Absolutely superb staff, all have looked after my mother in a very caring and professional manner - they really go the extra mile.

Mums room is spotless, mum really enjoys the meals and nothing is too much trouble.

Review from Margaret P (Mother of Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
From the moment our son arrived at Askham Court both his and our lives have changed for the better. Both the environment and all the staff that is, service and medical staff have enabled our son to recuperate from major brain surgery and plan for his future. All aspects of Askham have in our opinion been designed with care and consideration for the recovery of all the patient's needs. There has not been any situation which could not be covered at any time by the team of the most professional staff. The amount of research into the needs of each resident to enable the most directed care and direction to be achieved has been outstanding. You have changed not only a resident's life and future but also that of his family. All has been done with understanding, care, professionalism and love.

Thank you all very much

My daughter moved into long term care in August, the care has been excellent & she is settling in well. The medical & care staff have taken the time to learn & ask questions about her complex condition & adapted the care to be personal to her needs & preferences. Her one to one carers are all so friendly & nothing is too much trouble.

We would recommend Askham to others in need of a high level of medical care.

Overall Experience

Bev and the team work to a high standard ensuring you are treated with respect and dignity. Whilst an inpatient only for a short time I built a positive rapport with the team. Askham Court doesn't feel like a medical setting, it's a very relaxed atmosphere with approachable staff. The team in-still Independence in patients by putting trust in their patients to complete everyday living tasks. The atmosphere is relaxing surrounded by tranquil setting. All of these things go hand in hand to aid the recovery of their patients.

Review from G C (Respite Resident) published on 3 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I was a resident at Askham Court for twelve weeks. I arrived unable to walk and was using a Sara Steady and left able to walk on my own. The staff were professional, helpful, and friendly and helped me cope with a very difficult time in my life. The accommodation was excellent as was the food, most of the time. There was a pleasant ambience each day. The Physiotherapy staff were excellent as were the Occupational Therapy staff, giving me wonderful encouragement, yet pushing me that little bit further at each visit.

Review from Caroline G (Wife of Resident) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I write to sincerely praise the care and dedication given to my husband over the 8 years he spent at Askham Place. The care was exemplary throughout his time and the whole team are amazing. Askham Place is well lead and well-staffed, in order to meet the needs, wishes and preferences of all residents. From what I witnessed during my husband's time there, the team are equality and diversity-focused meeting the needs, wishes, preferences and dignity of the individuals living at Askham Place, along with promoting as much independence as possible.
Unfortunately, my husband sadly passed away in April this year, but I took comfort in knowing that he passed peacefully, in a place that was familiar to him, with myself and the team around him - they were terrific from the beginning to the very end.

My husband and I were fortunate to find Askham Place, for which I will be eternally grateful.

Reply from Manu Magar, Head of Rehabilitation and Nursing Services at Askham Court

Thank you for your heartfelt review of Askham Place. We are deeply sorry for your loss and honoured to have had the opportunity to care for your husband over the past 8 years.

Review from Rachel C (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum has been residing at Askham since her stroke in March 2024, she arrived in May 2024 and the care she has received is beyond outstanding, I've never worried about her for a second being in their care.
She has come on leaps and bounds since being here - physically, emotionally and in her speech. My mum has beaten all the odds being in their care and I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for my mum in such a short amount of time!

They've met all my mum's needs and bent over backwards to make my mum happy and comfortable!

I have found the staff to be courteous, friendly and helpful, in particular the senior nurse who administers the medication. Lovely lady. The home appears clean and friendly. I believe my friend has had a positive time there and received good care. The only negative he mentioned was being left wet for too long on one occasion by a male member of staff. Otherwise all good. Thank you all for the great jobs you do and the patience you show.

The staff are very welcoming and helpful to residents and their families. It is like a family-run home. The physio is very good and the carers are very patient and kind.

My wife suffered major brain damage early January, thanks to a specific care unit she survived but required major rehabilitation as part of her recovery and was sent to Askham.
Great facilities, grounds and lovely rooms. Various disciplines with specialist staff carried out. Facility both safe and secure with caring staff.
Rooms are safe with full hospital-style beds plus en-suite. Communal rooms with catering facilities for those able to use.

Very friendly, helpful staff including laundry, visitor's toilets on site coffee shop with gardens to sit in. Must give a mention to the caring cleaner who took great pride and care in her work ensuring everywhere was immaculate.
