With a team devoted to enriching the lives of their residents, Ashwood Park has a warm family feel the moment you walk through the door.
Providing residential, nursing, dementia and palliative care, the team also offers respite care breaks, which are ideal for family carers who would like to plan a short break themselves, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
The team support the residents to play a very active role in how their home is run, and there’s a resident ambassador who provides feedback on everything from the menu to the activities on offer, as well as welcoming new staff and residents.
There are so many engaging activities, from baking and pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages, to singalongs with the piano. The residents enjoy regular entertainers, who fill the home with music.
Mealtimes are a real highlight of the day, with the chef preparing delicious home-cooked meals and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.
Ashwood Park has a beautiful hair salon, for regular appointments with the mobile hairdresser, and there is a secure courtyard garden, home to ducks Pip, Hamish and Bonnie!
There are so many spaces to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, from the welcoming lounges and garden room to the café. And there is a private family and friends Facebook group.
The local community are embraced into life at Ashwood Park. Local school children regularly visit to enjoy activities and sing with the residents. And there are regular visits and outings with their fellow residents from Sanctuary Care’s neighbouring home.
Many of the residents love animals, so there are lots of visits from everything from dogs to animal therapy sessions with owls, guinea pigs and rabbits.
And there’s plenty to do outside the home, with trips to the Easington Beach, shopping centres, cafés, garden centres and the local school, the marina and pub lunches.

The care givers have been excellent looking after the residents very well. Visitors and residents always welcomed and made to feel at ease. What family felt was a worrying and emotional time, was helped hugely by the amazing staff on zone II.

TV lounge approximately 4 lights out, dining room and quiet room overall lights out, corridors lights out.
We feel this is a Health and Safety issue for residents, visitors and staff walking in and out of the above areas.

Staff are always friendly and helpful, they welcome family members and are always ready to deal with any questions. My mother is always treated with dignity and respect whether hands-on care or conversation is in progress. I can go home knowing that my mother is in a safe place with people who care, this is very important to me as I do not live locally. The environment is light, airy and comfortable. Thank you.

Exceptional care and support to my mother during her stay. Staff very friendly and caring/helpful would definitely recommend Ashwood Park to others. Lots of activities available and varied menus/great food.

I could not wish for a better care home for my mam to be in, with wonderful caring staff, having seen first hand some of the other care homes. It's such a relief to see such a well maintained and caring home. I truly feel my mam is cared for by the fantastic staff. Thanks to you all.

Circumstances after badly broken right leg resulted in my residency. I was feeling very low and suffer from the inserted metal plate fitted by screws with residual pain, especially overnight.

I have been here for one month and have found the standard very good. Food is good and the staff friendly and obliging.

I am very pleased to say I am very happy with the way they treat us and how they look after us if we are ill. They also do anything for you if you can't do it yourself.

My mother has been a resident at Ashwood Park for more than nine years. Throughout this time, all of the staff, including the administration, activities girls, nursing staff and cleaners have acted with courtesy and compassion often under very difficult behavioural circumstances. Her level of care has been exemplary and the staff are a credit to this nursing home.
My stay at your home was more than good. Without all the help and support from all staff, I would not be going home. They saved my life. Great big thank you to all.

Thank you for your lovely comments. We shall be sure to pass these on to the team at Ashwood Park. Warmest wishes.
I am sure that this is due to the care of the friendly staff and the comfortable room she occupies with its own bathroom.
I would certainly recommend Ashwood to other friends.
