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.

Ashwood made my dad feel very welcome considering how he was feeling leaving hospital. He had never been in a care environment and although his medical needs have changed he likes to try and keep his independence. Although for physical reasons he couldn't do this the staff were excellent to keep him positive and always reassured him and provided him with dignity and conversation to keep him interested. He was very reluctant initially having to stay but after leaving 8 weeks later I think he will miss the company and staff and reassurance you offered. Communication was very good throughout. Thank you from all the family.
All the staff are extremely helpful, kind and professional. My father has been very happy and his health has improved greatly.

My father was resident on the ICP unit for several weeks. The care he received was outstanding and has undoubtedly helped his rehabilitation. The staff are lovely, helpful and hardworking people. We are very grateful for the care he received. I understand the catering was excellent too. If the owners could give the rooms a little refresh it might be approaching perfection at Ashwood Park! Thank you to all of the super staff.
My mother-in-law was well looked after. The staff were always cheerful and bend over backwards to be helpful. When we needed to phone, we always got through straight away and were never rushed or fobbed off. We were kept informed at all times. All the staff are very hardworking and need a medal.

Since my friend came into Ashwood Park nursing unit she has been treated with care dignity and respect, both on a professional and personal level. The staff took the time to get to know her and have tended to her every need and though sometimes situations due to her illness have been somewhat distressing and frustrating the staff have worked through it and given me reassurance. All of the staff here have also made me feel welcome whenever I visit. They have my utmost respect.
Thank you so much for such kind words about our home and team - it is wonderful to hear how welcome you feel at Ashwood Park and how happy you are with the care provided to your friend. It is so appreciated. Best wishes.

Feel very sorry for staff who are very much overworked at times and feel as though there should be more, as often 2 staff are required to attend to one patient. Food is good and staff very helpful. The overall standard is quite good.
