Ash Lodge Care Home with Nursing

My father was 94 when he moved to Ash lodge and had a whole array of medical problems, that would have presented a challenge to anyone looking after him, but he was always shown great care and treated with respect and dignity and I observed this first hand as I was a frequent visitor. The hygiene standards are excellent and all the staff were always so kind, and helpful if I had a query or problem concerning my dad. I am so grateful he spent his final year in the care of the staff at Ash Lodge and have no hesitation in recommending the Home to anyone who is looking to place their loved one in a home where they will be looked after and well cared for.

Your grateful charges thank you for all the love you've shown'.

I'm so grateful to them all for caring for Mom, it is such a relief to know she's being looked after.

I am happy with the standard of care my daughter receives. The staff are friendly and have provided a high standard of care. Any concerns I have raised have been dealt with promptly.

I visit my friend on a regular basis and I always find staff extremely helpful, professional and competent. My friend only has good things to say about her care and well-being.

My mom was admitted to Ash Lodge Care Home in April 2023 following a fall at home, suffering a head injury. After months in the hospital no improvement in her mobility and showing no signs in her capacity to self-care (whereas she was always independent) the decision was made for her to be referred to Ash Lodge Care Home. To mine and my brother's surprise, our mom was in the best care environment for her needs. The staff and management are the best team, caring, friendly, compassionate, helpful and kind bunch of people I have ever met. Knowing I can sleep at night, knowing my mom is in safe hands and being cared for by this amazing team is beyond compassion for human life and their caring dedicated nature. I will be forever grateful to Ash Lodge team for making my mom's stay with them feeling loved and cared for in her final years.

Dad was transferred to Ash Lodge from hospital. The care and understanding of Dad’s needs are amazing. All the staff do their best to make him comfortable and his needs catered for. We weren’t prepared for this step for Dad, however more than happy so far with Dad's care, he has now been with them for four weeks.

Although my mom was only in Ash Lodge Care Home with Nursing for a very short time before she passed away, the staff treated her with the care and respect she deserved. The staff went above and beyond looking after my mom. I just wish they got to know Mom as they would have loved her and I know she would have loved them. After my mom passed away they treated her with the upmost dignity also advising me of exactly what to do and how to go about it. I would recommend Ash Lodge in a heartbeat if anyone was looking for a safe, caring and loving home for their loved one.

After viewing quite a few care homes as soon as I walked into Ash Lodge Care Home with Nursing it felt like the right place for my dad. My dad spent the last 6 weeks of his life in Ash Lodge and couldn’t have received better care.

From the warm welcome to the medical care, we find it hard to fault. We are kept informed by phone if necessary to her needs. Able to visit at any time, instils confidence in us to the daily runnings of the home. More important is that she is happy and settled. We have been visiting for two years and have seen little changes in staff who always speak, smile and are courteous and caring

I, like most people never wanted to reach a situation where a relation I loved and cared for had to be moved into a care home facility but unfortunately in 2022 that time came. I’ll never forget the reassurances those at Ash Lodge provided me whilst an end-of-life care package was set up, alongside the care and attention they showed my relation whilst in their physical care. Although the time there was brief, my relation was content and well cared for in facilities that were clean and well-maintained. Carers greeted me by name and acknowledged me as their main contact I had a clear knowledge of their conditions and took any comments made on board and were contactable 24/7. I will be forever grateful to those who helped make my aunt's last weeks, days and hours as comfortable and as dignified as possible and I truly believe they cared for them as if they were one of their own.

I chose Ash Lodge Care Home because it was near to my father's home. May I say how good the staff were in helping my father what turned out to be his last few years. Professional and caring on a personal level. Unfortunately, when he passed away at ninety-one and we had the funeral the hearse stopped outside Ash Lodge and as a mark of respect, the staff were all outside in a line which moved both me and my husband to tears. I wish them the best for the future.

Our lovely mom has been in Ash Lodge Care Home for the last 12 weeks for rehab for her fractured shoulder. We have never had to worry about mom, as the staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble. Even when passing mom's room they always stop and make conversation. Such a wonderful little place. Our mom's coming home soon, so we as a family would like to say a very big thank you to the manager and all her staff for looking after our mom. Keep up the excellent work.

I know my wife is in the best possible place for her care needs, being looked after by the most caring of staff. My wife hasn't got a clue what is going on about her due to dementia but I am confident that all of her care needs are met and staff still treat her with dignity and respect. Thank you.

I would like to thank all the staff at Ash Lodge for the wonderful care they have taken of my mother. She was with them for 7 months on end-of-life care. They could not have looked after her any better if she had been their own mother. The family cannot express our gratitude enough for your care and support through this sad time. You are all angels.

She hasn't experienced any activities etc. as she has been bedbound. However, the staff have been in her room to spend time with her in other ways which I appreciate.

Made welcome at all times. Staff will make time to talk. It always looks clean and tidy and smells fresh on every visit.

Since being in Ash Lodge, my mother has thrived. The staff have good interaction with the residents and encourages them in areas where needed. (Example, earing, taking medication). I have always found the staff to be polite and willing to help with any queries I may have. The level of care is very high, and I enjoy visiting the home. I would certainly recommend Ash Lodge to anyone who needed to go into care.

My mother was transferred to this care home in late August and sadly passed away on 02/09/21. Her stay was short but during that time she and myself and my daughter were treated with respect and care for the three of us. Nothing was too much trouble. We were kept informed all through Mom's stay. I know she would have been happy if her stay wasn't cut short. The staff gave my mother the dignity she deserved when she passed and we cannot thank them enough for the kindness and care they gave us.

As a family, the last thing we wanted was to have to have mom put into care, however being lucky enough to have found mom a place at Ash Lodge has removed all the pressure and guilt of not being able to care for her in her own home with dad. The quality of care and service coupled with amazing staff at all levels means that we know mom is safe, well cared for, and wants for nothing, most importantly giving my dad peace of mind. Thank you.
