Ashwood Care & Nursing Home

My dad couldn't wait to leave this home. He hated it there and became really depressed due to extremely poor standard of food and drink quality and being abruptly awoken every day at 5am to do routine bedding changes to save day staff doing it. Not all it's cracked up to be. My dad left early as he was so fed up. Avoid and don't be taken in by the posh furniture and décor, it's a cover-up for poor standards. Needs major improvements. I would hate to stay there myself and couldn't wait to take my dad back home out of there.

My mum arrived here after living all her life in London. She immediately commented on the welcoming feeling the home gave her. So far, in the 10 days she has been here, the difference it has made to her physical and mental wellbeing has been very noticeable. The rooms and surroundings are very good, which, coupled with the wonderful staff make a stay in such an environment a very positive experience.

I have visited my friend at this facility for the past 5 months. The building/rooms are always clean, my friend always appears clean and comfortable. The staff are all friendly and seem very caring and always make me feel welcome.

Having friends I homes which I visit what a surprise to find your wonderful home. So bright, caring staff and excellent food together with cleanliness. Well done may this be the start of the way forward that all homes should be.

The standard of the home and staff is fantastic. She could not be in a better place.

My aunt took some while to settle in, but all the staff have done their best to help her and make her feel at home.

I live 150 miles from Ashwood Care Home so can only visit my aunt about every 5 weeks but, because of my first-hand experience of the care and love she receives, I am reassured that this 110-year-old lady is in the best possible hands. When we visit, always unannounced, we are struck by the friendliness and patience of the staff, the dignity shown to all residents and the total absence of any of aromas that can sometimes be associated with care homes. The recent refurbishments have further added to the quality of the dining and lounge experiences as well providing a stimulus to those for whom the past is a familiar reality.

All the staff are friendly and helpful and they made my father feel at home. His condition has improved as well as his illness allows. I am grateful for the care shown to him.

I have lived at Ashwood for 3 years and I have been looked after very well.

I am happy that Mum is in a safe and caring environment and is well looked after.

All carers dedicated, helpful and pleasant. I would hope that if respite or permanent admission required Ashwood Nursing Home would be available.

Excellent.

In all respects, Ashwood's care of my wife has been and continues to be, exemplary. When visiting I am always made welcome and the staff at all levels are friendly and helpful.

The one serious criticism was the lack of running water.

I visit most of the Care Homes in Spalding in a professional capacity and there is no doubt in my mind that Ashwood offers and provides a service to the highest level of satisfaction.

Her dementia, of course, hasn't improved, but her attitude and temperament have significantly. She is now always clean and tidy when I see her.

I'm sure this is due to the fantastic care she is receiving at Ashwood. The home seems well staffed and they all seem caring, conscientious and friendly. The home is immaculately clean.

From my few week's experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

It does seem to have a high turn over of staff but I'm guessing this is more to do with the nature of the job. Overall though I would recommend Ashwood to anyone wanting a top quality level of care for a loved one needing residential care.

The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. Ashwood is a good building being open, light and airy. The staff have all shown genuine interest in mum and getting to know her and what she likes. For the short time mum has been in Ashwood I am very impressed with all the staff I have come into contact with.

Mum has been a resident at Ashwood Nursing Home for more than five years. During that time, she has received excellent care. The care staff, although busy, always makes time to see her needs and make her comfortable. The domestic staff and laundry ladies are very friendly and approachable responding quickly to any requests. The home is very clean.

I am confident that mum is in a safe and well cared for environment.

My mother seems to be happy in the care home. The room is basic but she is able to have some of her personal belongings around her.

Staff are friendly and willing to do things without too much trouble.
