Mum had a fall at home, which resulted in a bleed on the brain, a broken right wrist and a broken left thumb. This time last week, she had a UTI with E. coli and also pneumonia. She was extremely frail and also had delirium. Four days at Astley Hall have transformed her. The staff and the
environment are superb, and nothing is too much trouble. My family are so reassured that she is in the best place possible, and she is smiling more each day. Many thanks to all that make Astley Hall so successful.

My mum has been a resident for 4 1/2 years. Each stage of her dementia has been treated with care due care and respect. Sometimes it can be difficult dealing with residents suffering from dementia but the staff give 110% of themselves to the care of the residents.

The care home is absolutely brilliant. Clean areas, lovely staff, and helpful and polite staff. My friend is very happy here. I like to visit her in Astley Hall because it's a house that is giving her everything that she needs.

My husband was a resident in Astley Hall from March 2023 until his death in January 2026.
He went there following a stroke and he also had dementia. I cared for him at home for three and a half years but he eventually became too much for me to manage.
The staff at Astley Hall were all so caring
and friendly and they became my friends too. They looked after him so well even though he could be difficult at times due to the dementia.
The environment is lovely with en-suite rooms and the Bistro area makes the place feel more like a hotel than a care home.
There are also dedicated staff who organise Activities for residents so there is always something to do.
If you need to be in a care home then this is the one to be in!
I cannot thank the staff enough for all they have done for both of us.
Thank You!!

Astley Hall took great care of our Mum in her later life.
The staff were amazing, everyone I met was happy to be there, supporting the residents and created an atmosphere of warm and welcoming, geniune care
There were some stand out people, and they know who they are, thank you
It was lovely to have
Christmas lunch with Mum, one of our last lovely memories of her having a wonderful time with me and her granddaughters
Thank you to everyone, you are fabulous

Overall Dads care was always kind and compassionate at Astley Hall , in his final days he was was cared for on the nursing floor I would of preferred Dad to stay on the Residential floor where his regular careers were but I fully understand the reason as Dad needed regular medication administered
to keep him comfortable .
His final day was very calm pain free and peaceful and the staff treated dad with care and respect and dignity.
In the 14 months that Dad was a resident my main area for improvement and development would be communication between staff regarding some of Dads personal needs, hearing aids ,Teeth ,and grooming and monitoring of his diabetes .
12 March 2026
We would like to express our sincere thanks to the staff for the excellent care provided to our dad. His first stay was over Christmas and New Year, and it was wonderful to see a smile on his face during that time. After an extended stay in hospital, he returned for a second stay during which he
sadly passed away.
Throughout both visits, the team were compassionate, attentive, and professional. They treated him with dignity and kindness, always keeping him comfortable and providing reassurance to our family. He particularly enjoyed the food, especially the trifle!
As for value for money, while funding your own care at Astley Hall is expensive, it is no more costly than other care homes we looked at.
Thank you for everything you did for our dad - it truly made a difficult time more bearable.

From our first visit to Astley Hall, it was clear that the facility was in great condition and more importantly, there were plenty of staff to care for the patients.
On floor 1, the staff were fabulous. All wore a smile and couldn't do more to look after mum.
I would happily recommend the home
and staff, one or two in particular went over and above!

My mum has settled so well at Astley Hall. The rooms are kept spotlessly clean and mum is always dressed, clean and wearing her pearls when I visit with a big smile on her face which speaks volumes. I visit every other day. There is also a hair salon and Bistro on site. Mum has visits to both and
often Mum and I enjoy a sing song in The Bistro when events are being held. Mum has become quite fussy eating lately and the staff go above and beyond to try different items of food that mum might like. Every single member of staff put's so much effort, patience, care and compassion into looking after my mum and even after the long hours they all put in, they still find the time to ask how I am. I could not have managed this dementia journey without you all, the support means a lot to me. What a great team! Thank you to the whole team that makes Astley Hall what it is and for all your smiles and support!

Considering that this was so expensive- nearly £4000 for 2 weeks - it fell far below expectations. More like an expensive but failing hotel
I did not feel safe in my room as inmates kept bursting in. I didn't feel that this was taken very seriously ("they won't do any harm" )
Even the food was
poor and no sign of a proper menu.. Being a vegetarian seemed to be a problem. No proper orange juice.
Care was good although intermittent.
Activity leaders were not trained.

Astley Hall is a lovely bright care home but more importantly the staff are very supportive and kind to my relative - always with a smile from the minute you are greeted at reception through to the management team.
The nurses informed me on a regular basis of my relatives decline/changes in
behaviour with dementia and any medication updates the doctors had advised. This was very important due to the distance I could not visit as often as I liked.
Although my relative did not wish most of the time to become involved in daily entertainment or activities- the staff would always encourage but not force anyone to participate. Which was a shame as there always seemed to be something different going on!
A bonus to the facilities the residents have access to a hairdresser/chiropodist possibly more.
As you enter the reception there is a lovely bistro area which is a great place for my relative to leave their room/tv lounge (as lovely as they are) sit with family, friends and other residents.

I looked at a few homes before my dad had to go into care but this one offered light, modern and clean accommodation. The temperature is perfect for elderly people who feel the cold. The staff, especially the nursing staff are lovely. Yes, voices are a little raised but only so the residents can
hear them! My father has had some minor health issues and I was kept fully notified and they were dealt with swiftly. Prices seem comparable with other similar homes. My only complaint is that don't seem to offer trips out for the more mobile residents
23 June 2025
The management of the facility exhibited significant shortcomings, characterized by delayed responses that often spanned several days. Additionally, certain team members displayed a lack of professionalism, speaking condescendingly to residents and occasionally raising their voices, which
contributed to an uncomfortable atmosphere. Beyond the exorbitant costs associated with care, the quality of service provided to my father was notably subpar. Following a serious fall that necessitated a hospital stay, it became evident that his basic needs were not being met; his clothing was unclean, and he was not given adequate personal hygiene care. This experience raises serious concerns about the overall standards of care and the treatment of residents within the facility.

Lovely home, caring people. My mother is very happy here. Wonderful facilities and very clean. Activities much better now there are more than one activity person. Would recommend and comparatively very good value.
13 May 2025
We were highly satisfied with the care and support Mum received while she was a resident,at Astley Hall.All her visitors were made very welcome.Mum loved to join in with the activities especially quizzes and singing.she also enjoyed her meals .Everyone who worked at Astley would stop and have a chat
with Mum which she loved.
20 March 2025
As a family we have been very pleased with the level of care provided to our mother over the last 2 1/2 years. She has now entered the final stage of dementia and we are happy with how sensitively this has been managed. Thank you very much. I would not hesitate to recommend Astly Hall to anyone.
17 March 2025
Staff very caring. Excellent service on all fronts. Well looked after. Kept up to date with all her needs.

Mum went in for respite care during the refitting of her bathroom. She settled well, although very reluctantly and would never admit this! All staff treated mum with respect and were always approachable. She refers to the friends she made during her stay and we hope to visit soon. Thank you all who
made this unsettling time calmer.

The staff at Astley Hall are all extremely dedicated and caring. The care given is usually of a very high standard, with only minor, but extremely frustrating slip-ups. Mum uses hearing aids and whilst the personal care staff are very good at getting mum's aids fitted into her ears (mum has
arthritis in her hands and is unable to do this herself) they do on occasion forget to turn them on!
The staff have made mum transition into care home living a very calm and easy process, and Mum is busy making some new friends.

I had the most wonderful experience when visiting my dear friend who is currently a resident at the stunning Astley Hall Care Home.
From the very moment I walked through the door, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was the most warm and caring atmosphere. The relaxed, comfortable
relationship between staff and residents is evident and it is obvious how well loved and cared for my dear friend is. My dear friend is very happy in her home and has made so many special friends.
I am really looking forward to visiting again soon.
Oh, and I must add, the food is exceptional too!
