Ashfield Nursing Home Reviews (24)
Ashfield Nursing Home has a Review Score of 7.1 (7.146) out of 10, based on 3 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Ashfield Nursing Home has 24 reviews.
I am very pleased with the way my husband is looked after. He gets very agitated and noisy but the carers are very patient and caring. I have never seen him neglected or ignored.
When he was first admitted, they went out of their way to help him when he was extremely unsettled, especially at night time. He does not get involved in activities but is encouraged to try.
I was worried at first about leaving my grandma in a home but now I have no worries as she is always well looked after and very happy whenever we visit.
The care my grandma receives from this nursing home is amazing. All staff can never help enough to meet my grandma's needs and wants.
My mother has been in Ashfield Nursing Home since 13th October 2016. We have seen a marked improvement in her health and she has gained weight. Also, she looks clean and well cared for. The staff are always very welcoming and are extremely efficient. They listen to our concerns and are available to offer advice along with a cup of tea when needed. The surroundings are very clean and also pleasant. The food is varied and nicely prepared with lots of home-made biscuits, cake, and fresh fruit daily. There is a dedicated activities coordinator who teaches art and crafts to keep the service users occupied which we think is an important day to day requirement. We are happy that we chose Ashfield Nursing Home.
