We too feel your Mum has improved whilst living at Ashfields that's always our aim.Due to global  cost of living increases the only way we can provide the outstanding service and facilities is by increasing the fees to make the business financially viable and allow us to have good staffing levels and luxuries like activities 7 days per week, coffee shop, bar etc.   I would like to suggest you look around the local private homes as I regularly review our competitor rates and we are definitely not the cheapest or the most expensive.  Thank you so much for your positive compliments about the staff.
