Christmas was lovely, the home makes a special effort. The decorations looked nice and they had some great acts attend the home.
Thank you for your kind review, Christmas is such a fun time for us all.
While the food at Ashcombe House has always been good, the new chef (appointed in December 2019) is producing menus of a quality and variety that is superlative. Even my mother, who has never, ever, been interested in food, is now really appreciating the meals. Our photographs of the dishes are presented to friends to make them envious!
Thank you, I have shown your review to the Head Chef. She was very pleased.
Most of the staff are very friendly to residents and relatives. Management is very helpful. Room is quite small.
Thank you, for your kind review, we always look forward to seeing you when you come and visit your Sister.
My Mum has been in Ashcombe House for less than two weeks and is settling really well. I am most impressed by the love and care she has received from all the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My Mum needs a lot of care during the night and she is really appreciating the fact that the staff are there for her and that they will make her a cup of tea. She says "this is the best cup of tea I have"! She said to my friend "I could have stayed at home and had carers, but they couldn't have been there in the night"
Thank you Marianne for your review, we are so happy Mum has settled in so well and enjoying the trips out. We are really pleased you chose us to look after Mum.
Ashcombe Care Home look after all the residents with a high level of care. The management and carers are all lovely and approachable. My father came into Ashcombe straight from the hospital as end of life and two years later he is still here, now aged 99. I truly believe the care he has received has saved his life. I cannot thank Ashcombe enough for his care.
Thank you, Linda, for your time in writing us a review. We will look forward to spending Christmas with you all.
Very pleasant good home. Everyone is pleasant and helpful. I enjoy the baking club, making articles, especially cards and some quizzes. Food is good generally and nicely served.

Thank you Lilian for your review. We are so happy you decided to stay after respite.
Very lovely. I like the staff. The food is very good. My room is very nice. I enjoy outings.
Thank you, Freda, for your lovely comments, I will ensure I pass them on to the staff.
The staff at the home are always very friendly and caring. Grandad has the opportunity to go on days out regularly. The portions at mealtimes could be bigger. Nan and Grandad always look nice and clean. Overall we are very pleased with the level of care at the home.
Thank you for your kind review and thank you for choosing Ashcombe to care for your Grandparents, who are very highly thought of by all staff and other residents.
Very friendly staff. Lots to keep residents amused. Food was brilliant. Dad had such a laugh with all (and they all loved him).

We feel very happy to leave her here and confident she is very well looked after.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give us such a lovely review.
The only reservation I have is the small eating area upstairs - when you have a few wheelchairs you cannot move, sometimes you have people who would like to leave the room before others are ready but can't.
Thank you very much Sheila for your lovely comment. The dining room has been moved around to accommodate this issue and residents can also eat in the cafe area downstairs if they wish to do so. Hope to see you soon in your next visit.
I am very happy here and I could not have chosen a better place to make my home.
Thank you very much for taking time out to give us this lovely review.
I came to visit my nan twice over the bank holiday weekend and the new look of the home is amazing! everyone at the home was really friendly it feels like a much warmer and more welcoming place since I last visited which was before the changes. Me, my kids and my partner had some of the birthday cake and the cake at reception and they were amazing also lunch looked very yummy too and the chef even walked past my son playing in reception as we were about to leave and gave him an ice lolly which I thought was lovely so thank you to all for a great visit
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment. It much appreciated by staff at Ashcombe House.
Patient and very friendly staff. Adaptable to needs. Nothing is too much trouble.
Very helpful and caring.
I would like to close by saying a very big thank you to you all, thank you, please let all the staff know how much we appreciated their dedicated work for the year that he was with them. We would certainly recommend them to others who we know who are looking for a home for a relative who is in needs of a facility in the area.
It makes me happy that my mother in law is in THIS home.

Hi, my name is Alina, and I am the General Manager here at Ashcombe House.
I started my journey in care as a carer, working hands-on with residents before going on to qualify as a nurse. That experience shaped everything about the way I lead, and it's something I carry with me every single day.
It is my job to make sure Ashcombe House is a safe, caring, and happy place — for our residents who call it home, and for the brilliant team who look after them.
Please do come and visit us, meet the team, and have a look around. We would love to welcome you.
Hello, I’m Sarah, and I qualified as a nurse in 2004.

I am passionate about providing excellent care and support to older adults and will strive to provide person-centred care at all times. As Deputy Manager, I will support our wonderful team to continue to be the welcoming, fun, caring home it already is.
Each of my days starts with a warm welcome to our residents and staff. The happiness and satisfaction of the residents and their relatives is the top priority.
