The overall care at Ashton Manor is good although there has been a lack of continuity with care staff.
There also appears to be a delay with some maintenance on the top floor which detracts from the overall appearance of the home.
The food is not of the standard I would expect and needs to
improve and be more suited to the needs of the residents.

Ashton Manor provides such a positive, professional and enriching environment for my loved one. They set themselves the highest standards and are always responsive and open to feedback and suggestions.
The buildings are first class, the care thorough and dignified and there is a good variety
of food on offer. Everyday there is some event to stimulate the lives of the residents.
Absolutely can not fault the home.

After moving my Aunt into Ashton Manor I sent this email to the manager.
I'd just like to say thanks to all your staff, who have been so helpful and caring during this couple of days. I've spoken to several members of staff, seniors and carers and without fail they have been kind, helpful and
caring. This experience has reinforced my initial impression from observing staff when I have been there and seeing them interacting with residents. I made the right choice of care home.

My brother moved to Ashton Manor for residential care 18 months ago. An issue several months after his arrival was delt with promptly and professionaly. He feels I could not have found a better home for him, the staff are kind, caring and respect his need for privacy.
The staff contact me
regularily to keep me updated. I live many miles away and cannot visit very often so it is reassuring to know that he is happy and well cared for.

My partner has been in Ashton Manor Care homefor just short of 4 years.
In that time I have found the home to have been administered in an extremely professional manner and a caring approach. They never detract from the main objective, which is "CARING for the RESIDENT". The activities , the
catering and rooms are also to a high standard . I am fully of gratefully towards all the staff
at Ashton Manor for their dedicated care

On the whole we have been extremely pleased with the care provided by the home. My mother is treated with kindness and respect at all times. All the staff and management are helpful, professional and friendly. The quality and standards of fabric and the building are lovely, certainly comparable to
a nice hotel in their comfort. The entertainment and activities are varied, well run and fun with family and friends encouraged to attend and join in where appropriate. We are happy and pleased and would make the same decision again to trust the home with our Mothers care.
Two issues cause us a slight irritation a) various items of clothing disappearing during the laundry process, despite a personal tagging system system which should prevent this b) access to the home after the admin/reception staff have left at 5pm.

Mum has been in the Ashton Manor care home for nearly 2 years now. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in her early stays and became very settled and happy within a very short space of time due to the support and care that she received. Mum is very mobile therefore loves to help and participates in
all the activities that are on offer. The social activities that are provided at Ashton Manor are a credit to them. Mum and I have had such happy times together whether it was a day at the races or armchair travels, thank you Ashton Manor.

My sister has vascular dementia and is a vegetarian.
She is very difficult to cater for at the best of times.
The staff are very patient with her and try very hard to get her something she will eat.
It's not always successful but they always try.

My friend has Alzheimer's Disease and has been a resident at Ashton Manor Care Home since October 2023. The home is a modern building with spacious ensuite rooms. It has a welcoming atmosphere where all the residents are well cared for, supported by kind, compassionate, caring staff, and are able to
enjoy having their personal possessions e.g.pictures and some of their own furniture in their rooms.Relatives have good regular communication from the staff, and are made welcome as part of the family.There is the opportunity for residents to take part in a range of activities organised by the staff, which includes visits from local community groups. A great deal of consideration has been given to my friend's personal needs by all the staff, particularly with regard to the things that she enjoys such as music and food, and she is as comfortable as possible.

My mother has dementia and recently stayed for 2 months in Ashton Manor. She left to relocate closer to my father when a place became available. Overall my mum thrived at Ashton Manor. She responded well to the environment, staff and residents such that her communication was improved over the
course of her stay. My only real criticism was that there didn't seem to be enough staff cover for Reception meaning it was intermittently a problem getting in to visit my mum.

Ashton Manor is recent build care home with excellent facilities and a high standard of repair. However, what stood out for me was the outstanding quality of the people who are employed there. Every member.of the staff I met, at all levels of the work force whatever the task, we're highly
professional in their role and we're compassionate, caring and kind, even in the most difficult of situations. Something for which I will be eternally grateful.

My mother has recently relocated to Ashton Manor in the North West, to be near to family. This is not easy for her after 40 years down South. However, the staff at Ashton Manor have been very helpful and supportive. She is enjoying her new home and the level of care is excellent. She has fairly high
needs and the staff have adapted to her without any problem. Medical and health matters are being addressed promptly and without fuss. Her sleeping is already much improved. It is early days for mother but there are clearly lots of activities in the home if the guests wish to take part. My mother also rates the food and nutrition highly, which can be taken in the room or in the dining areas. Ashton Manor is clean and modern. It is welcoming for family and guests. We have been made to feel part of the family. We have a high degree of trust in the management and staff. Communication is also very good.

The process of integrating my dad into Ashton Manor has been outstanding. It was emotionally difficult to admit him, but the staff welcomed my dad with sensitivity and care when he arrived in July. Since then he has come to feel that Ashton Manor is his proper home. He has mixed dementia so his
issues are complex. The positivity and sensitivity of staff during interactions have always been impressive and the Christmas period was beautifully celebrated. My father is an artist, though sadly this is impaired by his condition and the arthritis which prevents him from performing with any manual dexterity.
His work is on the walls in his room, and staff frequently inquire about its meanings and why a particular title has been selected. My dad's answers are frequently varied and may sound obscure but staff always discuss it with him.
Staff are always welcoming and delightful to talk with. They offer a lot of detail about what they have been talking about with my dad. I don't worry anymore.

I could not have found a better place anywhere for respite care. All the staff were caring, compassionate and friendly. A lot of work went into special events of which there were many ie barbeques and games afternoon. It was spotless and clean, no nasty smells. Food was very varied with a good
choice. In no way could I fault anything. I feel privileged to have stayed here.

My father suffered from dementia and parkinsons, he came to the home directly from the hospital. From the very start, the staff were wonderful, they were all professional, they kept me and my family fully informed of issues. In the short time my father was in the home he was looked after very well
and respectfully. I can't thank you all enough for letting him retain his dignity in his last few days. My mother and I were able to spend his last moments together. The staff were again supportive and respectful to our loss. Thank you so much.

Ashton Manor is a beautiful, modern care home. As soon as I walked through the front door I could feel the love and affection my husband would get. It isn't just a building, it is the staff, all the way from management to young carers, everyone who worked there. They provided us with anything we
wanted in a truly professional way. Thank you very much, my husband had the best treatment and died with dignity.

Mum spent 5 weeks in Ashton Manor (AM). Mum had some mobility and communication issues and we needed a home that could support Mum while she received rehabilitation.
Our main reasons for choosing AM were that every room has a full en-suite, wet room/bathroom and that staffing levels - especially
overnight - seem higher than other care homes.
During Mum's stay, we were impressed with other aspects of AM. Rooms and corridors are large, bright, airy and clean. There are sitting rooms that feel homely and not institutional. Food is good and there is a program of activities to keep residents physically and mentally active.
Most important was the level of care and support provided. We felt Mum was safe and well looked after. Medication was administered safely, assistance with personal needs was provided quickly and with dignity, staff was friendly and kind.
Yes, AM fees are a bit higher than other homes, but I feel the incremental cost is worth it for the difference in care.

We cannot thank the staff enough for the kindness and care they showed to my aunt in enough words that will explain our gratitude to them. They took care of her every need to the very end and went above and beyond not just for her but for us her family and friends every step of the way. They made a
difficult time so much easier and we would recommend Ashton Manor to everyone looking for a home that cares about their residents and their families too. Thank you!

Our mum came to Ashton Manor in April and has settled really well. All members of staff have been so caring and obviously take pride in their work. They cannot do enough for Mum and have such a lovely manner. There are always interesting and engaging activities available. Family and friends always
feel welcome and a part of the community at Ashton Manor. Thank you to all involved.

My mum has just moved into Ashton Manor having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s last year. Having looked around various care homes, I’m so thankful we found Ashton Manor. This place is the most perfect place for Mum, the staff are just fantastic, have helped us all as a family, helped Mum settle in
and feel safe and she’s already making new friends. The staff are very attentive, not just with Mum and other residents, but also with our family. I can’t thank them enough for what they have done for us in such a short space of time.
