Happy with the way things are. Staff are helpful and a good range of activities.
Thank you very much for your review of our service.
My wife has been a full-time resident here since early February 2022. The care home has been brilliant in her care and also keeping me informed and up to date with her condition. Very well done to all the staff.
Thank you very much for your comments and review of our Home. Communication between the family and the Home is a very important aspect of care delivery and appreciate your kind comments.
The service provided appears to be friendly, efficient, and professional. Always there to help and provide anything that may be needed.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a positive response about Ashgrove. The whole team take pride in all aspects of their work and care delivery. Resident needs and wishes are paramount to our achievements.
So far it has been really good, Mum has been made to feel very welcome. A few things I have asked for have been met with positivity. We're very happy so far but she's only been here 2 days. Just hope her care continues as she's end-of-life care
Thank you for your review. End-of-life care is a very special skill and our team continues to deliver exceptional care in this area. Your mum and your family have been brilliant in providing us with the information we need in order to provide her care as she wishes. Thank you!
My only criticism is that at times there seems to be a lack of staff, hence which leads to delays, etc. However, the people who are on duty work very hard to the best of their abilities.
Thank you for your response. We welcome all feedback and will address any concerns raised.
Sadly he passed away at the beginning of Feb 2019 but right up until that moment he had the best care possible and I couldn't thank the staff enough for their compassion.
Thank you for your amazing review, we will continue to provide the best care possible.
The staff have been very supportive. Mum is always looked after.
Thank you for your positive review - we are pleased that you are happy with our services and will continue to excel in all areas.
Mother was always treated with dignity and respect. Everybody from management, nursing staff, carers, entertainments, cleaners, kitchen staff, laundry and handyman all did an exceptional job in extremely difficult circumstances.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank everybody concerned and to wish everyone every success in the future.
My mother has been extremely well looked after, all of her personal and medical care has been excellent. Her recent illness could not have been managed any better as she has recuperated beyond belief. I attended the Christmas lunch which was well attended, all the staff could not have been more obliging, caring and the food was amazing. The entertainment was fantastic ensuring my mother and other residents all interacted together with their families.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2018.
Yesterday 19/12/17, I attended the residents and family Christmas lunch. This is the third time I have attended this function at Ashgrove and have to commend all the staff for putting a very enjoyable event (best yet). My parents both seemed to enjoy themselves, Mum in particular joining in with all the post meal singing. Well done, it was a very nice afternoon.
I moved my wife from another home as I found the care my wife was receiving was shocking and the food was very poor and little of it (I fed my wife every day). This home The Ashgrove is at least twice as good.
Ashgrove has been mum's home for some time now, I feel that her care has never been better knowing that mum is in a safe cared for environment where her needs are being attended to gives the reassurance that is so very important to her family.
