I can't thank all of the staff enough for the wonderful care they gave to my auntie over the three years she was in the home. The staff showed so much kindness and understanding and nothing was too much trouble. I was very lucky to have found a care home full of wonderful caring people who made her
stay as comfortable as it could have been.

Mum is well cared for by a team of friendly staff. She eats well and enjoys the food. Her room is comfortable and warm, and I am happy that she is in a safe environment.

My mother has been made very welcome, she is treated very well by staff and has a good rapport with them. I feel she is safe and well looked after.

Mum lived at Ambleside for over four years and I cannot praise them more highly. The staff were friendly and welcoming, the food great, the overall ambience was good and there were regular activities - such as singing, painting, crafting etc.
Mum could be challenging but the Ambleside team
developed an excellent relationship with her and their care, patience and understanding meant both she and I were happy she was there.
As time moved on, mum struggled to understand what was happening to her and had mobility issues but she kept her sense of humour and the team adapted ways of working to keep her comfortable and content.
Sadly, mum died in July but the respect, care and warmth shown to mum - and to me - could not be faulted and I will be forever grateful.

My mum had been at Ambleside for 10 months now. She has settled in well and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Knowing she is safe and being well cared for means so much, especially after the guilt we felt when she couldn't cope any longer in her own home.

My mother has been a resident for 3 years now and is and continues to be cared for very well by the management and staff of Ambleside, which gives me great comfort as I do not live local. Their communication with me as her son is always very good.

My grandad stayed at the home for respite care during a really hard time for our family. The home made the transition effortless and he enjoyed his stay so much, he even considered not leaving! Thank you, Ambleside for your outstanding care.

My grandfather stayed at Ambleside whilst we prepared his room in our house. When I visited I was impressed with all aspects of the home - the staff were all friendly (including a gentleman who came by after his shift had ended to check on my grandfather before going home), the facilities were
spotless and the room was nicely decorated and well kept. My grandfather was able to join in some activities, and the staff helped him maintain elements of independence whilst also making him feel comfortable. He enjoyed the food. The stay had the additional benefit of improving his mental health during a time of upheaval in his life.

My father-in-law stayed at Ambleside for respite care for six weeks, whilst we prepared our home ready for him to come and live with us.
We were immediately put at ease by the friendly, understanding managers and staff team, everyone was warm friendly and welcoming, and nothing was too much
trouble.
His room and ensuite were newly decorated, bright, fresh, warm and inviting.
He settled in well and was made to feel safe and cared for by the staff team, all areas of his care were discussed and a care plan was put in place prior to his arrival.
Both his physical and medical needs were attended to, and he felt at home within days and really enjoyed getting to know the staff.
The food options were balanced and varied and he loved the extras such as afternoon cake, cheese and biscuits, fresh fruit, etc.
Thank you to everyone at Ambleside for making his stay such a pleasant experience for us all.

My mum has been at Ambleside since April this year and she is very happy. The difference I have seen in her just makes me feel a lot more at peace with the fact that now her behaviour has changed for the better. Her care and surroundings are excellent. I feel a lot happier in myself instead of
feeling guilty! Just knowing my mum is happier and safe means everything, so thank you all for all you do. I'll be forever grateful and I know Mum is too for the care she is receiving.

Staff are kind, helpful and approachable. Lovely to experience how Mum has settled. Thank you to all who assist my mum in every way. Very much appreciated.

My mum has been a resident of Ambleside Care Home since 2020.
Throughout Covid and afterwards, I have nothing but praise for the staff who care for my mum.
The home is well run, they keep you informed of any important developments, and they hold regular care reviews with relatives.
The staff
know the residents well and they treat them with dignity and respect, which can be challenging with residents who suffer with dementia.
There always seem to be lots of activities and things to keep the residents engaged and occupied and it is always lovely to see them participating through lots of posts on social media. This is much appreciated by the relatives.
Communication is good and relatives are able to talk to their family members easily and visits are easy to arrange too. I thoroughly recommend this home.
28 February 2023
I found the staff and management team friendly and motivated.
I liked how they were all invested in the clients.
How organised they are, and how easy it was to move our Mum in.
How they introduced Mum to other clients and made her feel at ease.

My mum moved into the home eighteen months ago. We are very happy with the care given, the staff have lots of patience. There are lots of activities on offer, my mum tells us the food is good. When we visit we are always welcome, it’s always clean and tidy and communication with management is easy.
My mum is very happy and settled.

Mum has been at Ambleside for the past six months for dementia care. The nurses are always kind, caring and friendly and mum always seems well cared for. As a family, we are always made welcome and offered tea when we go to visit. Homely atmosphere too.
28 February 2023
The staff took excellent care when placing a resident in the home recently. I also knew two other previously here, and they were looked after very well.
I have visited the home on multiple occasions, and it is always very clean, and other residents seem happy.
