Ashleigh Court & Ashgrove

My step-father was resident in Ashgrove after a stroke. He was well cared for until his death 12 years ago. My mother visited every day until the end. She then use Ashgrove as a hotel for many years, daily taking coffee and lunch whilst living, mostly at her home. Occasionally "holidaying" for a week at a time, then 2 weeks, then 4 weeks. she loved the home, she loved the staff and the atmosphere. Two years ago, out of choice, she moved in permanently. By now it was her home. After Xmas she developed terminal cancer and went downhill rapidly, throughout her suffering, the care, from manager through care staff, canteen staff and even the care and maintenance man was exemplary. All did their best.

The home is very welcoming, clean and bright, including comfortable bedrooms and lounges. Carers are very attentive towards the residents and try to include them in different activities. The choice of food is excellent, even visitors are offered a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit. Beautiful gardens surround the home.
