Ashview Nursing Home

My mother entered here at the beginning of December last year after several weeks in hospital with a broken hip and a couple of disastrous weeks with carers at home. The difference in her was almost immediate. Gone was the anxiety and a smile on her face again. I have been so impressed with the caring and professional staff at Ashview, who always have time to speak if I call or visit, and the tidiness and cleanliness of the home. They also take care of my mother's medication and when she has had hospital appointments have arranged ambulances to collect and return her so that my wife and I just have to meet and take care of her at the hospital. As I am having to sort out a lot of my mother's affairs I am very grateful that she is in Ashview and receiving such excellent care.

Ashview have made her feel truly at home, the care is second to none and everyone is so friendly and welcoming when I visit.

My brother moved to Ashview Nursing Home in December 2017, a hospital consultant had told me he had 'weeks, months, maybe less' to live. He was in Ashview Nursing Home for nearly three years and five months, passing away there on the fourteenth of May. The excellent care he received by everyone enabled him to live comfortably, feel respected and valued. He enjoyed the food but was also offered alternatives such as cheese on toast if that's what he fancied at the time. If I took homemade soup, I was welcome to heat it up in the kitchen for him or they would do it for me. My brother chose not to take part in activities, despite encouragement but I have seen some of these taking place when I visited and noticed the joy of the residents and staff, who were joining in. I was kept informed of any changes in his health, his wishes regarding not going to hospital unless absolutely necessary. which was on one occasion were followed and staff delivered end of life care with dignity and respect. I thoroughly recommend Ashview Nursing Home.

Our father has been at Ashview Nursing Home for nine weeks now following an unplanned stay in hospital. The friendly staff welcomed him warmly and helped him settle in, despite two weeks of Covid-19 isolation. They have been very attentive to his evolving nursing needs, personal needs and have notified us when there are matters of health concern. We feel he is safe, in good hands and there is an effective working relationship with the local GP surgery. The management team is very approachable and responsive to requests. Dad enjoys the tasty food, which is important to him and there is always a jug of squash on hand for hydration. The room is always bright, airy and clean. Covid-19 precautions for visitors are followed as per government guidelines, with flexibility shown where possible and appropriate to Dad’s approaching end-of-life. The staff extend a warm welcome to family visitors too. We are very pleased with our choice of home, which we had to make with little notice or preparation.

My mother has been a resident at Ashview for over a year now, the care she receives is second to none. The kindness and interaction given by all the staff is amazing. My mother went into Ashview for end of life care, and due to the fantastic care and dedication from staff and management that she has received, she is still with us. Ashview is a happy place for the residents to be, with many activities, workshops etc to suit every resident's needs and ability. The management have guided me through my mum's journey, with their help, care and always updating me with any issues mum may have, especially under the Covid 19 pandemic. Cleanliness is great, food is excellent, nursing staff are very kind and professional, the Manager is a tribute to the home, the carers are of a very high standard, along with the administration staff. I cannot rate Ashview highly enough, it’s like one big, happy family and I am honoured to be a part of it. Thank you to all at Ashview for everything.

My best friend of 65 years has just spent 8 weeks in Ashview on palliative care. All through that time, the staff who also had to cope with the Covid lockdown, looked after him as if he was their Grandad. Whenever I phoned because he was unable to use his mobile, whoever answered the house phone straight away, offered to take the phone to him or help him to use his mobile. His wife, family and friends were all delighted with the way he was looked after in such a sad time. Bless you - you were all wonderful.

My uncle has been a resident at Ashview Nursing Home for nearly a year. I can't praise the Manager and Staff highly enough for the way my uncle is cared for. The past six months have been exceptionally difficult for the care home sector and it is noteworthy that Ashview had no cases of Covid at all. It has been equally difficult for the residents as no visiting was allowed, but the staff were exceptional in organising activities on a daily basis to ensure the residents were still able to have fun and laugh. They organised a Beatles concert a few days ago which we were able to zoom into - the enjoyment was evident on the faces of all the residents. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Absolutely top rate and highly recommended.

The care my mother-in-law received during her stay here has been excellent. The care received from the staff has been done with dignity and always with a smile. She has been bowling and ice skating for the first time in her life and she loves the lovely garden and all the wildlife she has seen in it. Would recommend this home for its all round care and activities the staff arrange all year round.

The carers and all associated with the home are wonderful I cannot thank them enough for all they did for my husband.

Ashview Nursing Home is a lovely, friendly place with very caring, dedicated staff who are doing a great job of looking after our loved ones. All they do is much appreciated. My only reason for putting 'Good' on Facilities was due to no ensuite toilet facilities which is purely due to the age of the home. But overall excellent.

I would thoroughly recommend Ashview!

My friend had to move to Ashview at this difficult time. He was so lucky to go to this care home, the staff are so caring, the food is excellent. The home is a lovely garden and e can always have a video call with him. The manage is always there and she is trying to organise calls for all of us.

Ashview have got it right in the way they care and look after their residents. They keep in touch with the family and nothing is too much trouble. The manager is open to discussion about anything and everything to improve the well being of the individual. Hats off to them all, in these troubled times they have looked after us all very impressive.

From the day of his arrival at Ashview Nursing Home he has been so well received and welcomed into a very caring community. It is like a very large family. His room is spacious, light and clean with a beautiful view of the woodland garden. There is a good ratio of staff to residents and nothing is ever too much trouble. The meals are truly excellent and we have lunched there a couple of times. The extra activities and outings make life more fun. Overall we are delighted.

Well done Ashview.

All the staff at Ashview made my mother's last few weeks both comfortable and enjoyable for both my my mother and the family. Thank you.

Very good. Everybody was so kind and helpful to us in all things. The whole place was so clean and we did the right thing putting her there. We thank you again so much even though it was short. Thanks again. I myself thought that the staff and management were first class and I wish them all the best for the future.

I would like to thank the manager and her fabulous team, for taking such good care of my grandmother and always being so supportive towards me.

The quality of care and nursing my mother received was excellent. All of the staff were knowledgable about her condition whenever I visited. They really do care at Ashview. The food is always freshly prepared by the chef and is varied. Activities are organised to stimulate lovely ambience. Property maintenance was evident. I thoroughly recommend Ashview, my mother was very well and attentively cared for.

Early days yet but so far things seem to be going well. On my visit 2/7/19 my wife appears to be more content than usual.
