Mum has been at Ashton House since June 2025 and I cannot praise the management and staff enough for their professional enthusiasm and care for all the residents, but especially my mum. Well done everybody.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. We will surely pass the positive comments and appreciation to the team.
My uncle was admitted to the nursing home, but it was only for a few days unfortunately. But his time there was lovely. He was cared for so well and had a wonderful team of nurses looking after him. They were all very caring and so lovely, not just to my uncle, but to us all. They couldn't do enough for us, very attentive and helpful, and so supportive at a very sad time. We as a family just wish he had come to stay with you back last year when he had to go to a home, 100% things would have been so different; he would still be with us today.
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to review us. I will be sure to pass your message along to the team. They always strive to provide the best possible care for the residents and families at Ashton House.
Dad was transferred here for palliative care. The staff were beyond amazing, the care they provided and showed dad was exceptional from day 1. Everyone knew Dad's needs, especially as they changed along his final journey. I cannot fault them in any way. Plenty of staff on duty at all times, friendly, caring, helpful. All with a smile. 100% recommend Aston House - I have viewed a lot of homes, which are disgraceful. Well done to all at Ashton House.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to the team.
My husband has settled in well. He enjoys the variety of activities on offer to residents and the food. The staff are always so pleasant.
I would highly recommend this nursing home. The care they showed to mum was second to none. They were so friendly and anything we wanted was not a problem.
The care and help my brother receives is outstanding. He's improved so much with his eating and he is so much happier. The staff are all amazing with everyone not just my brother. It's just an amazing place where I know he is looked after and safe.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. The team at Ashton House works hard to keep all our residents safe and happy, and your appreciation means a lot to us.
I just want to say a massive thanks for giving my father in his last month of life such an lovely place with amazing staff who not only looked after him but also us, constantly checking if we were OK asking if we wanted refreshments of seats every time we was there, but also even saying hi or good morning as well just being nice on a human touch.
A special praise to a few I want to mention
1) The 2 reception staff, a big smile every time we visited, profession but compassionate as well and could not do enough to help with anything we needed, a real credit to your company2) Deepak the head nurse so approachable a genuine nice person who again always seemed to be around when we needed including today the day after my father sadly passed away, a real credit to your company
All in all a lovely place who I would highly recommend.
Thank you so much for taking time to review us. We will be sharing your feedback with our team.
He was looked after extremely well, with his personal care and feeding him good quality meals.
I wish we'd moved him there sooner.
Thank you for taking time to review us. We will be sharing this with our team.
I have found the home to be very well run, the residents are well cared for, and I am informed whenever there is a problem. The food always looks good. Overall, I think it's a very good home.
Thank you for your kind words we will share with the staff
Happy Christmas
Our father had advanced alzheimers when he came to Ashton Gouse, and he quickly regained the weight he had lost whilst in hospital. He spent more than two peaceful years in their care. Whilst the furnishing in other places may look more plush, it is the kindness and quality of care that matters. The nursing, care, laundry & cleaning staff have been excellent. We spent many hours with Dad in his final weeks and night or day they were unfailingly patient, respectful and thoughtful towards Dad and us. We appreciate deeply the care that they gave to him and the sacrifices they make to do this job. Thank you for creating a caring, clean and compassionate environment.
thank you for your kind words, we will share your lovely feedback to our staff
Happy Christmas

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us the feedback. We will be sharing this with our team.
Amazing care was given to my dear dad, who lost his life to Lewy Body Dementia. He was looked after so well by the wonderful team at Ashton House. They all delivered compassionate end of life care and looked after us when we visited every day. Thank you to a very special team.
Thank you for taking time to review us. Your comments mean a lot to our team who is working constantly to ensure our residents and families are happy in our care. We will be sharing this with our team.

Nothing is too much for nurses and care assistants.
Kind, supportive, sensitive to the needs of patient and their family. Incredibly patient and their family. Incredibly patient/tolerant.
The resident loved the food too! Said they have never tasted a better omelette in their whole life (91 years!)
Thank you for your kindness, professionalism and humanity. Eternally grateful.
thank you for your kind words, i will share this with the staff team at handover and they will be very pleased to hear this lovely feedback.
Thank you
My mum was at Ashton House for around 6 months, after having a stroke. I live in America and travelled back many times to be with her. The care she received was excellent and every nurse was compassionate and helped me be reassured about the medical care she was receiving when I couldn't be there. I shall always be grateful that she was looked after by such amazing supportive staff. Thank you
We greatly appreciate the positive feedback and would like to acknowledge that our team consistently endeavors to provide the highest quality of care to our residents. Thank you once again for your kind words.
My father spent 5 weeks at Ashton House as a respite care resident. The decoration and general appearance is not 5 star but the amazing staff definitely are. Always smiling! They went above and beyond to care for my dad. He improved so much in those 5 weeks. The home is very clean and the food was excellent. My father and I cannot thank them enough.
