I can't thank the staff enough for the wonderful care my husband receives. He has advanced Alzhiemers and depends on people to give him full nursing care. My husband has a most beautiful room, a carpet and lots of sunshine making it a calming place to be for him and our family.
Also
Askham House is very dog friendly too, we bring our two dogs in to see my husband.
The place is spotlessly clean always and smells pleasant.
I have full confidence in all of the staff they look after my husband and keep him safe. Also they will keep me informed of any changes too.
Reply from Manu Magar, Head of Care and Nursing Services at Askham House

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. We're truly touched to hear how much you value the care your husband receives at Askham House.

We're also so pleased that your dogs are part of those visits - we know how important those connections are. Thank you again for taking the time to share this. It means the world to all of us here.

Overall the care staff are wonderful. They care. The ratio of staff to resident is concerning, low. It becomes obvious that standards are substantially raised prior to an inspection.
Reply from Manu Magar, Head of Care and Nursing Services at Askham House

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly grateful for your kind words about our care staff and the dedication they show - it's heartening to know their efforts are recognised. We're also sorry to hear about your concerns and want to reassure you that we take them seriously. We are committed to providing consistently high standards of care every day, not just during inspections. As part of our standard practice, we review each resident's dependency needs on a monthly basis - or sooner if required - and ensure that safe staffing levels are in place at all times to meet these needs. Your comments will be shared with the wider team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve. If you would like to arrange a follow-up meeting with the Home Manager or a Director, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. Thank you again for your honesty and for helping us do better.

Mum lived at Askham House for 13 months until her passing in March 2025. During that time I was happy to be able to walk away from my visits knowing that Mum was in a comfortable, pleasant and safe environment, receiving excellent personal and medical care from the staff who, at all levels, were genuinely
caring and helpful. As a family we were always included and kept updated with every aspect of Mum's care needs and relied on the professionalism and expertise of the staff who assisted us through some difficult times.
Reply from Manu Magar, Head of Care and Nursing Services at Askham House

Thank you for your thoughtful and moving review. We're truly sorry for your loss. It was an honour to care for your mum during her time at Askham House. Knowing that you felt reassured after each visit and supported by our team means so much to us. We're especially grateful for your kind words about our staff's professionalism, compassion, and the way we communicated with your family throughout. Thank you for your trust and for allowing us to be part of your mum's journey.

I can highly recommend Askham House. My husband has been there for 6 years now. He has the best care anyone could ask for. Although my husband is in a wheelchair and can not do anything for himself the care he receives is outstanding. He can not speak but the staff read him so well. He is always well
presented clean and tidy. Hair and nails too. I do have the time to be his wife and enjoy my time with him.
His food is tailored for his needs too, the chef takes note of residents choices and needs. (Food always smells good and looks good too.
All staff from cares, nurses and management excel in their work.
Thank Askham for being our extended family.

My beloved Dad has been a resident at Askham since before Covid. He has very limited abilities these days but the staff always ensure he is well turned out and that he has a shave (as being clean shaven was his preference when he was well). My Dad struggles to eat and the chef had a conversation with
my Mum about how they could encourage him to eat more by making some of his favourite meals. The staff also make a conscious effort to bring him into the communal space in his wheelchair and move him to his bed at mealtimes as he eats better there. It is sad that Dad is so unwell but I am confident he is being well looked after at Askham.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has Alzheimer's and after a fall at home needed to go into hospital. After six weeks in there I was told she was in the last stages of her illness, had only a short time to live and needed to be moved into a care home with nursing palliative for end of life care. I was given a list of suitable
care homes but only Askham House was in reasonable travelling distance. I had 24 hours to decide and no chance to view. I agreed she should go there but had concerns about the unknown. I need not have worried. From my first visits there I knew I had made the right decision. The home is well laid out. spotlessly clean and fresh smelling, calm and inviting. The individual rooms are lovely. The nursing staff and carers are kind, friendly and totally dedicated. Because of this my wife's short time to live has now stretched to over a year and although she can't communicate, she is content and stress free.

My mother has been in this wonderful care home for almost 4 years. She has dementia and now unable to feed herself. She is always clean and tidy and has regular showers and hair washes (which in elderly people is not always easy to achieve) Her room is light, airy and always clean. All staff are so
friendly and welcoming when we visit. We find the lead nurses always easy to talk to and if we have any queries they are happy to answer them. Staff are efficient, caring, respectful and treat all residents with dignity.

My husband has dementia and is bed-bound, cannot feed himself, and is doubly incontinent. I cannot fault the care he receives. He is always clean and tidy and in clean bedding. His room is very comfortable, light, airy, and very clean. The carers are lovely people, very attentive and friendly, and treat
him with dignity. They are respectful when engaging with him and they answer any questions I may ask. Cups of tea/coffee are always offered to me when I visit. His appointed carers regularly ask me if I have any concerns. The nurses and lead nurses are very efficient, friendly and so caring. Very available when I visit if I need to ask anything.

Review from Liv N (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad stayed at Askham House for 2 weeks in July. He is in the late stages of Alzheimer's and Vascular Dementia. The previous care home we tried couldn't cope with him as he is very physically able and would try and escape.
At Askham House, there is nothing too much for the carers. If Dad wanted to walk,
they walked with him and it didn't matter what time of day or night this was. There are beautiful gardens surrounding the buildings and the carers would walk outside with him. The Head of Care and Nursing is amazing and ensured that we were not worried and that Dad was given lots of attention. He looked very happy every day when we visited and also looked super healthy. Our previous experience left us really concerned as he had been given medication daily so that he would stay still.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Askham House and we will definitely be taking Dad back for further breaks.
Thank you!

Dad spent two weeks here at the beginning of January 2019, he was receiving end of life care. The level of care, attention and kindness shown to both Dad and myself was exceptional.
Dad had a lovely room and bathroom which was perfect for his needs. The staff were always on hand to support both of
us with whatever we needed. I am so thankful that Dad was lucky enough to get a room in Askham House, it was definitely the right thing to do for both of us. I was able to revert back to being his daughter and spend quality time with him knowing that all the staff were there to care for and nurse him as required.
I have no complaints whatsoever, only enormous thanks to everyone who cared for Dad and made his last days more comfortable.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.704)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.704) out of 10 for Askham House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.704 for Askham House is calculated as follows: ( (141 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 186 Ratings = 4.704
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Askham House is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 15 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.
