My mother-in-law moved into AG at the end of April 2025 with jaw and mouth cancer. The staff, facilities, activities and ethos are simply superb. The quality of nursing and the links with outside agencies such as palliative care and the local doctors' surgery are fantastic. Issues such as the special menu provided (pureed) have helped enormously in keeping spirits up. Very important, in understandably difficult circumstances, has been the care and support for my wife and I, as we have visited daily. The carers and nurses know my mother-in-law and my wife and I by name; my mother-in-law looks upon the staff as her friends! Communication has been excellent throughout, with the reception team being pivotal in establishing and maintaining the wonderful ethos.

Once my mother was unable to get out of bed safely, she was not generally included in many of the activities that are provided to other occupants. She was in her room alone for most of the day with little or no stimulation or communication with others. I had tried to encourage staff to take her out of the room in a wheel chair but generally they were too busy or not interested. As a result, I don't think she was happy there and sadly this contributed to her relatively rapid decline in mental and physical health over the 7 months she was there, until her death in August. This was a shame as overall it is a friendly and positive place to be, with some lovely staff.
Main areas of concern while my mother was a resident were:This is why I have given mixed ratings, although I have no experience of other care homes to compare with.
Firstly, please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of your mother. We would like to assure you that our staff are committed to supporting all residents to attend activities if they...

My father entered Ancasta Grove in October 2024. He has always been treated with care & dignity. Recently he had his 100th birthday & Ancasta celebrated this milestone with a wonderful cake, decs & such affection from staff, making his day very special. Communication between staff & family are swift & informative. My brother & myself are very happy with Ancasta Grove.
Thank you for your very kind review, the 100th birthday was certainly great fun and we are so pleased he had such a good time!

I had been living alone for seven years and became a resident on 7th October 2024 - immediately my life changed - for the better. Everyone, staff and residents were so friendly, the meals and activities are excellent - I can't speak to highly of all that I have mentioned. I've never had so many friends. Long may it last.
Thank you for your kinds words, it always means so much to hear positive feedback from residents and wonderful to hear new friendships have been made.

This is an exceptional care home. The admin staff are professional & friendly. The reception staff are welcoming and will always help with any problem. The 'med' team are very professional and meds are always delivered at the correct time. The carers are all friendly & helpful. The activity team provide activities to stretch the brain. When I leave shortly I will have left my second family behind.
Thank you ever so much for your kind review, it's been so lovely to have you here at Ancasta Grove...we will miss you too!
The nursing staff, support workers and management team were supportive but most importantly so caring and willing to help my father during the last few days of his life, my only regret is that he didn't have enough time to appreciate the excellent environment he was in.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for Ancasta Grove and for bringing your concerns to our attention. I understand these concerns are historic and were resolved at the time. Please be assured should you have any further concerns to speak with the Home Manager or alternatively you can contact the Compliments and Complaints Team on complimentsandcomplaints@careuk.com. I can confirm a meeting has been arranged for Monday with the Home Manager and the Next Of Kin to raise any ongoing concerns. The care and support to our residents and families is of the upmost importance to us and we want to ensure we are addressing all concerns. Thank you once again. Best wishes.
As the wife of a resident at Ancasta Grove, I have been thoroughly impressed since my husband moved here in August 2024. Having experienced another care home, the difference is remarkable. Ancasta Grove prioritizes genuine care over profit, creating a warm and welcoming environment. The management...
The home is highly accommodating, alternative meals are always available if needed and staff and management dine with residents, fostering a strong sense of community. Ancasta Grove also ensures that any funded nursing care awarded is fully used to reduce privately funded fees, providing families with transparency and peace of mind. This home has provided my husband with a safe, nurturing and happy environment. I highly recommend Ancasta Grove to anyone seeking outstanding care for their loved ones.
Thank you ever so much for these amazingly kind words, it is both a pleasure and a privilege to work so closely with the residents and their families, and we are so happy that you feel this way about the care we are providing. Thank you.
The staff are excellent. The care Mum receives is 100%. Her room is perfect with a view of the garden.

Mum only went into Ancasta Grove in February this year and was particularly enamoured of the food and the wide variety of activities. She is a gregarious person and has quickly become acquainted with her mealtime buddies. She likes the quiet lounge when visitors come and that is often where we head to chat. She makes quick decisions about the carers and will tell us who her favourites are as well as who she is not to keen on. Mum has a permanent catheter and the ability to deal with this i.e. securing it at night and the 12 week change over seemst o vary greatly between carers. Family feel that more training should be put in place forthis to minimise pain for Mum.

Your comments and positive feedback are greatly appreciated by the team and I am pleased to read your mum has settled in well this year and has been able to become acquainted with the other residents, especially during mealtimes. I am also pleased to read she has felt enamoured with the food and activities at the home. I would like to thank you for your feedback that you feel more training should be provided. We have taken this onboard, and we are looking to schedule training within the coming weeks.
Wonderful care home. Excellent, caring, clean, and cheerful staff. Excellent maintenance. Superb garden. Good entertainment and activities.

Thank you ever so much for your kind comments, they are greatly appreciated and mean a lot to the staff, we will pass this on to them.
The staff are good, am very pleased with the service. I've only been here for five weeks and I'm happy with the service, can't fault them for anything. The home is clean and well-maintained. Everyone talks to each other respectfully and this makes a big difference.

As visitors to the home, we are always made to feel like family, and the generous welcome is heart-warming and inclusive.

Thank you for providing such kind and caring feedback; we are pleased that you feel so welcome when visiting and that the activities program is supporting people to make new friendships and remain engaged in social interactions. Thank you!
To start with I cannot thank and applaud the staff too much, they are fabulous. From the moment I walk through the front door the feeling of warmth and caring abounds. The house is so friendly, the staff are so caring and welcoming. Above all I know Mum is safe, very comfortable and happy. Inside...
Outside the gardens are lovely and Mum really enjoy the patio door open and the plants and wildlife in view.
It's so great to hear such a positive thank you to the staff, and comments about the friendly nature of the home. It is so important for us to provide the residents and their families with an environment they feel comfortable in, and feel welcome. Thank you!

As Home Manager, my role is to deliver consistently high levels of care.
I also think it is important to make sure colleagues feel heard and valued.
I have varied experience and qualifications, including a degree in maths and statistics, expertise in financial modelling streams, and I’m a registered nurse. As a home manager, I get to put all my skills and knowledge to good use every day.
In my role, you need to be passionate about caring. You also have to be friendly and genuinely enjoy being with people and working as part of a team. Care UK’s values: Caring, Passionate and Teamwork underpin everything we do. Care UK is also an organisation that encourages career growth, and for me, working for the most awarded care home provider is a real career highlight. As author Tia Walker says: “To care for those who once cared for us is one of the highest honours.”
One of my favourite parts of the day is the time I spend with residents, their families and colleagues – and anyone else who pops in for a chat. Everyone has a story, and I love listening and finding out more about people.
In my free time, I adore exploring the seaside and travelling. I also enjoy taking walks and being with my family.
