Astley Grange Nursing Home

On my first visit, I was greeted in a friendly manner, I was then escorted to my friend's room where seats were found and drinks were offered almost immediately. The room is bright and cheerful with trees, birds and squirrels outside in a lovely sunny position. The residents comfort is uppermost. Staff are very friendly and are always on call if needed. I willingly visit once or twice each week. Hoping my friend gets stronger and sleeps better as time goes by. Thank you.

When the hospital told us we had to find a nursing home for Mum we were devastated! The hospital gave us a list of nursing homes who could offer the help Mum needed and had a vacancy and so the search started. We had been told how important the CQC was and my goodness did it help. We rang Astley Grange who invited us down and what a joy. It was clean & fresh, the staff were singing as they worked and the patients joined in; the whole ambience of the place was great. Following an assessment, Mum was 'delivered' a few days later and we got her settled in with lots of personal stuff around her. Some of the nurses came to introduce themselves which felt really welcoming. I felt confident leaving her overnight but the home rang at 4:45 am to say Mum had been taken to A&E and we lost her 48 hours later. The home was fantastic and although it was a very brief experience, I would highly recommend this facility. They were welcoming, flexible, accommodating and very caring to Mum.

My father has been in Astley Grange Nursing Home for 2 months and is receiving excellent care. I have found all the staff to be efficient and caring. However, it takes a special person to deal with my father, due to his short term memory and temperaments. We are very lucky to have his nurse. She is compassionate and really understands my father and knows exactly how to deal with him and talk to him and especially with things like being able to persuade him to have a shave when he refuses. Overall, very happy.

After mum had not settled in the first care home, and my concerns about her care, finding a vacancy at Astley Grange has been wonderful. Right from my first enquiry I was impressed with the management, the welcome from the carers, the dining, facilities and activities. My mum's life once again became happy, the care is first class, it's really visible both in how clean she and her room always are and how everyone takes pride in looking after her. It's a pleasure of visit and see her smiling again. I would recommend Astley Grange to anyone needing residential or nursing care.

I visit the home on a regular basis and every time I am met by friendly staff, smiles and hello's. My mum seems very happy here and always greets me with a smile. There is a lot of interaction with the staff which always make my visits enjoyable.

Very clean, meals healthy, also provide snacks and drinks.

I think the home is nice, staff kind and helpful.

I love it here, I like the people in it.

The staff are very helpful and caring. The home has excellent levels of cleanliness. My husband and myself noticed that staffing levels were very good, and members of staff were always available to answer questions or attend to any other requirements. We feel extremely satisfied that my Mum is being very well cared for.

Overall satisfied for standard of home.

Happy with the place.

Astley Grange was a wonderful place, nothing was too much trouble, either for the residents themselves or for the family. The transfer into the home was made easy and although we knew we would have to pay it seemed like whenever the payments were sorted out it would be ok, and my father would be taken care of until then unpaid. If dad said he wanted a bath he was given one straight away, if dad wanted bacon and egg for breakfast that is what he got. I can't speak too highly of this place.

The carers are kind and care. My late husband was also nursed here. I am happy here. There is no place like home, but I am happy here and happy to have been able to share the company of my husband here.

All her is good, cant complain everything is a good standard.

My husband was in and out of hospital for quite sometime and me his wife and his son and daughter and the hospital decided it would be better if he was a resident in care/nursing home. My daughter after much searching found Astley Grange where he could be given both nursing care ans general care. The family are pleased Astley Grange was found. The nurses and carers are very good and are kind to family visitors. The premises are very clean and residents kept clean, regular manicures and hair appointments. Just one grouch I do not think the menu is attractive to encourage poor eating.
