The long-serving team at Asra House, an ‘Outstanding’ CQC-rated home (February 2022) for residents with an Asian lifestyle, are what makes this home really stand out. Speaking several languages, including Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Bengali, Swahili and of course English, they are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and celebrating every aspect of their cultural and religious beliefs.
The home-cooked authentic Asian cuisine at Asra House is a real highlight. Meat and vegetarian dishes are prepared by the home’s chefs in separate kitchens. Residents enjoy a vast variety of curries and daal dishes, with samosas and chapatis, served with home-made chutneys, raita and Indian sweets, every day.
Residents enjoy so many enriching activities, from traditional music, prayers and dancing to animal visits and laughing yoga. So many religious festivals are celebrated, and children from the local school often join in the celebrations.
There is a whole-home approach to activities and every day there is ‘happy hour’, where the team stop what they are doing and enjoy spontaneous activities with the residents.
The residents and their loved ones have a very active role in how their home is run, with resident and relative ambassadors. They support the manager with staff interviews and provide feedback to the team, many of whom have proudly been with the home for over 15 years.
Asra House also has its own minibus, to take the residents out on trips into the community, from the local park to temples and mosques.
The home has a beautiful secure garden leading from the main lounge, which is a beautiful space to relax in the summer with loved ones, who are welcome at any time. And the residents’ spacious bedrooms all have ensuite wet rooms.
The home also has a private Facebook group for family and friends, who can catch up with what their loved ones have been enjoying doing.

We have been extremely pleased with Asra House Residential Care Home since my father, unfortunately, became a resident in October 2018. The home is modern and clean, and his room is tastefully decorated and very comfortable with an en-suite bathroom. The staff are extremely caring and supporting, and always helpful, and it is very comforting for us to know that our father is in such safe hands.

I have visited my mother many times. I live in the Essex Area. The staff are so conscious of the residents. They take security very seriously. I found they treat the residents with dignity and respect, using respectable manner according to age and sex in their respective languages. My mother is bilingual and has vascular dementia and speaks English and Gujarati so they adapt accordingly. I am very impressed by the care she receives and will recommend them to anyone. They also celebrate all the events, Christmas, Diwali etc, Halloween.
Thank you for your lovely review Urmila and for recommending our home, it is lovely to read such praise. Kind regards, Kate Yates.

Putting my mother into care was a huge decision for us as a family and we were not united on this as being the best option, however, 6 months on we are in agreement that this was the best care home option for my mum. I visit her every weekend and this last weekend she was telling us that she is very happy with all aspects of her care as are we. It truly feels like a home environment. The staff are friendly, caring, informative and best of all have picked up on mum's idiosyncrasies!
My mother has received excellent care and attention whilst her stay at the home, her needs have been met.

The manager is very approachable and always takes time to talk to me whenever I visit Asra. She makes sure to address any concerns I or my family have for my Grandma and she always takes time to talk to my Grandma as well as other residents. I would highly recommend this care home to others.

My grandmother has been a resident here for the last 14 months and the level of care she has received has been exemplary. The care staff are all caring and courteous. I can always leave feeling peaceful after a visit knowing that she is living in a great environment and knowing she is being well looked after. The range of activities from painting, to singing, to playing games is a great opportunity for the residents to connect with one another and keeps them active. There is always a variety of 3-course menus for both dinner and lunch with snacks being provided in between.

My Auntie came into the home in 2001. She is a long-term resident with a disability. She was never fully happy. Staff were not always attentive and her needs were not being met. Food was basic, no variety. Since the home manager has taken over, the home is run completely different. She has addressed many issues that needed to be addressed, such as the quality and variety of food served, staff attitude towards the residents and care facilities. Very pleased with the home manager.

Before I came here I had checked out seven other homes and my instance to choose this one has been the best.
The rooms have been renovated and the staff are a lot more caring.
