Like most children when faced with having to place a parent in a care home you're worried is this the right place, will they be treated with dignity and respect. Will they have all their needs met.

There are daily activities that encourage the residents to try something new.
There are weekly outings for anyone who wishes to go out.
The nurses have been a tremendous help with my dad's illness and the empathy they show is wonderful. They help with any worries or concerns. The carers are wonderful. If they are busy they strive to make sure our loved ones are cared for.
The time spent talking to all the people who reside here learning about their lives, interests, history of work and more. The kitchen staff make wonderful home-cooked meals. They try to make sure there is a variety of choices daily and follow any special restrictions.
The laundry and housekeeping were diligent to ensure the home is clean every day all day. Your laundry is done daily without you having to worry. There is tea, coffee and water always available to everyone in the lobby. You will always find cake there too.
We are very pleased that we chose Ashby House as my/our dads new home.
We are so glad we have been there to support yourself and Dad through this transition. We at Ashby, strive to provide holistic care to our residents, making sure we involve their families as well. We put the resident at the centre of everything and will continually go above and beyond to meet their needs. Thank you very much for your lovely comments.
Visited for the first time yesterday and what a wonderful surprise. Happy staff, nothing was too much trouble. BBQ out in the garden with memory lane music being played. Residents were so well cared for, only had to ask for help and it was given with a smile. Very impressed. Thanks to you all.

So glad you have enjoyed the BBQ day that we had on Sunday. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us - I agree , cannot thank enough to our staff at Ashby House. We are here to help our residents and relatives with all that is needed.
Kind Regards

We are grateful that you have chosen our home for your wife. As always we are here to treat all of our residents as part of our big Barchester family. We are happy to take notice of any review that can help us keep up the high standards.

All the staff were very friendly, courteous and professional.
Our mum was treated with dignity and her wishes respected by all the staff at Ashby House.
The nurses were very caring, reassuring and proactive. They brought in the correct medical professionals to support our mother's well being, kept on top of all medical needs, sorted out a special mattress and chased up on medical appointments.
They kept us fully informed on our mother's condition in a very compassionate way.
The carers were very cheerful and caring. They took time to sit with our mum and nothing was too much trouble.
Both the manager and deputy manager fully understood our mum's special needs and circumstances which eased our worries considerably. They were very approachable and made all the appropriate arrangements.
We cannot recommend Ashby House highly enough and we will be forever grateful.

Staff are amazing, working hard, activities have improved lots, residents have stimulations daily. Anytime I've asked for anything I had an immediate and positive response. Staff nurses very very competent and admiral and helpful. People will need to see Ashby House, it's so much changed. The lounge could benefit of new furniture, its memory lane. Staff are smiling, says good evening every time I call in.

Generally, poor care homes receive justifiably bad press but rarely do excellent homes receive the praise they deserve. Ashby House deserves all the accolades you can muster. It is fresh, clean and tidy and their facilities are exemplary. The staff are genuinely caring and experienced. My mother was admitted for palliative/end of life care recently after spending some 5 weeks in the hospital. If she had been admitted earlier, she wouldn't have lived any longer but her last days would have been more comfortable and dignified.
Dear Colin. We are glad we have looked after your mum, but unfortunately for a few days only. We would have loved to have had your mum here for a longer time. I am glad I have met you and your lovely family. Please come in for the open day on 23rd June.
Since my mum sadly passed at Ashby House last August they have given the home a most beautiful makeover. I have to say it is like walking into a 1st class hotel.

Since my mum sadly passed at Ashby House last August they have given the home a most beautiful makeover. I have to say it is like walking into a 1st class hotel. The rooms are beautifully and tastefully done. The reception, lounges and dining room are also beautiful. I was glad to see that most of the staff still worked there and they are helping to create a warm and inviting environment for the Residents and their families. A very beautiful caring home. I would recommend it to anyone. Now 5 star.
Thank you very much for your kind review. It is nice to see that people appreciate all the positive changes at Ashby House. I'm glad that we are in people's thoughts now. Please continue visiting us and have a cuppa some time.
The staff here are absolutely wonderful. We really commend them for their compassion and care in regards to my father's wellbeing.

As soon as my grandmother arrived she was given the best care possible. The nurse was very good at explaining what would happen with my grandmother’s health and we were immediately put at ease. The care my grandmother received was nothing short of compassionate and excellent. Our only wish was that we would have loved to have got her to Ashby Care Home sooner.
We are glad your grandmother had received best care and we would love you to join us for lunch or tea sometimes.
A friendly welcoming care home. Clean and patient staff.
Activities such as knit and chat, making memory boxes and functions during the year. Garden fetes in the summer.

My wife was diagnosed with dementia in August 2015 and was invited to become a resident at Ashby House. Initially, we were impressed with the home, but over the period to September 2017, we became less happy with their overall performance and I was travelling 45 miles - 3 times per week to visit.
I believe the problems with the home stem from the number of managers in those 2 years and that there was little continuity with the carers during that time. There are signs that the latest manager is making some improvements but there is a lot of room to improve. My wife is moving to Hemel Hampstead which is better for me to visit.

I was obviously concerned to read your comments and fully respect your concerns. However, I believe your review relates to a period prior to my arrival in the home and as you know, we have been making a number of changes in recent months. We have consulted with our residents and their families on those changes and I would be very happy for you to visit myself at any time so that I can outline these to you. I have an open door policy and would be happy to discuss any further ideas and suggestions you might have.
Very impressed so far (my husband has only been at Ashby House for one week).

Hello, I'm Diana, and I am a Senior Registered Nurse at Ashby House. I am responsible for the Day Care Team on my nursing unit.

Hello, my name is Victory, I am a qualified nurse, and I am passionate about providing quality care at excellent standards for residents. I have been working for Barchester Healthcare since June 2022.
The team at Ashby is one of the best I have worked with, and I am grateful for the love and support I receive from the management and colleagues in my job role.
Before June 2022, I worked as a nurse in my home country for some years, serving as a registered nurse, registered midwife, and West African licensed public health nurse. I hold a bachelor's degree in nursing, and my passion for learning drives me to continually update my knowledge and research.
I have a passion and a call to care for the elderly, and I feel fulfilled doing my job. I am committed to delivering person-centred care for each resident and reassuring their relatives. It is also a pleasure supporting my colleagues and using my strengths to enhance the lives of all we care for.

Hello, I'm Carol and I joined the Ashby House team in 2004 as a Housekeeping Assistant.
It is really important that I keep the home clean to keep it looking nice and minimise infection risks. It is also important that Ashby House is tidy, attractive and well organised so residents feel comfortable and relaxed.
I get to know every resident, to understand how they like their room, their clothes and their personal belongings to be arranged. I enjoy my morning chats, getting to know residents as I clean their rooms.
