Ashton Lodge

I find this home suitable for my requirements at present. The staff do their best despite staff shortages from time to time. They keep up residents morale even the most difficult residents suffering dementia. It is my opinion that most of the residents help one another whenever they can.

During 2020 the opportunity to visit has been very limited due to COVID 19 and the lockdown. However, on my previous numerous visits, I have found the home to be friendly, well run by the Home Manager and staff with good facilities.

Nice Carers.

I like the cakes I eat.

I'm very pleased with the standard of care that my grandmother has received. Staff are always friendly and attentive and always greet my family and me by name. Every effort is taken to make my Grandmother comfortable. I also feel that my feedback to the carers and nurses are valued and taken on board. Ashton Lodge has a lovely homely feel to it and I'm extremely grateful for al;l they've done for myself and family.

The staff are all exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rooms are pleasant. Slightly concerned that residents can wander into everyone's rooms. Overall acceptable.

We have visited this home on many occasions in the last four and a half years have always been welcomed and asked if we need a seat drink. My sister has been well looked after which has been comforting staff are amazing and kind.

Lots of parties and celebrations throughout the year.

My mother has been at Ashton Lodge for three and a half years. I highly recommend the level of care, patience and dignity offered to residents. The staff could not be kinder and more attentive and my mother could not be better cared for which is a great comfort.

My partner has been at Ashton Lodge since early 2017. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff who work on the first floor. They always welcome me when I visit and tell me about what has been happening or how my partner is. They are a very caring and friendly bunch, even when stretched to their limits.

My mother is very well looked after in most ways. The carers are brilliant and so are the nurses and all other staff, but could do with a few more staff as they are very overworked. My mother has someone to talk to whenever she needs it. The food is very good and I can now, at last, know she is safe, well-fed and generally looked after.

All this was cared for by nursing and care staff. He suffered from dreadful urine infections and again urology let us try without it, again a success. He always received prompt attention when necessary, tender care and consideration, even the staff who cooked scrambled eggs. Sadly he died very quickly, his GP, head nurse, nurses and carers made his last days and mine as smooth as they were able. Since then I have been contacted by Ashton Lodge, they are still watching out for me. I am indebted to each and every one of the staff. We both came to love and respect you all.

To all staff at Ashton Lodge. Nothing can possibly convey my sense of gratitude to you all for the kindness and care you showed to my dad. He was very contented during his time at the home and often said how lovely the staff were. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

The care my mother receives is excellent. As I live overseas, and visit when able, I thoroughly recommend Ashton Lodge.

My mother was a very independent lady up until she was almost 100 years old. She was very resistant to living in a care home and took a while to settle and to realize that she could no longer care for herself at home. The staff at Ashton Lodge were very caring and were ready to have a laugh with her and help her in every way. She was in their care for nine months and in letters, I received from her she commented on their caring attitude and said how lucky she was to be there. I am so grateful to all the management and staff.

My auntie was in Ashton Lodge for nine years, came to end of life in January. She received lovely end of life care and respect from all the staff.

My wife was cared for at Ashton Lodge for 3 1/2 years. She received excellent care albeit she could be challenging due to her dementia. The staff have always been friendly and helpful. I have no hesitation in recommending Ashton Lodge.

The staff were very sensitive to our needs and saw it important that family and friends were offered hospitality when present and not only at meal times. I never worried about his care when I wasn't present. I trusted them implicitly. I cannot praise the home enough.

Great complex.

My father in law was a resident of Ashton Lodge for over six years. Everything, and I mean everything, that Ashton Lodge did for him was exemplary. I cannot praise them enough. The staff were absolutely fantastic.
