Aslockton Hall

This is definitely a happy home where the staff are extremely friendly, caring and welcoming.

My father was a resident there for the last period of his life from December 2021 when he was moved from a very unsatisfactory home.

Right from the first call to Aslockton Hall that was recommended to me by a family friend the level of service and effort to help my father was exemplary.

My father had a number of issues when he went into the home that the staff looked into and constantly challenged various bodies where necessary, really going that extra mile to achieve the required goal, resulting in a significant improvement in the quality of life in his final years that I will be eternally grateful for.

The staff there are friendly, lively and bright and engaged with him that made him feel like a human being again and he developed what became true friendships.

I can only say Aslockton Hall is well run, clean and efficiently run establishment that also has a heart and cared about my father. A great team.

My mother goes in to Aslockton Hall on a frequent basis for respite. We always find the staff efficient and friendly. Mum doesn't socialise, she likes her meals in her room and spends all day watching TV. The staff are sympathetic to my mother's ways and don't try to force her into socialising. She enjoys the food and the variety offered. Also a big television in a certain position for viewing, we often arrive and all is in place to her needs. We have on a couple of occasions had to find other accommodations especially just after Covid when the homes were having outbreaks and could not accept any visitors or guests, but she always said next time try and get me back into Aslockton Hall!

Well done to the team!

Outside, Aslockton Hall offers lovely gardens where he can sit out when the weather permits. It's reassuring for us to know he is happy.

What a shame the reviewer had such an unhappy experience which I’m sure must be an unusual one for residents at Aslockton Hall.

I chose this home for my uncle after looking around 3 homes in the area. Aslockton Hall stood out and felt like the right place for him to have as his home, the staff were all friendly and supportive to the residents and the bedrooms and communal areas were lovely and welcoming. The outdoor garden space is amazing and with my uncle being a retired gardener I knew he would enjoy going out. I would definitely recommend people to look at Aslockton Hall for their loved ones.

The home isn't clean and I visited on one occasion to find vomit still on the carpet from the day before, there was only one cleaner who actually cleaned the room my elderly mother was in. No doubt I will be getting a letter from the owner but I have a Section 5 public order against him. If your relative is on end of life there I suggest frequent visits at different times of the day.

My father in law is very hard work at home. His wife is sick and it is an impossible situation. Aslockton Hall has looked after him and his needs exceptionally well. The staff have been fantastic.

As a retired staff nurse, finding a suitable home for my Father was paramount. Although a large building, the atmosphere is incredibly friendly and staff very caring - yes there is always the problem of staff sickness as with any home but management goes to extraordinary lengths to make up the numbers at short notice to supply good agency carers to ensure patient care is kept of the highest quality. Bathrooms, bedrooms are spotless. Meals are adequate. Perhaps a little repetitive but service is good. However, more attractive to me than anything are the wonderful grounds. The gardens are just beautiful but unfortunately not used to their full advantages. More BBQ's, please.

I have visited here most days since January 2016, and I find it welcoming, calm and sweet-smelling. The owner and directors maintain a high standard of furniture and cleaning. Maintenance is good and the gardens well kept. The permanent staff are efficient, competent and friendly, agency staff are wither excellent or doubtful. The kitchen provides a varied menu and staff try to ensure that residents are well fed and take on sufficient liquids. Rooms are clean and the laundry service is good.

My father came to Aslockton Hall for respite in early 2019. We were delighted with the standard of care. It is a very warm and friendly place and the staff were wonderful. He had a lovely room with en-suite facilities and the food was excellent and plentiful. If we ever need the services again, we would definitely come back. We were worried about leaving him but he was looked after wonderfully. The gardens surrounding the Hall are beautiful and peaceful. Thank you.

Aslockton nursing home is the home in every sense of the word of my mother. Approaching my mothers fifth year in residence, my mother has been cared for with dignity, kindness, thoughtfulness and humour. My mother has many friends at the home, staff, residents and even people who are visiting other residents. The owners and staff are outstanding and I count us extremely fortunate that my mother and myself can have confidence that my mother’s best interests are being served. As I visit daily, the home has become my home from home and no matter what time of day I visit, quiet order and friendliness are evident.

I have been completely satisfied with the care from the nursing side and with help from the management. Dietary needs have been excellent throughout, especially when she is not feeling too good.

The staff at Aslockton Hall were fantastic. They got to know my father over the two years that he lived here and he was incredibly well looked after. They met his needs incredibly well, they made him feel at home and made adjustments to all sorts of things to meet his needs and requirements. The thought and kindness of the staff during his end of life time was second to none. He was kept incredibly comfortable, his dignity intact and there was a real feeling of fondness towards him and absolute care. Thank you.

All the staff, carers and nurses were kind, professional and showed great compassion and humanism. They treated him with dignity and respect, yet personalised their interactions to ensure that he maintained his cheeky sense of humour and felt completely at ease with them all. The Aslockton team are empowered in such a way that they all felt comfortable being themselves and engaging with my father as people, rather than as employees which was very gratifying to witness.

Our dog was just as popular with all the staff as he was with my father!

Thank you.

The grounds/gardens are a lovely asset with encouragement to use them at all times.

My husband has dementia, he has been cared for at Aslockton Hall for two years. He receives care and consideration from willing and pleasant staff who respect his preferences, he is not coerced. Given the nature of his illness he is as comfortable and content as can be. This is 100% better than my experience of a previous 'care home' whose self promotion was convincing but a travesty of my expectations.
