Over all time Ashfield Nursing & Residential Home has 12 reviews.
Absolutely delighted with the care mum receives. Mum is not the easiest person to care for but the staff are superb when dealing with her, their manner & empathy shown is excellent & I feel very assured that mum is cared for so well in a very safe environment.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that you feel reassured by the care your mum receives and that you have confidence in our team.
We know that every resident is unique, and we're committed to providing compassionate, person-centred care that meets each individual's...
Adam is very comfortable in his new surroundings and found a corner in one of the two lounges to call his own. He absolutely loves the food and the great choices available, he either eats at his seat or in the dining room.
Ashfield have a fantastic "care portal" which enables me to view the various parts of Adam's day, and night activities, with reports on how he spends his day whilst downstairs, and also the number of times he is checked on at night whilst he is sleeping. This service is very reassuring and gives me a daily update on Adam's activities, with positives and negatives.
Adam loves being at Ashfield, and I am delighted that we were able to move him there. I would definitely recommend it
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted to hear that Adam has settled in so well and is enjoying life at Ashfield.
Moving to a new home can be a big change, so it's wonderful to know that our team helped make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible....
Sadly that stay was briefer than anticipated but she was cared for with love, compassion and dignity to the end,many of the staff having known her since her first visit in 2022.
I can honestly say I felt every time I left her in Ashfield I knew she was safe and I didn't have to worry about her.
The staff always involved me in any decisions about her care and when I was deciding about her care in the latter stages they understood my feelings and gave me support and a hug when needed.
I would recommend Ashfield to anyone looking for either respite or long term care.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt review. It means so much to us that from your very first visit, you felt Ashfield was a place where your mum would be safe, cared for and treated with dignity.
Thank you for your kind words about our staff. Supporting families through difficult decisions...
My husband spent several months at Ashfield as his health declined. The staff treated him as family and welcomed us at all times. The staff were very helpful and kind. My husband enjoyed sitting in the garden when he was able to but also the peace of his own room when he preferred that. We were well supported as a family and would recommend Ashfield as a caring and considerate place to be.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are really glad that your husband felt comfortable and cared for during his time at Ashfield, and that you and your family felt welcomed and supported too.
It is lovely to hear that he enjoyed spending time in the garden when he was able to, as well...
The attention to detail was remarkable - my mum was treated with dignity, respect, and kindness at all times. The staff took the time to understand her individual needs and tailored her care accordingly. I always felt reassured knowing she was in such capable hands.
What truly stood out was the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the team. They didn't just meet her needs - they anticipated them. Whether it was making sure she had everything she needed or simply offering a friendly chat to brighten her day, the staff went the extra mile every time.
I would 100% recommend Ashfield Care Home to anyone in need of respite care. The service
I've passed this onto the team who were chuffed to hear how well their service was received. It's amazing to hear that no matter how long our residents are with us for, our team still makes the effort to learn who they are and what they need to feel at home. Thank you for taking the time to leave...
The homely and welcoming feel was perfect. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make Mum's stay as comfortable as possible. It felt like home.
Unfortunately Mum only had a short stay but, in her final hours, the whole process was tentatively dealt with. We were well supported and guided through to the end. We cannot praise them enough for helping us throughout. Amazing isn't a big enough word to use to describe this wonderful place but it is AMAZING. Thank you Ashfield
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such wonderful feedback. No matter how long someone is with us, we'll always strive to make them feel at home. The team will be more than grateful of your kind words, thank you.
"We're not posh but we're a home!" This was the comment from one of the managers that convinced me that Ashfield was the best place for my Mum to live and I never regretted the decision over the seven years she was there. The staff are wonderful, caring, well trained and make great effort to get to know all the residents individually and get the best out of them. The food is excellent, the rooms are warm and comfortable, and there is a wide range of activities arranged for the residents to keep them stimulated. Medical care is meticulously managed and a close but discreet eye kept to ensure welfare. Support and information for family members is also excellent and staff are keen to work with relatives to ensure the best life for the residents. The atmosphere in the place is genuinely one of a large family. Several staff visited my mum in hospital during her final days and the fact that half a dozen of them attended her funeral I thought spoke volumes.
I think I know exactly who said that to you and I couldn't agree more! We will always prioritise health and well-being before silver spoons. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It's so wonderful to hear your kind words, I will pass this on to our super team who I'm sure will feel the same way.
The team at Ashfield Nursing and Residential Home came across as very caring in how they interacted with the residents. From caring for their eating and healthcare needs to just having a short conversation with them, so that they felt they were part of a "family". This caring extended to how they supported the family in providing updates and assistance on their family member so that they always felt they knew how their loved one was. The holistic approach to caring for their residents was clearly demonstrated by their proactive help to the family with dealing with health and financial issues. It made it so much easier to have someone covering your back and giving good advice when dealing with the various outside agencies. Finally when my mother passed their response was one of kindness and care for both the resident and the family. It made my mother's last years comfortable and took away the worries.
That was a pleasure to read, I will pass this on to the team who will likely feel the same. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.
Easy to deal with and very friendly and caring the staff are second to none.
We are delighted to hear that we were on your radar before needing our service. Thank you ever so much for finding the time to provide us with your feedback.
I would recommend Ashfield over many of the more expensive care homes you might visit. Some of these places advertise such facilities as cinemas or restaurants. However, at Ashfield, they spend money on care and the quality of their staff. My mother, who suffered from dementia, spent the last three years of her life at Ashfield and could not have been better looked after. The staff are committed and professional, but most importantly are extremely kind.
We're glad to see that our investments in care are being recognised and received well. Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback!
On visiting the welcome by all was lovely, just felt like visiting Mum in her own home, can't be better than that.
Your kind words are encouraging and will be passed on to the team. Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback!
Very clean. The food is excellent due to a proper chef.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback. We will use this information to further improve the services that we provide. I will also pass your compliments on to our very talented and hardworking chef.
