We live in Ireland and visit our cousin a couple of times a year, especially for her birthday in February. We are very impressed with the staff who care for her as she has Parkinson's
and dementia but they do a difficult job seamlessly!
The staff are always friendly, polite and helpful especially
Gemma from "Activities " who helps us keep in touch from afar with prearranged video calls calls.
Ashlyns is set in beautiful surroundings and is very well maintained and the lovely lady at reception always greets us with a smile and a chat.
Thank you to all the staff who care for our loved ones when we can't

Nothing but care consideration help and friendlyness from staff at ever level from the time mother in law moved in.
Facilities at every level are second to none
Grounds and maintenance team all so helpful

Ashlyns is a beautiful purpose-built home set in lovely very accessible gardens. The building and gardens are all maintained to the highest standard. The whole home being extremely well lead and managed.
There is also an extensive activities programme. Mum enjoys the musical entertainment and it is
lovely to be able to attend with her.
From the moment mum moved in (initally on respite) we have been so impressed with the level of care and attention to detail. We cannot praise staff enough for all their kindness, patience and respect of her privacy and dignity. We feel very thankful to have been able to obtain a place for mum just at the pount she needed it.

My father has been at Ashlyn's care home for 6 weeks now. I can honestly say that the whole experience and for both my father and I, has been excellent. I would draw particular attention to the staff. Nothing is too much trouble and their civility, kindness and friendliness is particularly
noticeable. Overall the home is incredibly clean, efficient and indeed almost homely. If anything and I mean this is a complementary way, it feels more like a very good hotel for the senior members of society! I would have absolute no hesitation in recommending Ashlyn's. Top marks!

Dad is now the longest resident at Ashlyn's and I couldn't be more delighted that he is living his life so fully in the willows with the care and love and support of the amazingly professional compassionate team and the delicious food and the fantastic activities to help keep him connected.

I am a friend of a lady who is in this home. She has Parkinson's and went into the home two years who, firstly as a resident and now due to her health deteriorating, she is now in the Dementia wards. When I visit her weekly, I find her as well as expected. Being confused, she is not really aware of
what is going on. The staff seem pleasant and helpful especially the lady in the from reception desk, she does the beginning of the week, always helpful and happy.

Mum moved to Ashlyns at the start of 2025 initially for respite care and soon became permanent. This was an uncertain time for us but all the staff were friendly, reassuring and welcoming. Mum settled in quickly and her health improved at the same time. Having been somewhat isolated at home, Mum now
engages in the many and varied activities provided and has made friends with other residents. She regularly comments on how lovely and helpful the staff are and this experience is shared by myself and my wife whenever we visit. She enjoys the food too! The home provides a calming but cheerful and friendly environment, enhanced by the beautiful gardens and conservatory. It is comforting knowing that Mum is safe, well looked after and contented. Thanks to all the staff and management at Ashlyns.

Both of my parents needed extra support over the last few years and Ashlyns was the top of my list for where to place them. It lived up to all my expectations. The staff are all amazing.. there is always a smile and lots of support, most importantly when things are hard. The care given is second to
none and especially as my parents were deteriorating, the dignity and dedication that was provided I will never forget. It's a lovely environment too, very clean and light with lovely grounds where you can take a walk. And most importantly for those with mobility issues all on one level. I cannot recommend Ashlyns enough. A lot of effort is made with the food, being home cooked wherever possible and mum and dad enjoyed their meals. And there is an extensive biscuit tray!! Having to place your parents in a care home is hard enough but when you have the immense support of a lovely team of people it makes it so much easier to bare. Thank you to the managers and the all the team.

I have felt very supported by the care given to my sister. The staff are very patient with her and take into account her worries and concerns. In particular, when she has been attended to by the dentist and a district nurse, they have demonstrated compassion and care. I am very grateful to all
concerned.
14 May 2025
My parents are residents of Ashlyns Care Home, and the care they receive is kind, professional, and compassionate. The fact that there are many longstanding staff members contributes to the positive atmosphere and residents' knowledge. The rooms and facilities are attractive and well maintained.

I am very impressed with Ashlyns Care Home. All the staff are friendly and approachable. Mum is well looked after and the facilities offered are excellent. The carers have adapted well to her changing needs. She is settled and happy in her new home.

My mother has been a resident of Ashlyns Care Home for over a year now. The whole family has been so impressed with the care given to my mum over this period. The carers have been like an extended family to my mum and she enjoys all her chats with them. The fact that a lot of the carers and admin
staff have been working at Ashlyns for many years and that it is not full of agency workers also adds to the positive experience. The food is very good and my mum especially enjoys the breakfasts. Her room is lovely and she has made it into a home from home with all her artwork and furniture. There are many activities planned for the week and my mum enjoys attending some of these. We are so grateful to all the staff for their hard work especially as we live a distance away from the home and cannot visit on a regular basis. We would certainly recommend Ashlyns Care Home to anyone else who has an elderly parents needing to go into a care home.

Mum is very happy in the home and regularly mentions how much she likes the staff. More importantly, her health is improving since she came here over 2 years ago. The staff are excellent!

My stepmother has been a resident at Ashlyns for seven months now. The transition was challenging at first, moving from independent living to a residential home, but over time, she has adapted very well. She seems very settled now and has built lovely connections with both the staff and other
residents. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive and always willing to listen and address any concerns we may have. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble for them. They actively encourage my stepmother to participate in activities and she spends much of her day out of her room, which has made such a positive difference.
I've noticed a significant improvement in both her mental and physical health and it's heartwarming to see her smile so much these days. We're truly grateful for the care and support she's receiving.

My friend has been living at Ashlyn's for a few months and I feel she is safe and is being very well looked after both physically and emotionally. The staff are all very friendly and respectful towards both residents and their friends and families and managers are excellent and deal with any issues
or difficulties efficiently with good communication.
I have had many friends who have had to move into care homes but I will always recommend Ashlyn's as I feel they go above and beyond to help the residents adjust to their new surroundings and routines and make it feel like home.

Just a short note to say what a lovely afternoon I had with my mother in the Willows. The lady was doing a simple art activity around the table and the atmosphere was so warm. Lovely chat, music playing and cups of tea. Everyone happy and included.

My father has been living at Ashlyns Care Home for eight months. I have been impressed from the beginning with every aspect of the care home and the attention my father has received has been exemplary. Staff are very welcoming, kind and caring and really take time to get to know the residents. Any
queries I have had have been dealt with quickly, I see the staff going out of their way to help residents and their families, the activities are varied and very well run by a super cheerful team, residents can take day trips out to local events and there is plenty of laughter and good humour. My father is thriving.

Very welcoming person on the front desk. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Care staff are friendly and approachable. Lots of activities organised for residents, not sure how all-inclusive they are for residents who lose track of time or not sure where to go. Have sampled some meals, eating with Mum
in the conservatory table laid and very good service of food. The room is very small but looks onto the courtyard. Ensuite is tiny and have had to ask for it to be cleaned on several occasions. Garden areas are nice to sit out in.

Good activity programme.
Residents meetings to gain feedback and make improvements.
Effort made to engage the families.
