My father was in Asterbury Place for nearly 12 months before passing. The team on his section, in particular Nikki made a real difference to his time. The care and attention she provided was unbelievably kind, understanding yet also firm as needed. Dad was not the easiest of people and Nikki handled him perfectly. Wendy the home manager needs a mention as well. Early on she really 'got' Dad, all his challenging ways, his, at times bad attitude as dementia ensued and she helped him to get supported and cared for in a way that Dad needed without judgement. The home has great facilities, entertainment and activities for residents, onsite hairdresser and nail services. While Dad definitely did not make lots of use of this, the times he did he enjoyed himself. Friendly hardworking staff helped Dad make the transition easier, they kept us in touch at all times and nothing was ever too much.

I want to thank all staff at Asterbury for looking after my wife for me. They could do no more, and should all receive an immediate wage rise from Care UK.
Positive attitude and approach from carers to the needs of the resident. Helpful and approachable management team (following the recent changes) which has meant proactive response to changing care needs

The care offered by Asterbury does appear to be very good, i do think they go the extra mile in the care of the residents, which of course is what's important.
We love visiting my nanna at the care home. We are all made to feel welcome and the care staff are amazing. There is always plenty of activities, especially music and dancing which my nanna paticularly enjoys. Overall it's a lovely care home with very caring staff.

The staff at the care home are compassionate and caring not, only to the residents but the relatives, always lots for the residents to do entertainment morning and afternoon, trips out in the bus , up to a pub for a drink, nothing too much trouble much trouble, fish and chips by the seaside, all the staff involve all the residents in all sections of care, I'm extremely happy with the care my husband receives.
As a family we are very satisfied with the care our mum has received, helping her to keep her independence whilst receiving the best possible care. The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to help. There are always activities to join in and the food menu always looks great.

Asterbury Place is an excellent residential home and set in beautiful surroundings, the garden is well maintained and attractive. It offers my mother warm and caring surroundings and caters for all my mum's needs. She is missing her independence and former home greatly and ALL Asterbury staff are helping her with this. I and my family are happy and relieved she is living there. We visit regularly and get involved with the many activities offered daily, they are run by an excellent activity team. Mum has made loads of friends, as have we when visiting. Everything is available to residents, coffee shop, hairdresser, podiatry and regular GP visits. The meals are fresh and tasty and nothing is too much, particularly if you fancy something different. Thank you all.
Lots of activities and friendliness he has had and dad enjoys the music and opportunity to make his room homely.

I have been very impressed with the care and dedication given to residents, always with a smile and a cheery word. I visit at least once a week and there is always some form of entertainment especially music related which is well attended and enjoyed by all and mini bus trips out are very much appreciated sometimes to a pub or to the seaside.

I have been in the social care sector for most of my working life, having worked my way up from a carer to home management roles. I have worked with a range of providers, but I became interested in joining Care UK after seeing how they develop their colleagues. I thought this would be a care provider that can really help me progress in my career. I first joined Care UK at Cedrus House in May 2021, and I was promoted to Deputy Manager in January 2023. In December 2023, I moved over to Asterbury Place.
In this role, I believe it’s important to be patient, resilient and supportive. I love that no two days are ever the same. Seeing the smiles on residents’ faces is my favourite part of the day, and I feel proud when they are happy and when colleagues leave their shift happy.
