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.

My dad was admitted to the IC Unit following a bout of severe confusion. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, which helped my dad settle into his new routine and the unit. He was cared for with dignity, and all of his needs were met. Thank you to all the staff for looking after him.

As my mother-in-law states in her room, the activities aren't of interest to her. However, other residents seem happy enough to partake.
She does enjoy getting her hair done.

My dad was taken here for recovery after leaving hospital following a fall. All staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help our family with advice, care and reassurance. It speaks volumes that my dad did not want to leave when his time came to do so. I can only thank all the staff and their hard work and amazing care they show all the people in here.

My dad was on the infection prevention and control wing for five weeks. The staff are amazing especially six of them, only thing that let the home down as far as Dad was concerned was the food, poor choice for a 77-year-old man.

My brother came into Ashwood ten days ago for restpite and considering he didn't want to come into the home he has decided he wants to stay in on a permanent basis. I think that says it all.

Since my mom has been in the unit a little over two weeks ago she is getting better with each day. The staff are very friendly and excellent. We are very grateful to everyone who has played a part in looking after her. She is further on than we expected which is down to all of your dedication.
