Mum couldn't be in better hands.

Mum has now been a resident at Ashfields Care Home on Daffodil suite for almost two years. She continues to receive excellent care from all of the wonderful staff. Mum is treated with compassion, dignity and kindness. We feel that she is closely monitored in a clean and safe environment. Mum receives lots of hugs and everyone fondly appreciates her sense of humour! Our grateful thanks to all staff.
Thanks for such a lovely review. Well done team daffodil.
My mother lives in the Daffodil suite. She has had to make a big adjustment as has to live there due to life life-changing stroke. Staff have been very sensitive to that. They have also displayed a lot of care for me as I have adjusted to Mum's new living circumstances. It feels like we have joined...
Mum loves going to the coffee shop with her book to socialise with whoever may come in. The staff across all departments are friendly and welcoming and treat the residents with dignity and respect.
Summer days in the courtyard or the garden spaces are also lovely, with relaxing spaces that don't feel like a care home.
I can't stress enough how much peace of mind I have knowing Mum is well looked after, with people who care.
Thanks for the fab review your mum brings life to Daffodil. Well done team daffodil.

My dad was a resident for 10 months before sadly passing away during September. The staff dealt with his passing with total respect and showed him the dignity that he deserved.
When we returned the following morning, Dad's room had a fresh daffodil on the door; a really thoughtful tribute. A member of staff even helped us with Dad's belongings, as our emotions were too overwhelming to do it ourselves.
We cannot speak highly enough about the staff at Ashfields Care Home, it is truly the best care home in the district.
The pleasure was all ours. Thank you for all your family support. Well done team Daffodil.
I find this home excellent. The staff make you feel like one of the family.

My Dad initially came to Ashfields for 2 weeks of respite care. From the very first day, he was treated with dignity and respect. The staff are so welcoming, and the level of care and attention is exceptional. The home is clean, smells lovely and it's modern yet has a very homely feel. My Dad has since become a permanent resident and as a family, we get peace knowing he is safe, very well looked after, and in relaxing surroundings.
Thank you for such an amazing review, it has been an absolute pleasure and we have learned so much from your Dad.

I came to Ashfields in the Poppy Suite for respite when I broke my kneecap and felt unprepared to return home on my own. I had such a very enjoyable supportive and happy 2 weeks! The staff were absolutely wonderful so caring, friendly and fun too - all the day and night staff. They all helped my recovery in a gentle and positive way until I felt ready and confident to return home. I made lots of new friends too!
Thank you the pleasure was all ours. Well done Team Poppy

My Grandma has been in the Forget-Me-Not suite at Ashfields for a couple of years now and she is always well looked after and cared for. Due to the travel distance between us, it is particularly lovely to receive regular updates via message to see what she has been up to. She is regularly involved in activities and always has a bright smile. The staff are lovely and I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of my nan.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. Glad you like the family message group.
We had gone to take my father-in-law some extra clothes, as the nurse had requested them that morning. It was 7 pm. The home was just as busy in the evening as the daytime. All the care staff were busy with the residents; they were getting the supper ready. The care staff were all chatting to the...
I then sat in the entrance hall talking to a resident when the day shift was clocking out. The atmosphere between the staff was amazing, all getting on while saying goodbye to each other. The night shift had already started going into the resident's rooms.
The staff and manager couldn't be more caring what a wonderful home for our elderly relatives to be cared for.
Thank you so much, Sharon, that's great feedback and music to my ears. Well done team, Daffodil.

My mother-in-law has been with Forget Me Not suite at Ashfields for 18 months and we could not wish for her to be better looked after. All the staff are lovely and go above and beyond. They clearly care so much for the people they are looking after. There are always fun activities for the residents to take part in, every day is different. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them. I love the pictures they send so we can all see how well our relatives are when we aren't with them. We honestly couldn't ask for her to be in a better place.
Thanks for a great review. This means a lot to the team.
Mum went into Ashfields 4 years ago now and from the very start I knew it was the right place for her. The home is set out very nicely and everyone you meet is happy and content. All the staff are so professional, caring, and compassionate about their jobs and treat all the residents with full...
We as relatives are always being invited to get involved as much as possible and they always welcome our input within the home, always knowing their doors are always open if ever you need to offload and have a moment that is helpful. Since Mum has been in Ashfields she has settled well and the staff all know her and her little ways such as her likes and dislikes so they can help her with everything and make each day just that little bit more easier and comfortable for her. Thank you to everyone at Ashfields .
Thank you so much for the lovely compliments, well-done team Forget Me Not.

I realise people see different things through different eyes and with different attitudes but would like to reassure people that this is certainly not what I have witnessed throughout the last 3 years my Mother has been a resident. Every possible care has been taken with my soon-to-be 97-year-old Mother, she has never ever been needlessly medicated, and never ever been left to be sad or lonely, believe me, my Mum hasn't always agreed with being in a Care Home but the staff took everything in their stride and supported Mum through some difficult times! She isn't well at the moment but with the excellent care given to her, I'm sure she will make that 97th birthday.
If you are considering Ashfields to care for you're loved one, make a visit and you will see what genuine, generous, kind people work there!
Thanks for such a great review. We always try our best for the residents and as the Home Manager, I am very proud of the Forget Me Not team who genuinely do care and will always go above and beyond for the residents.

The food always looks delicious and nutritious, I have always found the home spotless and clean from the reception to the resident's bedrooms. Ashfields has an activities rota so the residents don't get bored or they can go to the cafe or bar.
I think it's one of the best care homes from my experience and I am so pleased and grateful my dad was able to get a place there. I couldn't have wished for better.
Thanks for your wonderful compliments. Well done team Poppy.
My first experience of Ashfields Care Home was when my mother needed end-of-life care in 2021. She had Alzheimer's and terminal cancer. The care she received was second to none. She was treated with great dignity and respect even in death. I will never forget that. So when Father could no longer be...
My first impression of visiting in January 2024 was that of a place full of life and activity. All the staff is warm, friendly, and welcoming. The care he receives is exceptional. I know I could not care for him as well as they do. He has easy access to health services which are much harder to access in the community. His physical health is monitored constantly and any concerns are acted upon rapidly. He enjoys the activities that are provided both morning and afternoon, I have seen him dancing and singing, something I have never seen before. He has grown very fond of the staff and appreciates their support.
Thank you for the lovely review. Well done team forget me not.
I fell upon Ashfields by chance whilst looking for a Nursing Home for my mum. She had been placed in a place, can't call it a home, by the hospital on discharge. What a place, but that's another story. Just no comparison whatsoever to Ashfields. It is a Home away from home. My mum is a difficult...
I fell upon Ashfields by chance whilst looking for a Nursing Home for my mum. She had been placed in a place, can't call it a home, by the hospital on discharge. What a place, but that's another story. Just no comparison whatsoever to Ashfields. It is a Home away from home. My mum is a difficult resident but she is shown love and affection, she is cared for and her needs are met. She has never been overmedicated to keep her behaviours under control, in fact, the opposite, they will not dose mum up to keep her behaviours under control. I am kept informed of all the changes to her medications, care, and illnesses, and asked my opinions. Mum has been at 3 years at Ashfields and they have been brilliant, she is still a difficult resident but they have persevered with her and some progress can be seen. I can't thank them enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Ashfields.
Thank you for the wonderful review - well done Team Forget Me Not.

There is always someone there to talk to as they are lovely people. The facilities are second to none and I can't recommend it highly enough.
Thank you so much for a great review, the staff will be over whelmed with your compliments.
