Ashbourne Court Care Home

I am extremely grateful for the care that my husband has received since arriving at Ashbourne Court. The staff are all friendly, kind and compassionate which has helped him to settle. The staff have enabled me to stay both informed and involved with his care especially when I was unable to see him. I cannot thank them enough and would highly recommend them.

Ashbourne Court is a fantastic care home. You will notice when you come in, that all members of staff are so friendly and always smile and greet you. The whole team are like one big family and are very caring towards the residents. Residents are supported in independent living where able. My relative spend several years on the ground floor which is run by Senior Care Assistants. The standard of care was excellent, they involve the relatives in the care planning process and reviews. When her dementia progressed, she was transferred to the nursing care unit. Again, the staff were all very kind and caring. The standard of care continued to remain high for the rest of her stay. The home is clean. The menus change with a choice each day, the food always looked tasty and well presented. There are a team of activity coordinators who brighten the day by organising events, inviting singers/entertainers and animals into the home. I would highly recommend it.

My mother-in-law decided she would like to move into Ashbourne Court following two close personal bereavements which left her alone and her confidence destroyed, a formerly fiercely independent woman who spent her life caring for others. She originally spent two weeks respite in Ashbourne following which she decided to move in permanently. She thoroughly enjoyed having company, whenever she wanted it, and to be able to retire to her room if she wanted time to herself. She enjoyed the activities arranged in-house and the excursions to local places of interest. The worry of sorting out her medication was taken away and the knowledge that she had 24 hours care and medical attention if required was a weight off our minds. The care given was very good and she was very content to chat away with members of staff. We felt she had a ‘second family’ at Ashbourne which meant a great deal to us.

I cannot thank Ashbourne Care Home enough for the love and care they showed my mum during her stay with them. Mum came to Ashbourne for rest care after a major operation, however she settled in so well she stayed for another four years. Unfortunately, Mum was diagnosed with alzheimers a couple of years ago. She was looked after with such care and respect and she finally lost her battle in June 2020 to alzheimers. Once again everyone was so caring, especially under such unprecedented times. Thank you everyone, you made tough times and decisions bearable. My family and I would not have been able to cope without you all.

My Mother was a resident in Ashbourne Court Care Home for over 4 years, as soon as she moved in I knew I had made the right but very difficult decision. All the staff were absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble Mum was treated as an individual and her care was tailored for her every need. They always had her dressed nicely and well turned out! There was always something happening, crafts, live entertainment, armchair exercises, the family and friends were always very welcome. I especially liked the phone calls I received updating me on Mums condition, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Very kind and caring right up till the end.

During the COVID-19 we were unable to see her until her final hours and we'd like to thank the staff for the kindness that they gave to us at this difficult time.

My Nan received the best possible care, with her awful dementia, she was treated with kindness and dignity.

My husband was terminally ill and received a high level of care and attention in this time. He was bedridden so all personal care was administered at very regular intervals with regard to privacy and delicacy. Bed position was changed and personal hygiene done regularly. Help with feeding and drinking. Surroundings were very clean and pleasant. Food was puréed and presented well. Care taken with linen serviettes, tray and covers.

The care at Ashbourne Court could not have been better. My father was treated with dignity and respect even when his behaviour was very trying. It took the burden off our family knowing how well he was treated.

My mum is very well looked after giving us peace of mind.

My mother, who sadly passed away in September 2019 had been a resident for six years. In all that time she was treated with respect and dignity. All of the staff, from management to the staff on the floor, were very caring and did all in their power to ensure my mother was well looked after and provided for. I could not fault this care home in any way.

My Mum has been in Ashbourne Court Care Home since the end of January 2019. The family were all rather concerned as to whether Mum would settle, as she was being transferred from the North of England after several recent moves there. We were delighted to find that Mum settled down very well indeed, despite some expected confusion and anxiety, and we feel that this was mainly attributed to the excellent care provided by everyone at Ashbourne. Warm, friendly, smiling faces all round, a willingness to help with anything required and excellent Nursing Care too. I have come to the important conclusion, over 6 months later, that Mum could not be in a more appropriate place for her needs and I see those needs being met whenever I visit. I commend Ashbourne Court - the Management Team, Carers, Activity Co-ordinators, Cleaners, Maintenance Man, Chef, Kitchen Staff. Indeed all who work there deserve a Gold Medal for their commitment to the residents. Thank you to you all.

The staff and the facilities are excellent. I have nothing but praise for the dedication, empathy and care that the staff provide - from the Manager all the way through the staff. We are so pleased that we moved our Mother from her previous assisted living Care Home to Ashbourne Court. We have absolutely no regrets.

We have no hesitation in recommending Ashbourne Court for a loved one. Thank you so much one and all.

My mother came into Ashbourne Court for respite. The moment we got into the building we were welcomed and offered a cup of tea. The staff were lovely, my mother was treated extremely well. The staff would give me regular updates on Mum and how she was settling in. She loved it in there. We had no worries about her being there. She thrived while she was there. Very clean place. Would recommend this place to anyone. If Mum needed a permanent placement we would be happy about it. Well done.

Please don't hesitate to use Ashbourne Court and their wonderful staff.

Mum moved into Ashbourne Court in January 2019. We visited Mum early April 2019 and we were extremely impressed with ALL the facilities. In only a short time Mum has happily settled at Ashbourne Court which is a huge relief for us as we live abroad. From entering Ashbourne until leaving on a daily basis, we were more than satisfied with ALL the staff, the general area and, the cleanliness of Mum's room. The staff are so willing, friendly, helpful, always smiling and kind. We stayed for lunch with Mum on two occasions and we were impressed with the high standard of food served. Tables are laid as if one were in a restaurant with a menu as well! The food is delicious, nutritious, well cooked and well presented. There is NO smell anywhere in the home unlike some places which we have encountered with our relatives in the past. Mum is very happy and is being well looked after on a daily basis - we cannot ask for more and highly recommend Ashbourne Court Care home. THANK YOU, ALL OF YOU.

The staff and management of Ashbourne Court provided faultless care for my mother during the final few weeks of her life. My father and I are so grateful that she was looked after in such a caring and well-run environment. All the staff at Ashbourne Court provided wonderful support to us at a most difficult time. We will be eternally grateful for all they did for my mother and for us. I highly recommend this care facility. Thank you to all at Ashbourne Court.

Caring and kind always helpful and understanding, all staff friendly, dignified, food good, clean room, tidy home, always smells nice.

We, three brothers, organised respite care for our mother in her nineties, to recover from successful hospital surgery to improve the blood flow to her leg. This poor blood flow had caused problems with one of her feet, making it difficult for her to walk. The aim of the respite care was to try to get her back onto her feet again to give her the chance to return to her own flat nearby. The process to get her walking again, compounded by a long stay in hospital for the operation, had only just started when sadly our mother suffered an unexpected cardiac arrest and passed away as a result.

We have nothing but praise for the kind and friendly way the staff at Ashbourne Court treated our mother during her stay there and for how they treated us and our families on our visits, especially on the day she passed away. They did everything they possibly could to save her and we would have no hesitation in recommending the Ashbourne Court to others.
