Ashton Lodge

My mother has been a resident at Ashton Lodge since October 2012 and has settled in well and is well-cared for by the staff. She is happy there and tells me that she likes her room and how clean it is. The staff are friendly towards the residents and treat them with kindness and respect and ensure their needs are met. I am my mothers only relative and am happy and confident that when I go on holiday she will be safe and well cared for when I am not visiting. There is a very nice garden should residents wish to spend time outside.

From the beginning, I was put at ease. Everything was explained and I was greeted by all with a smiling face. Everyone said 'hello' and it was great to see the residents happy and smiling. My husband has really settled in and is happy there. I would recommend this home to everybody.

My mother was taken into Ashton Lodge in November 2014 with dementia and the transition went very smoothly. I used to visit her every other day and I found her situation to be very comfortable and reassuring. In my opinion, I found her surroundings and care to be of the highest standards and the staff commitment likewise. The care home manager is a credit to your company and would finish by saying on my arrival I was always welcomed with refreshments and kindness. Many thanks.

When trying to find a placement for my step mother, the manager and staff went out of their way to help in every respect. They are kind, compassionate, committed people doing a first class job, in some times, challenging situations. My stepmother has advanced dementia and can be difficult on occasion. The home is extremely well managed, they are 100% committed to the welfare of the residents. It has been a huge relief to me, to know that my stepmother is safe, well fed and cared for.

The care and attention my father received during his 15 months as a resident of Ashton Lodge was first class. All the staff showed care and compassion at all times. You couldn't ask for more.

We made our usual visit to Ashton Lodge today (22/6/16). We are always greeted warmly, we found our relative in the lounge enjoying a quiz. He looked clean, tidy and happy. We were brought tea and biscuits during our visit and enjoyed a lovely chat with one of the carers. Our relative's room was beautifully clean and tidy as is the norm. We spent a good while with our relative discussing up and coming events and trips out. Confirmed that his diabetes is being managed superbly and the food is wonderful. Such lovely people at Ashton Lodge - so glad we found you.

Lovely, friendly welcoming home with friendly staff. My grandmother has just moved into the home and has settled in really well as a result of the warm atmosphere. There are many activities and things to do for residents. The home is a perfect home.

The care home is lovely. The room could not be better. The staff were very kind and caring, both to me and my father. Nothing was too much trouble. We were so lucky to come here.

My mothers condition has worsened and it means she will move to the dementia unit upstairs. I am in total agreement with this decision. It has been explained to me in full and I have every confidence that my mum will be well cared for.

From the moment you step through the door there is a smile to greet you. Both receptionists understand your needs, not just the service user but visiting family too. The activities lady lights up so many faces. The whole nursing staff and orderlies have such a great working relationship which is clear to see. Team work is excellent and this all goes into making mums future at Ashton Lodge happy, safe and enjoyable.

My friend is bed bound at present so everyone pops their head in her room to see if she needs anything. She loves every minute and I'm so glad she took the plunge into this Nursing home, she has no regrets. The whole staff need a pat on the back for a job well done!!

And now that her life has come to an end we wish you all farewell and hope you will remember her smile as her way of joining us in this big ''thank you''.
