Diana, member of staff, so friendly and always has time for both residents & their relatives. She had a lovely relationship with my mother and could gently persuade her to take her tablets when she was being grumpy. She always has time to have a joke and a laugh with my step-dad as well. She is an
asset to the home, valued member of staff.

Although my wife's care needs have become more complex as her dementia has progressed over the years, the quality of her care hasn't changed. It's always been of the highest standard, and I can't praise the carers and nurses too highly. My wife is treated with such kindness, and her dignity is
respected at all times. She is happy, and I am very grateful for that.

Horace has been staying at Ashby House since Jan 2024. He has settled down well. I am pleased with the level of care that he received. The care staff always provide service with a smile.

My mother has been a resident since July 25. Unfortunately she requires mental and physical help due to her complex needs. I was anxious about the move. It is quite daunting for an 89 yr old to try & settle in to a new environment, new people and surroundings, especially with dementia.

My husband has been a resident for almost five years.
His care has always been exemplary.
Various staff changes/absences recently have not changed the day by day care.
Have always found all staff very welcoming - always able to listen and offer advice & comfort to me when I have needed such
support.

Very welcoming and clean. The staff really take care of the residents. I have seen a massive improvement in my grandads mental and physical health. Everyone is very friendly and the homemade cakes are a lovely touch.

Just before Christmas my husband was discharged from hospital but, due to his needs, wasn't able to come home. A friend recommended Barchester Ashby House Care Home. I am just so glad that she did.
From the moment I was shown around by one staff member in particular, through interview with the
manager, and my various dealings with other staff, I was impressed by an atmosphere of warmth, friendliness, kindness and helpfulness. To have to find respite care just before Christmas is not easy but Ashby House stepped up to the mark making a difficult job run smoothly.
My husband has been cared for wonderfully well over the past weeks, is happily settled and is full of praise for the kindness and respect shown to him by all the staff. Unfortunately, he will not be able to return home as hoped but I feel happy leaving him there knowing how he and I are treated.
Getting to know staff better is a great experience, as is meeting other residents and their families - everyone is friendly and nice. I would highly recommend Ashby House.

The manager visited me in the hospital after showing my partner around Ashby House Care Home. She gave me lots of helpful information and agreed that I could go there the following day. On arrival, I was very warmly welcomed by the manager and various members of staff. I had a cup of tea and a
biscuit in my room and was then given a tour of the corridors and day spaces in a wheelchair. It was then lunchtime and I had an enjoyable lunch with other residents.
Throughout my week's stay, I was very well looked after. All staff were very friendly and helpful during the day and overnight.
I would recommend Ashby House Care Home.

Care, kindness, compassion and love describe the end-of-life care given to my mother and the ongoing care given to my father, who is also a resident. The whole team made this very hard time as good as it could be and continues to give us support and confidence.

Barchester Ashby House Care Home has looked after my mum for over three years now, they are absolutely wonderful, everyone is caring, compassionate and friendly, I am so pleased my mum is in Ashby House.
Mum, sadly, is now in respite care and the team has been marvellous at moving her to be near
the nurse's station and making her welcome and comfortable and keeping me informed.
Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind, it means so much.

My mum had to be moved to a home in July and finding the right one was a stressful time. The team at Barchester Ashby House Care Home were amazing and from the first phone call with the administrator through to getting Mum settled was a great experience. The team really cares and have gone the extra
mile to make sure that Mum was settled. The room is lovely and the facilities are well-kept and the open spaces are welcoming. Only small glitch is that the wi-fi in some rooms is not as strong and maintaining contact is not always possible. That aside, it is a great place and we are very happy Mum has a new home. I can fully recommend Ashby House.

Respect and kindness shown by every singled member of staff to my father and myself have been wonderful.
From the kitchen staff, housekeeping, maintenance and admin to the superb nursing staff, the professional and friendly care is first-class.
Barchester Ashby House Care Home has helped the
family cope with a stressful time and continues to support the family.

I find all the staff very friendly and if my dad is unwell, they contact me.

My wife was agitated and distressed prior to admission and the staff turned that around incredibly quickly. By the time of my first visit, she was calmer than she had been in months, content and actually eating again. I have nothing but praise for the staff, they are patient and kind and seem very
fond of my wife. She feels safe and mostly calm again. My only criticism so far is that recently when I picked her up to take her for a hospital appointment she didn't have the right incontinence pads on so an accident in the car proved to be very messy.
