Ashview Nursing Home

My Mother-in-law spent her last months being compassionately cared for at Ashview. My Mother-in-law at first found it difficult to settle but due to her dementia, soon adapted to the nursing homes routine. My husband and I could not fault any part of my mother-in-law's care and cannot praise all the carers enough. Also, the home manager was first class. The chefs also deserve a mention as the food prepared for the residents was first class.

My friend was a resident at Ashview Nursing Home for six months respite. The staff were always helpful and made my friend feel like they were at home. The manager is very approachable and the food is excellent.

Very happy with all the staff I was dealing with. Always had time to discuss my mother's situation. Organised transport to the hospital for follow-up appointments plus staff to escort my mother. Not happy with accommodation provided for my mother. Her room was very pokey and all corridors and access to communal areas difficult with wheelchairs and lounge was cluttered. Garden was lovely with nice sitting area. Lounge and dining room clean.

I attended a meeting with the manager and ten members of staff to discuss my father's care. It was a positive meeting and I felt that I was listened to and my point of view was valuable.
I complimented and thanked the staff, they do a wonderful job. Theor dedication is very much appreciated.

Ashview is extremely well run with very friendly, caring and helpful staff at all levels. There is a strong feeling of being part of a large and happy family.
The home is always spotlessly clean (as are the residents) and there is never any unpleasant, stale smells of urine or boiled cabbage (which I have noticed in some other care homes!)
Ashview has recently been re-decorated in all the rooms, which are now very light, airy and fresh looking. The large garden and patio are wonderful to both sit out in and view from the lounge windows. The chef is extremely good, providing a variety of well planned and imaginative meals for all residents, even those who need all food pureed. Special functions and entertainment are arranged at various times throughout the year to which family and friends are invited which helps to enforce the feeling of "belonging". Mum has been a resident for 4 and a half years and I honestly feel I could not have chosen anywhere better for her to be.

Ashview is an excellent nursing home. The management and staff of all levels provide 100% care. Everyone is treated as an individual and all care, food and meals are provided to cater to their needs. There is never a problem, it doesn't matter what request or questions that I need answering, there is always someone available to speak to. This home is very warm and welcoming it has a big family atmosphere. The staff made my aunts stay for the last 4 months of her life the best she could have had. Not only for herself, but for the whole family.

The food is very good and the nurses and staff are exceptional, they do a really good job. The home is always clean and tidy, the garden looks inviting to sit in on sunny days. Would recommend.

Good all round service most of the time. Only two little points; collecting crockery after meals could be quicker and not always left alone so you can go to the toilet.

The carers all amazing! Our mum only spent ten days at Ashview but the way we and she were treated was second to none! in her final hours. They were so helpful, kind and loving. They helped us with everything and really made us feel at ease. We would like to thank them all at Ashview from the bottom of our hearts.

It is so difficult when you realise that it is just impossible for one of your parents to continue living at home but Ashview Nursing Home really softened the blow. The staff are so lovely and the management team are really good and give you confidence that the best care is being given. I cannot praise all of the team at Ashview Nursing Home highly enough. The food is very good and my mother's room very homely. Thank you so much all of you, we really appreciate everything you have done for my mother.

My mother was brought to Ashview after more than 4 months in hospital. Her Capacity had deteriorated, although she could understand and communicate. She arrived very frail and seemed to be 'going down hill' After some very good attention to her - talking, coaxing, looking after her health she is returning to reasonable health and ability. The care staff do care and get involved with the patients and talk to them and there is a response and a positive feel within the home/community. Yes, the building could do with some TCL but the staff are the ones who make the patients feel wanted. My wife and I are very pleased with the respect and care my mother is receiving from Ashview. Thank you.

My Husband has lived at Ashview for some time and if you are looking for a good Residential/Respite home then I would urge you to consider this one. There is a lovely atmosphere the food is good and the carers are professional and above all caring, all led by the excellent hands on Manager. My husband is happy, comfortable and genuinely cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashview.

Having to leave a loved one in the care of strangers can be a worrying and stressful time but I have been very pleasantly surprised by the welcome and care shown by the staff at Ashview. My mother has dementia and has been living at Ashview for a few weeks now. The staff have shown how important it is treat each resident as an individual and to cater for those individual needs and I've enjoyed how some of the staff have struck up a relationship with mum already. There was a party when I was visiting once (complete with pub singer!) and the positive effect it had on the residents was wonderful to watch. The rest of the family have also been very impressed by Ashview so far and we feel a sense of relief that mum is in good hands.

I have nothing but praise for Ashview nursing home,and all the staff.
The manager, and another member of staff went to a lot of effort to accommodate my wife and Ion our short term stay, and all the staff are cheerful and willing to help at all times, day and night.

The food and accommodation is very good, and there is a large garden area.
I would have no hesitation to returning in the future.
