Review from Les H (Husband of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My wife recently was in Ashfield for four weeks and generally her care was good and the staff were very pleasant but it was disappointing that some procedures were not followed correctly.
The staff are supposed to check clothing/ pockets etc before washing, had they had done this my wife's new IPhone would not have gone through the washing procedure. Whilst they acknowledged they were at fault and had meetings on the subject I am unable to get reimbursed even though I sent them the receipt for the phone. I would add my wife enjoyed her stay so not all bad news!

Review from Nigel G (Son of Resident) published on 29 May 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father spent three weeks in Airedale Care Home due to a severe Urinary tract infection, during this time we were offered a four-week rehabilitation stay at Ashfield by the care team who have been so supportive, to help to prepare him for a return back home.
He arrived on a Saturday and could hardly walk and was feeling sick and still a little confused. Within three weeks, with the support of all the excellent staff, his recovery was amazing. He was back to eating three meals a day, dispensed with his Zimmer frame and now uses his sticks. The staff encouraged him to make his own bed and make his own hot drinks and organise his tablets, all in preparation for his return home. The big thing for us was the return of his confidence and I would like to put on record our sincere thanks for all involved from the moment he left Airedale to the moment he returned home we could not have asked for a more caring service.

He is back home and feeling great. A massive thank you from.

Review from Jane P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2023 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum came very frail and unwell. Being told she was going to a home for respite upset me. She has come on in leaps and bounds - thank you to all the staff at Ashfield. The due care and attention are second to none. They have built her up into a new woman, with nice food, baths and hairdressing. I can't thank the team enough, including the male maintenance, who is so kind. Mum's stay here has taken a big weight off my shoulders, knowing that she is safe and well cared for. Thank you so much.

Overall Experience
The care staff at Ashfield are kind, caring and attentive to the needs of their residents. I believe they are second to none and that also goes for the private sector in my experience. and the rest home is very clean and comfortable.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
