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.

Your staff looked after my dad as if he was being looked after by his own family. I could not thank them enough for treating him with dignity in his last few days of his life. Nothing was any bother to them, no matter what time you asked them things when needing any help. I think all care staff should be paid a higher wage for all their hard work and dedication and all they do for the patients. I could not thank your staff enough once again, they should be proud of themselves.
My husband was given the best treatment in your care home and had nothing but praise for all the staff.

Can I just say, they need a pay rise, especially over covid19. The work these people do is incredible.

My mother was admitted to Ashwood Park in March 2020, on the Saturday and the lockdown was Monday. Due to the coronavirus, we did not have any real-time to adjust to the home but can say that now after nearly 12-weeks, she is in the best place, and has been provided with the best care and safety that we, her family, could hope for. Thank you to all.
Staff in this care home all work together each helping the other. In the last 13 weeks, I have phoned 3 times a day about my husband's health and many times I speak to him on their phone. If he cries the home phones me to talk and I try to reassure him but he does get so confused and upset. These...
Staff in this care home all work together each helping the other. In the last 13 weeks, I have phoned 3 times a day about my husband's health and many times I speak to him on their phone. If he cries the home phones me to talk and I try to reassure him but he does get so confused and upset. These carers are very busy so I appreciate everything they do as I visited him every day.
Thank you for your review - we understand how difficult this time has been for so many of our residents and their loved ones, so its lovely to hear that the team's hard work is recognised, they will really appreciate it. Best wishes.

My mother has been cared for in Ashwood Park for 11 years. I have no complaints, she is very happy there.

Thank you for such a lovely review of our home and team. Best wishes.
The home is always clean and safe for mum to walk around. Plenty of caring, helpful staff to suit to her needs. Lots of entertainments and activities and on-site hairdresser who can relate to mums problems. The nurse is always on hand to chat to about mum and her needs.

All the staff is friendly and helpful. The care provided is excellent. I cannot praise the home enough for how they are looking after my son. The manager is one in a million.

Mum has been in this home for quite a few years and has been treated extremely well. I have brought attention to a couple of minor details but have always been happy with the results. Lovely place and the staff should be very proud of themselves.

The management, nursing staff and care workers at Ashwood Park, in my opinion, are second to none. They work tirelessly always demonstrating care and attention to their residents, my dad included, he loves it there. The current situation has proved very difficult for my dad and my family and I but they have tried to go the extra mile with regards to keeping things as normal as possible for their residents and offering reassurance to the families. I know and understand this has been a very testing time for all, but their dedication fills me with confidence knowing my dad is so very well looked after and cared for.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. After 2 to 3 months find everything satisfactory.

My brother and I a few months ago sent in an email about the high standard of care our father has received since entering the care home. We cannot fault any aspect of this care home. Our dad has been treated with the utmost respect and kindness and has truly been happy here. We fondly refer to all staff here as "angels without wings."
My few weeks stay at the care home; I can not fault. The day and night staff; I can not fault. Nothing was too much trouble with everything that has been going on. They always had time to listen and a smile on their faces.
