Lovely care home. Staff are very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone whose loved one needs care. Ive got a family member in the home who has settled very well. Great range of activities to do and live music!

On behalf of my mother Margaret and myself. We have immense gratitude to the Ashcombe team, especially Gozel, Louise and Erika, Bianca for all their support to me personally and ensuring my mum has the support and encouragement she needs to transition from her home environment to Ashcombe (her new home). Her health needs are being met with a quicker response in comparison to being at home. She is settling in at her pace and becoming more confident in her surroundings. Also joining the Ashcombe team and community my mum is receiving the care that she needs, she is healthier, experiencing interaction with the entertainment/ activities and engaging with other residents.

A friendly, homely place and a lovely caring environment. Excellent resident-focused care from friendly, professional nurses and carers. Good home-cooked food and a good range of social activities. Family are welcomed.

I have a friend in Ashcombe House who is 99 years old, I think that the care home is very good with the staff, the manager, cleanliness and everything you would hope people you care about are treated.

Whenever I come away from Ashcombe House having visited Dad I always think how happy he seems. The staff are friendly and welcoming whenever we visit him, there are lots of activities in the lounge which we usually join in with and he gets to go out on organised trips which, to judge by his face on the photographs, he thoroughly enjoys. He's eating well and is comfortable and safe. A big thank you to all of the lovely staff for the wonderful care Dad receives.

Ashcombe House has looked after Mum for the last six years up until her death on 25 September aged 103. From our very first contact we have been impressed with Louise and all her staff. Mum was always treated with respect and her care was excellent. We feel extremely grateful that we found Ashcombe as Mum's last home.

So happy with the care dad gets at Barchester Ashcombe House, he feels happy and safe and secure. He loves the staff and has a good relationship with them all. As a family we are happy with the staff and care given to our dad. He is attending more of the activities now and really enjoys everything. Gillian is brilliant with him, encouraging him to attend. The nurses and staff are amazing with him and Louise runs an amazing home. He is enjoying his food and eats well. Thank you.

The staff are kind and helpful often pushed for time which is limited my partner would often wish to engage in a conversation and seems disopointed when not able to happen. Food could be varied more with more green veg and chewing ability of my partner taken into account as his false teeth can prove difficult.

All the staff at Ashcombe House are amazing. Managerial, nursing, carers, kitchen staff and cleaners were all amazing and treated my Dad with so much respect, he retained his dignity and regained his independence. Dad entered Ashcombe house, extremely frail, dehydrated and suffering delirium after a stay in hospital. The wonderful staff at Ashcombe House have nursed him back to health, helping him to gain strength and allowing him to build his confidence so that he has returned to living independently. I can't thank them enough and I am so grateful to the Manager, for seeing my Dad in hospital and getting him the care he needed. Thank you.

From the moment we first visited Ashcombe House-exhausted and overwhelmed-every single member of staff wrapped their arms not only around mum, but around our whole family. Their kindness, patience, and compassion were nothing short of angelic. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and it brought us such comfort to know mum was so well looked after. Plus the food was fantastic. All of mum's friends completely agreed with us that Ashcombe House was like a home from home Everyone has worked at Ashcombe for a very long time - and it shows.

We visited Ashcombe House, to see a friend who had recently become a resident there. We were immediately welcomed by staff- being given coffee and cake. We waited in a comfortable lounge area because the residents were enjoying entertainment in the main lounge. Our friend was brought to join us- we were offered more coffee! Our friend was obviously happy and settled in her new home- she was full of praise for how she was being cared for her every need was met with gentleness and concern. She really felt "at home".

The last three months my wife has been in the care of Barchester Ashcombe House Care Home. A lovely home and I wouldn't want to put anybody somewhere I wouldn't want to be myself. Thank you.

Sadly our mum didn't much time at Ashcombe Care Home before she died. But from the moment the general manager met her in hospital, to the day she died the care and attention given to mum was second to none. Every carer and nurse could not do enough to support her, and even in the end of life they cared for her and us with kindness and dignity. Only wish she had more time at Ashcombe.

When my aunt passed away in March. The management and staff went above and beyond to make sure that we were informed of what had happened to her. A member of staff was with her at all times during her time in hospital before she passed away. When we visited the home staff were very attentive to us. All the staff and management showed kindness to my aunt when we asked questions, they answered them with care, and genuinely, we could see they really cared and was loved by them. The home is immaculate and well maintained. My aunt was well looked after and I couldn't ask for any more.

My mother was 103 this last weekend. She is not aware of everything around her, but appeared happy to be in her best clothes, with balloons and a beautiful cake made especially for her. Mum has been in Ashcombe for 6 years and is always treated with respect and care.
10 April 2025
Very friendly home, where my wife felt at ease as soon as she arrived. The staff all got to know her immediately, and provided all her needs. The rooms are not big, and there are only 30 residents, which makes Ashcombe a very homely place to stay.
