Astbury Mere Care Home

The staff have been very supportive to my aunt during her stay. Always informative and helpful.

My father fell whilst on holiday in North Wales, breaking his hip. He was admitted to Hospital where his hip was repaired. We initially tried to transfer him to Hospitals nearer but there were no available beds. We contacted Astbury Mere for their help and advice and they were very knowledgeable and reassuring and were able to offer a room, with provision for respite and recovery which we were very glad to accept. Michelle and Emma were very helpful and supportive in the move from Wales. When we arrived at Astbury we were all made very welcome and my Father fully enjoyed his two week stay and made daily progress on account of the standard of care and provision received. Ideally, we would have liked him to have stayed longer but he was keen to return to his own home. We shall certainly consider using the home again as both my parents are in their late 80's

After major heart surgery a few months in hospital it was agreed to assessment outside hospital. It was also agreed to do this assessment at Astbury Mere Care Home. After 7 weeks in Astbury Mere, she (my wife) returned home.

Excellent throughout. As a family, we were cared for and look after as well as the person being cared for. I would recommend the home every time. Thank you.

I have enjoyed staying here. Staff and residents very pleasant. A number of the staff I knew when I served them in my shop I had some years ago.

Words just cannot explain how wonderful the care that has been given to my mother-in-law for the last 4 and a half years. ALL the staff have given 100% plus to maintain that love and dignity is first and foremost, they go way beyond their job description. The support that we have received during mum's life and death has been extra special - made to feel part of a loving family. Many, many thanks to ALL.

Astbury Mere Care Home is situated in beautiful gardens and you are always greeted with a friendly smile as you enter reception. The dining room is tastefully decorated and the food beautifully presented. All the staff are caring and kind, doing their best to meet residents needs. The bedrooms are spacious, beds and equipment provided to maximum safety, with alarm buttons in easy reach. The activities are varied, encouraging residents to interact, laugh and stimulate their thinking and mobility.

Fees extremely high.

This purpose designed home meet my mother's complex needs admirably. Staff were capable and extremely competent. Always cheerful and sympathetic with residents, helpful and communicative to relatives. Although possibly a bit expensive for some people, the quality of care reflects this and I would recommend Astbury Mere without hesitation.

My mum moved into Astbury Mere in February and was put at ease and made to feel welcome from the first day. The exceptional care that she has received has resulted in her looking better health wise than she has for a long time. Everyone takes time to ensure the well-being of residents is met. Looking her best is important to mum so having a hairdresser and pamper nail sessions makes her happy. Easy access to the beautiful well-maintained garden is great for mum who loves to get outside. I can't recommend this home highly enough, it is brilliant, as are all the staff.

A good quality care home, though on the expensive side, offers regular days out and a variety of 'at home' activities. Staff are caring and friendly.

The staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. They treated my father with respect, compassion and dignity as were alert and helpful with dispensing his medications and creams on time. The 3 meals and teatimes every day were interesting and tempting.

My father thoroughly enjoyed all the day outings until he was too fragile to go. The gardens around the home are award-winning and soothing to walk or I take a wheelchair around so fresh air every day. But the staff make this care home as extraordinary as they can.

I was a resident for just 2 weeks respite care. I was reasonably able to do things for myself but appreciated the care and attention that was provided

My wife who has Alzheimer's was in Astbury Mere for two weeks of respite care. I have nothing but praise for the professional management and care that my wife has had throughout her stay. The pleasant ambience of the home would be hard to surpass. It was clean, light and airy in a pleasant location. The staff are of the best.

Mum moved to Astbury Mere in February 2017. Placing her in care was very hard for my sister and I. The guilt we felt was tremendous. Staff have assured us Mum has never asked to go home throughout the time she has been a resident at Astbury. My sister and I have come to believe Mum is contented and happy there. This was confirmed to us recently when Mum said (totally unprompted) "this place is quite nice, I'm glad you found this place for me". Given that our mum spent several years fighting against help and saying 'promise you'll never put me in a nursing home' my sister and I feel we have our mum's blessing for our decision, and this is testament also to the care Astbury Mere has shown us all over the past year.

I am very pleased with the whole concept at Astbury Mere Care Home. My husband is happy here and the staff are wonderful. The whole place whilst very caring and supportive is filled with light, beautiful lounges and gardens to walk around or sit in. I couldn't wish for anything better than Astbury Mere Care Home to care for the person I have spent most of my life with. A big thank you to everyone knowing that my loved one is settled and happy.

Excellent home. Very clean, friendly and caring. Beautiful gardens. Car park could be bigger.

I think it's very good. I think the attention we get sometimes could do with a little upgrading.

I think this is top marks for everything. No complaints and an extremely pleasant home. I previously stayed for a few weeks but now permanent.

I have visited 11 dementia homes in the past 8 months in the Stockport and Greater Manchester area. NOT one comes close to the care, fantastic staff and experience at Astbury Mere Care Home. Taking my mum out of her home where she had lived for over 30 years was a living nightmare for me and my sister as we couldn't physically cope with the deterioration of Mum's disease. We felt very alone and most of the other care homes showed little understanding of the relatives point of view. The staff at Astbury Mere Care Home put a broken family back together, they are angels in our eyes. A safe, warm, clean, trustworthy, bright, happy, healthy, friendly home.
