Mum has been a resident at aspen Grange for over two years. The staff have been supportive and understanding of her needs throughout this time. The level of care, both professional and friendly, has been outstanding. It feels as if the size of the home (number of residents and staffing ratio) is
ideal with Mum not being lost as just another resident.

My stepmum has been at Aspen Grange for some time now, and the standard of care that she receives is more than we could have asked for. The staff are attentive and friendly, and given the circumstances, my stepmum is happy and well cared for. There is plenty to keep her stimulated, and if there are
any issues we are informed immediately. As a family we are grateful for everything they do.

My brother and I were greeted on arrival by cheerful and courteous staff. We were pleased to find our relative (resident) in the home looking comfortable and relaxed. She was also looking well cared for. The staff were admirably patient and kind in manner. The decor & atmosphere was clean, bright
and welcoming. We greatly admired the professionalism of all the staff we encountered.

My mum has been at Aspen Grange for just over a year. My sister, husband and I are very pleased with her care. She has a nice ensuite room, the carers are amazing, so helpful, and friendly. They look after her hygiene needs and make her laugh, and encourage her to sit in the lounge. Nearly all the
carers we see have been there since mum moved in. The nurses are great at keeping on top of her medical needs, even when she spits her pills out.

My wife has now spent the first month in Aspen Grange. To date, I cannot fault facilities, management, carers, cleaners, cleanliness and comfort for the residents. Their food is adequate, with menus changing daily. There is a lovely garden with tables, chairs and gazebos for residents and families
to enjoy. Entertainment is provided most days. Dogs are allowed to visit also. My family and me are all in agreement, my wife is definitely in the right place to be cared for.

We moved my mother to Aspen Grange Dec 24. Since that move i have found the staff happily engage with my mother at various times of the day. they are very polite, helpful and caring towards my mother with seemingly no request to much to ask. They manage her diabetes well providing her with a well
balanced diet including fresh fruit each day. Although my mother is generally bed-bound, the staff make great efforts so she can now frequently have a proper bath.
Maintence is well attended to and the Home are quite amenable to hanging pictures etc on the walls for you.
The Home provide a variety of stimulating activities and events, even feeding the birds in the garden which she enjoys watching from her room window. The home is always clean and secure.
All in all, a much much better care home than the previous home in Chelmsford that Mother was in that was also more expensive.

My step mother in law is being well cared for at Aspen Grange. The staff manage her dementia extremely well and she is much more happy and content than she was before she arrived at Aspen Grange. The staff go the extra mile to engage with her and provide activities which she enjoys.

I am extremely pleased with the care and respect that my mum and my dad get in Aspen Grange. The staff are very kind and caring and go out of their way to do everything possible for the residents. I have never gone into the care home and had to say I'm unhappy about one thing as they are very well
cared for and would recommend this care home all the time.

Everything and everybody is brilliant, friendly, helpful, and commendable. Two minor gripes that sometimes go unnoticed - she's often slumped down too far in her chair and frequently hasn't swallowed the dispersible medication. Both issues are usually dealt with promptly by the staff.
02 September 2024
My mother is a long-term resident and whenever I raise an issue with the staff regarding a request from my mother it is dealt with quickly and efficiently. The rooms are spacious and I find all the staff very helpful.

My mother-in-law has been in Aspen Grange now for 4 months. Since going into the home she is eating, drinking and socialising in her own way with dementia.
She is washed and dressed every day which never happened when she had carers at home. The staff are the ones that have worked hard and been
very patient to achieve this.
The staff and manager are fantastic I cannot thank them enough.

My mum has recently become a permanent resident at Aspen Grange. It has been a difficult time for me, but all the staff have been absolutely amazing and that has really helped with the transition into full-time care. She can be challenging at times, but the staff always respond with kindness and are
excellent at distracting her and engaging her in a discussion. My mum loves her dog, and she is always welcomed into the home to visit Mum.
The home is always clean and sweet smelling, and the food always looks good.

Aspen Grange is a care home offering full support for my Stepmother who has severe dementia and has been residing there now for almost 6 months. They are able to cope with her behavioral changes and provide good hygiene and personal care that fully meets her needs.
19 June 2024
My dad was only in the home for 5 days before he sadly passed away, the care he received over this period was excellent, the manager of the home was very understanding and put our minds at ease, as we were very apprehensive about my dad going into a home, we couldn't have asked for better care for
him, l would highly recommend this home for any person suffering from dementia.
13 June 2024
My husband moved to Aspen Grange Nursing Home initially on a discharge to assess basis having been in hospital for several weeks with minimal support from hospital staff. After a few weeks at Aspen Grange my husband was supported to try walking (shuffling) again; he had his first shower in 2 years;
was supported to eat meals with the support of carers alongside other residents. All the staff made my husband feel so welcome it enabled him to settle quickly.
It was never the plan for my husband to move to a care home as we always wanted to care for him at home but the staff made the decision much easier to make and despite initial reservations it was the right decision to make.
07 June 2024

Thank you to all staff.

A thank you to all of the staff at Aspen Grange in Braintree. Our Dad was moved there after being fast-tracked out of hospital in July 2023 for end-of-life care. After a month in hospital, he was weak, dirty and confused. He was welcomed and cared for immediately in a nice comfy spacious room. The
staff built up a rapport straight away and realised that although he was very weak, he still had a good sense of humour. They encouraged him to eat and drink and helped him sit in the communal areas with the other residents. He thrived there although but after a while preferred his own space and to stay in his room - which staff always respected. Thanks to the care and the support of the staff he is strong enough to move back to his home town. He met with his consultant last who wasn't expecting to ever see him again - he said that one of the reasons he's still here is thanks to the care of the staff for giving him extra time to spend with family.
