Review from Pauline M (Sister of Resident) published on 31 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Staff are very efficient, caring, considerate and polite. Nothing is too much trouble and made the care home a home from home and managed to cater for any special needs of patients. Staff mixed together very well with no internal arguments and the home was very well managed.

Overall Experience
Excellent care of my mum in respite after a hospital stay. Attentive and friendly staff, really made my mum feel welcome. Also liked how visitors felt accepted and respected. It felt like the staff couldn't do enough for you. I would recommend Ashgrove.

Review from Mary S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My experience of Ashgrove Care Home (The Coppice) was one where I felt my mother in law was being cared for in a loving, kindly way. As her dementia progressed to a state where she was bedridden and could no longer do anything for herself. The staff treated her to the very best of their ability. She was kept clean and the bed linen changed regularly. He room was clean and although my mother in law could no longer communicate with us she was always peaceful when we visited the home. They always made us feel welcome.

Review from Jayne W (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother has had deteriorating health over the past few weeks. This has led to today, when sadly she passed away. The care and compassion over particulary this last week, has been excellent. The care staff, both day and night and nursing have been fantastic. The dignity that they have shown my mother and support they have given me is overwhelming. I cannot thank them enough. My mother has had 4 years living at the home and I can honestly say in her own way she has been happy, content and well cared for, despite being short staffed for the dependency of residents.

Overall Experience
Ashgrove Care Home are very caring, especially the carers. They really looked after my Mum. She went in the home 7th January and passed away 20th March. She fought really hard. We went every day to see her and you become like a little family. I would recommend the home to others.

Review from Judith S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother was admitted to Ashgrove for respite care, having neglected herself. The care she received led to her feeling well, being well nourished, and she enjoyed the company of a few residents. As a relative, I was welcomed and able to talk about my mother's needs, care and progress. I was pleased she improved.
I did notice her hair was cared for by the hairdresser and podiatry needs addressed. My worries were for the level of hand hygiene residents are encouraged to reach, because my mother's nails looked dirty at each visit (only 4 since I live away). I worry vision, dental, auditory care/assessments limited. I worry staff limit their attention to some dementia residents, however my mother being easy to care for was always respected.
