Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother arrived at Ashton Lodge in March 2025 after a very stressful year at home due to constant falls and it becoming apparent due to her various medical conditions that even having 4 carers a day was just not enough for her.
From the beginning of her stay, I have seen how professional all the
staff are. I have seen nothing but kindness to my mother who due to her dementia can be awkward and challenging at times, she did struggle to settle in at the beginning and all the staff were very patient and kind with her. All her visitors have commented how much better she looks with the care that she now receives


The atmosphere is friendly, warm, calm and welcoming. My mother has even put on weight as she is now enjoying all that the menu can offer her


All the staff from Management, Nurses, Carers, Cooks, Cleaners, Admin, Activity co-ordinators, Laundry lady and the lovely, friendly receptionist have made what could have been a very stressful time so much easier for us as a family.

The care home is very welcoming and good overall. People are good, friendly and helpful. One of my family members are residing over there and he's been treated well. Just require a little bit of more attention towards him from the carers as he's having a bit of serious trauma and injury which led to
him in this condition. The staff is good but I think carers could be more helpful and attentive. Overall, all good from my side.

Since my dad has been in the home he has had a great experience, he feels very settled, which in turn helps me to feel happy he's being looked after well.
All the staff are pleasant, friendly & dad loves having a little bit of banter with them.
I cannot praise the home enough, everyone from management
to cleaners are so polite & always take time to chat, both to dad & myself.
They know me by first name & im starting to know a few more names myself of the staff, we have a chat either in passing or when im sitting with dad.
Im kept up to date with dad's appointments etc & on occasion where dad has needed a doctor, one has been to see him very promptly.
Im looking forward to going on one of the seaside trips with dad that the home have organised for residents.

Over the last month, my uncle's health has deteriorated, his conditions evolvement has been explained and when we press management, they do respond.
Unfortunately, everytime we visit, he's thirsty and hungry, the only answer are that he doesn't want to eat or drink.
No input or output chart available,
so as it's £1500 per week, where is the care and time given to help him.

Review from Christine H (Sister of Resident) published on 3 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is a worrying, stressful time searching for a home for a family member. We were struck by the commitment from the manager and her team to make Ashton Lodge a real home.
This desire and ambition from the top permeates the building.
The atmosphere is always calm despite the challenging behaviour
of some of the residents. The staff are warm, patient and kind, addressing all by their first names. Ashton Lodge is a welcoming, and enthusiastic place. The manager is readily available and her office door is open. My brother tells me he is happy with everything and gives every impression of being so. His wishes are always respected. The food menu is imaginative and well-cooked. It is served and cleared in a positive, jolly manner. It is obvious that the residents enjoy their mealtimes, sitting around small tables. The staff have made a real effort to create a cafe-like space. The medical care has been first rate and the family are emailed promptly should there be anything to report.
Reply from Michelle David, Manager at Ashton Lodge

It was an outstanding service no two words about it! 1st impression, meeting the management was unexplainable to share in words. Very approachable, understanding, full of empathy, great attitude. You don't find it in many places where people want to help and go that extra mile, is my experience. They
supported us immensely in the most crucial time of our need to house my sister during a short emergency visit overseas.
Also to mention the welcoming staff were professional and the whole 2 weeks experience was peaceful and we had peace of mind while we were away. The entire staff was very caring, warm and amazing people in person and on the phone. I never saw anybody stressed but beautiful smiles on their faces. Very inviting and great attitude among all. After all the most important thing was my sister being happy there.

Mum settled in lovely to the home in January. The staff and care have been superb and mum is really happy. The facilities are good too. The place is really welcoming and everyone is so friendly. The food is fab and the activities are good for my mum who can be a bit challenging at times. I looked at
a few homes but this one was by far the best and hasn't let us down. I was always so anxious about Mum's care in the past as it wasn't great, however this home I know I can trust them to look after her well. I have been able to go away for a week, knowing she was in good hands.
Well done to the team there. It's a lovely place to live and to go and visit your loved ones.

My father has been a resident at Ashton Lodge since March 2024.
I speak on behalf of myself and the entire family when we say that we are extremely happy with the care our father has received during his time. Although he can be difficult sometimes, they treat him with respect and have so much patience.
All
of the staff are always very happy and take time to have a chat about my father and how he has been if we are not able to visit him as often as we would like.
The food is always hot and varied, from breakfast to supper time.
I visited my father at a time when there was a singer entertaining the residents, she was brilliant and very engaging with everyone.
We are always kept updated by all of the staff, from receiving a phone call or by passing one of the nursing team, with any issues that may of arisen.
We cannot fault the care our father is receiving and it is very comforting to know that when we are not able to visit, we know he is receiving the best possible care and attention.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visit my father frequently at Ashton Lodge and every time we are greeted warmly by staff. I appreciate that it's not set within acres of greenery and it may not look modern from the outside, but that is not as important as the service provided by the care team which has been great.
The staff look
after all my father's needs and he has a good relationship with several team members.
The professionalism of Ashton Lodge's care team has shown me that it's imperative for those dealing with dementia patients, to have knowledge of the condition including how to react when there's a dementia-induced flare-up.
It's unfortunate, despite dementia being in the headlines, most people just don't understand this devastating illness nor how to interact with dementia patients.
Patience and sincere knowledge-based care is what patients need - holding their hands through this immensely challenging time.
Keep up the good work Ashton Lodge!

The care home managers and staff are exceptional. They work with some of the most challenging patients and continue to perform their roles with a smile on their faces and a positive attitude. They always make extra efforts to make a connection with my father, the patient with dementia, and with the
family when we visit weekly. I cannot recommend the staff more highly and a big thank you to the manager and one member of staff in particular and all the team for making such a challenging condition so much smoother and their team members give us invaluable peace of mind. My father really enjoys the communal approach, the activities and being with other patients like him, I am so grateful for all the efforts and for even taking the time to understand the sometimes-challenging family dynamics which can come when you have a family member with dementia, something only dementia carers understand.

Since being moved to Ashton Lodge during Covid the home team has offered excellent care and is kind, patient and understanding towards our mum.
Whilst the drive and entrance to the home may not have the best kerb appeal the home team more than make up for this with their attitude towards every resident
being treated as a person with their own individual needs.
The team works hard to make sure the home is well maintained and always well presented and each member of the team makes sure they know each resident so there is always a friendly smile and word or two for anyone that needs it. Whilst we may not have been able to choose the home due to circumstances when it was needed, we feel very lucky that Mum is cared for so well.

My husband was transferred to Ashton Lodge 3 months ago. He suffers from delusional dementia and various other conditions that affect his life.
Since moving to Ahston Lodge he has become less distressed and agitated. The nursing staff are kind and caring with him. This is something he responds to well.
They ensure he has a comfortable, warm room and bed. Plus he is given his food and tablets regularly. He is encouraged to interact with other residents. My family are very happy that he is at Ashton Lodge.

It might not look pretty from the outside but don't judge by appearances: I've been extremely happy with the care, cleanliness and efficiency of Ashton Lodge. Our mum has frontotemporal dementia and requires one-to-one care, and whenever I visit the carer is there by her side. Mum's condition is challenging:
she has greatly reduced mobility and speech, rips up her clothes, can lash out and be extremely rude, and is double incontinent. All are handled with care and respect by the staff, and the medication prescribed by the GP is administered on time and effectively. There was no complaint from the home when Mum ripped up her mattress - it was simply replaced. New flooring went in recently, the food seems good, and the home doesn't smell unpleasant, as I've found in previous homes (Mum was moved around a bit before she settled at Ashton). The manager is friendly and always available if we need to discuss anything; importantly she takes swift action if there are any special needs.

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michelle David

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

My career in Health and Social started as a result of my grandfather being terminally ill. He was being cared for in a hospice which was not caring for him the way we had expected. As a family, a Decision was made to take him home and care for him. One day when supporting my grandfather I had an epiphany that maybe this is what I should be doing. I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives by ensuring they have a good quality of life for the rest of their lives. I graduated with a BSC Psychology degree and went on to achieve Health & social vocational qualifications.


After graduating I went on to become a Dementia support worker and developed my career very quickly in Management.


I have worked for 20 years in the sector in different capacities and am extremely passionate about providing a high standard of quality care.

I enjoy developing teams and supporting them to reach their full potential.
