My mother has been in the home for just over 2 months and she has been so well looked after and although she's living with Parkinson's, nothing has stopped her embracing all the activities and I cannot say enough about the carers and activities staff. They are all excellent. It's wonderful seeing my mother happy, loves and most importantly, safe. It's reassurance for me and my family. Thank you Asterbury Place. I highly recommend the home.

My husband has been a resident at Asterbury Place for 3 years + and I am so satisfied that if we had to choose a care home again for him I would choose Asterbury Place again for him.

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.
