Lovely staff who go out their way to help guests and each other! They work as a team, always smiling. To add they are always at the end of the phone! Nothing is an issue for management they make everyone feel at ease.

Review from Liz S (Mother of Resident) published on 5 June 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My son moved into Ashdale House in March 2020 and I am delighted with how he has settled there. His needs are complex and he is treated with respect and compassion, as well as working with him to understand and accept boundaries. He gets on well with the care team and the manager is brilliant with him.
This is the best placement he has been in and I hope he is there for a long time. Communication between myself and his team is good, and I feel that my contribution, as his parent, is valued. I am amazed that he has been able to successfully navigate the restrictions of Lockdown, but he has been supported brilliantly through it.
The accommodation is first class and has been renovated to the highest standard. My son feels safe and settled there and hopes to remain in the managers care for as long as is possible.

I recommend Ashdale House unreservedly; it has brought both my son and I the security and support he needs, to enable him to move forward to the next stage of his life.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
