Ashwood Care & Nursing Home

My uncle has lived here for some months and he is very happy, it hasn’t all been plain sailing for him but the staff have cared for him really well during his ups and downs. I am kept up to date with news etc and I can’t fault their kindness. I would like to say if anyone is thinking about a home for their loved one I would strongly suggest a visit.

Such a shame Mum isn't eating as the food here looks amazing.

Good attentive resident care, responsive to care requests.

Dad has now been a resident for over 18 months. His care from the outset has been exceptional with the carers and all medical and other staff treating him with respect, kindness and compassion at all times. And always very professional. Covid then presented a whole host of logistical problems for Ashwood and all care homes. I believe Ashwood took the only sensible and pragmatic approach by restricting access to relatives until after the home was virus free and then employing strict safety protocols. As always, Ashwood put the safety and care of its residents at the forefront which was always reassuring for relatives. During these extremely difficult times, all staff have maintained their professionalism throughout and there remains a very positive and friendly atmosphere within the home, which is a great comfort to residents and relatives alike.

I am extremely happy with all aspects of care my Mum receives from all of the staff at Ashwood. They are a great team. They show compassion, respect and value her privacy and dignity. We have a video call twice a week which my sister and I look forward to. We are able to see how well cared for and how comfortable and settled she is. The home itself is lovely and bright and is spotlessly clean and fresh. There are comfortable airy lounges to sit in. Mum’s possessions are respected and she can personalise her room. Her clothes are laundered and organised very well. All in all, Ashwood lives up to my expectations on how a Nursing/Care home should be. My sister and I have peace of mind knowing that Mum is being expertly cared for.

My relative has been in the Home for about a year. During this time I have found the staff to be very caring and attentive. Although I am unable to visit my relative very often, I am kept well informed of his condition on a regular basis either by email or telephone. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ashwood Nursing Home.

Throughout the time my husband has been in Ashwood it has been so encouraging to see the way he has received such good care in every area of his individual needs. I have a continuing sense of peace and gratitude knowing that he is safe and so well cared for especially during the past year which has been so challenging for us all. Ashwood staff are always approachable, helpful and working so hard to maintain a good standard of care even in the most difficult of circumstances and have done an excellent job coping with all the extra demands on them during the past year. As a relative of a resident, I am so grateful for all that my loved one daily receives especially while my contact with him is so restricted at this present time. It gives me peace of mind to know that he is in excellent hands in a safe and secure environment. Ashwood is a lovely place filled with lovely staff who are dedicated and committed to their work who have created a special place for our loved ones to call home.

Everyone we have dealt with has been friendly and professional. They all try that extra half mile especially during the settling in period. Would not be surprised if the home's team mantra was; 'Nothing is too much trouble!'

My mother has been in residence here for over a year. I have found the facility to be of a constant very high standard. The staff are absolutely capable and wonderful and caring people. Mother has had a few health problems for many years these were taken on board and have been looked after in an amazing way. Her care has been exceptional and I could not praise this establishment enough to do it justice. Let's just say if I ever need this type of care I would be more than happy to be there myself. I think that is the best way in which I could describe it.

Mum's care needs have changed and not only are the manager and her team supporting mum, but her daughters as well. Ashwood is a lovely home.

My dad was a respite resident for 5 weeks from mid-January 2020 while my mum was in hospital. He was physically very able, but suffered from vascular dementia. The care he received at Ashwood was excellent. He was treated with kindness, care, understanding and dignity, and always as an individual with his personal likes and dislikes etc. We felt that Dad was in a really safe and caring environment. The home was always spotlessly clean, and never had that awful smell that a lot of homes have. There was plenty of room for Dad to walk around as much and as often as he liked, and when the weather permitted he was sometimes taken for a walk outside. One of the highlights for him was being taken out in the minibus for coffee (weekly?). There were activities for the residents if they chose to take part, although Dad was happy just to watch on many occasions. A really lovely home.

I "thank" the Home Manager and staff at Ashwood Nursing Home for their dedication in making this happen.

As he had only the clothes that he was wearing, one of the staff went shopping and purchased some new clothes for him. The Management team also arranged for a member of staff to travel to his home to pick up his glasses and some additional items of clothing for him. This to my mind is outstanding service and I would have no hesitation of recommending Ashwood House to care for a loved one.

My mother was unfortunately only in the home a short while before she passed away. The staff could not have looked after her better. She was very well treated with respect and dignity. Cannot praise staff highly enough.

The home itself is spotlessly clean and has a lovely courtyard garden where residents are safe and secure. The two lounges offer comfy seating away from the rooms if residents and visitors wish to use them.

My mother would like to say the carers work very hard and are very helpful.

The staff at Ashwood have worked with my mother since her arrival from hospital. She was brought to Ashwood after a stroke which had resulted in severe deterioration of her dementia, partial blindness and challenging behaviour - stemming from anxiety. The staff have worked with her, her GP practise and our family to help her settle, relieve her anxiety and recover some of her cognitive abilities. They are highly skilled and caring. The home is beautifully maintained, clean and cheerful.

Staff are kind and went the extra mile for both aunt and ourselves.

Mum has had absolutely the best of care since being at Ashwood nursing home. A very poorly lady when she arrived. Thanks to the excellent care her blood sugar is now stable and her blood pressure is good. She has just been well enough to take part in her first trip out to visit the Tuesday Market in Spalding excellent! Than you all so much.

You cannot fault this nursing home - the staff are caring, professional and go way beyond just basic caring. They spend time with the residents and make the visitor welcome. I have never seen any staff without a smile on their faces. Food is second to none, the chef will go beyond and above, nothing is too much trouble, if you want to eat something special it's done! The whole environment and atmosphere of the home is wonderful. I want to go there when it's my time!
