My mother was a resident at Ashcroft for over two years and I was always happy with the care she received. If I expressed any minor concerns they were dealt with immediately. I found the manager, nursing staff and carers very approachable and gave the very best care to my mother. I visited on average four times a week and always found my mother comfortable, clean and well cared for.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition. We aim to provide excellent person centred care to all our clients and will continue to do so.
A very big thank you from us to the management, the staff and the admin staff who were also always helpful and friendly. Sadly Mum has now died, but we are really pleased that she lived her last few years at Ashcroft.
We viewed several care homes in the West Yorkshire area and we choose Ashcroft to take care of my mum as it had that friendly feeling and very welcoming.
My mum was in Ashcroft for 4 weeks and we could not have asked for more care while she was there.
The staff were helpful, pleasant and caring, especially towards the end of life care my mum received in her last days at Ashcroft.
The staff were so kind to let me stop over night with my mum, and always made sure I was okay and were very supportive throughout.
I would like to thank each member of staff, they do not get recognised enough for the care they give.
Thanks again.
Thank you for your review. All feedback is gratefully received and helps us to continue to deliver high standards of care. I will ensure this is also passed on to the staff.
Our father spent the last 2 months of his life at Ashcroft, as well as a couple of respite stays before then. We were very happy with the level of care provided and the support given. There was a very warm and friendly atmosphere which we liked from day one. Staff were always friendly, helpful, kind and caring. We felt they cared well for Dad and were sensitive to his needs, as well as to us as a family. Ashcroft feels more like a family home than some care homes we visited, and we felt this was important for our Dad. Everywhere is very clean and well kept. Dad was always clean, well shaven, in clean clothes whenever we visited, and we felt that he was being really well looked after. Staff phoned us if there was ever any issue, and were very welcoming of our phone calls and visits. They were kind and considerate towards Dad, and also us as a family, recognising how difficult it was for us. We are very grateful that Dad was so well cared for in the final weeks of his life.
My mum was well cared for and looked after when she stayed at Ashcroft. It was nice to know she was in such good hands and we were very fortunate she was able to stay here in her final years. The staff were excellent and really made her feel like family.
My Mother came to live at Ashcroft after a long stay in the hospital and needed nursing care. She stayed for a year, until her death, and was always content and felt well looked after. As a regular visitor, I found that the staff were always welcoming and were aware of the individual needs of my mother and the other residents. When I first came to see around the home, it was the staff I was most impressed with, welcoming, caring and clearly wanting the best for the residents. I had visited several homes and felt more comfortable entrusting my mother's care to Ashcroft than any of the others. It is a huge decision to select a nursing home but my choice of Ashcroft is one I have never regretted.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition. We aim to provide excellent person centred care to all our clients and will continue to do so.
We have used Ashcroft on several occasions, for respite for my Mother. We have been more than happy with the quality of care, cleanliness of the home and the friendly & helpful care staff. The Manager & her nurses are always available for a chat. My family would highly recommend this home.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay once again. Your feedback ensures Ashcroft Nursing Home continues to deliver person centered care to all our residents.
