Ashgrove House is very homely. The staff are very caring and efficient. As a visitor, they always show interest in me as well as keeping them up to date with my sister's health and care. My whole family are more than satisfied with the care and surroundings at Ashgrove House.
Dear Eileen
Thank you for your lovely review of Ashgrove House, we will continue to carry out an excellent service.
Warm regards,
The team.
I always feel welcome when visiting. Excellent communication with regards to my father-in-law's care. There is a wide range of activities going on. Residents are given choice of food and drink at each meal.
The staff at Ashgrove House are excellent, also the care is. When you walk in it is like going into a family home. I am very pleased my aunt is here.
My sister and I are so glad we chose this nursing home. The staff are so kind and caring. The home provides entertainment and activities on a daily basis keeping the residents happy and involved. We are always kept updated with news of the home and on how our mother is doing. I would recommend Ashgrove to anyone who asked.
