Overall Experience

Mum moved into Sonning Gardens fairly recently. She has been cared for very well, even though she has sometimes been difficult and the staff have been very reassuring to us as family. Her medical needs have been addressed professionally and efficiently. We are very happy with her living here.

Reply from Sarah Townsend, Client Liaison Manager at Sonning Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are very happy with way your Mum is settling in a starting to take part in activities and engaging with other residents. It can take for new residents to settle but with the team and family all working together we can help residents move forwards in their new lives.

Overall Experience

When I visit my nan she is always busy somewhere else in the building, doing activities, which she loves and doesn't like me taking her away, so on some occasions I've joined in. The staff are very friendly and encourage her to do lots of things she wouldn't usually do.

Overall Experience

I visit my mum once a week and am amazed at the amount of activities she has done each week, from flower arranging to making hats or advents to dressing up for world book day. She really enjoys all the activities and likes telling me about them. The staff are wonderful at encouraging her but she doesn't

need much encouragement! The staff come up with wonderful ideas to keep all the residents active. Brilliant.

Overall Experience

My mother moved into Astbury Manor Care Home in August last year, after a time in hospital, she has onset dementia and this is absolutely the best place she could have been placed. She felt at home straight away, she looks forward to all the different activities daily, and really enjoys the food, I

am so pleased she is safe and well cared for.

I am very happy with my room, and the carers are very helpful when I ask for help. The care of my room is very well looked after and any help I need e.g. towels etc. is well catered for. I enjoy the peace and quiet of my room with lovely views of the garden etc.

Overall Experience

Mum was very poorly when she moved in last June. She was not eating properly and was becoming very isolated.
She is now so much better, she is eating well and joining in with many activities provided, which she enjoys.
She says the staff are all so kind and caring and she is lucky to be there.
I

have noticed several staff have left/retired recently. I hope they will be replaced.

Reply from Sarah Townsend, Client Liaison Manager at Sonning Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for your feedback and we are so pleased that your Mum is doing well. We have had a number of staff retire this year after many years of service so they deserve a rest! We are busy recruiting and have already filled some posts.

Overall Experience

The staff were really helpful and accommodating when we needed to move my mum in for respite care. They made the transition very quick and straightforward. Mum was made to feel welcome and settled very quickly and the staff were brilliant with her. She has remained at Sonning Gardens after the respite

period and is doing really well. She is well cared for, there are plenty of activities for her to get involved in and overall she is very happy there. The environment is well cared for and the gardens are lovely too.

Overall Experience

I am really impressed with Sonning Gardens from top to bottom. What lovely people the staff are. Nothing is too much trouble and Mum and Dad are really well looked after. Clothes are beautifully laundered (unusual in most care homes!) and their double bed is changed weekly and always looks nice.
The

only slight negative I have is that my dad struggles with the food. He likes the soup, but finds the main course are either too soft (the fish with the sauce and mash) or a bit overcooked. Sometimes they are a bit cool after coming up on the lift.

Reply from Sarah Townsend, Client Liaison Manager at Sonning Gardens Care Home - Avery Collection

Thank you for the lovely feedback for the staff and the home. We will relay your comments to the chef and ask him to have a chat with your Dad to see if we can come up with some options that might suit him better.

Sonning Gardens is a wonderful care home, more like a hotel.
The care and wonderful staff make my father's stay overall a great experience, although he would rather be at home, he realizes that he needs the care and attention that Sonning Gardens can give and we know he is in safe and caring hands.

Overall Experience

Walking into Ascot Grange is like stepping into a warm bath. My Mum moved in for respite care but, sadly, was far sicker than we all realised and passed away a couple of weeks later. The staff were absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, right through to the very end, they couldn't do enough

for Mum or the family and all done very professionally, with a friendly smile and a hug when needed. Nothing was too much trouble. The lovely surroundings helped too, Mum's room was so comfortable and everything was of such good quality while retaining a homely feel. I just wish she could have moved in a little earlier, I'm convinced she would have enjoyed the atmosphere, facilities and food.

Reply from Mark Deadman, Manager at Ascot Grange Care Home - Avery Collection

Dear Karen and family, thank you so much for your kind words. I have passed on your comments to the whole staff team. Your mother was very special to everyone here at Ascot Grange and has left a vast 'emotional hole' within our loving community. This is a huge testament to the impact that Mum made, during her short stay with us. We are all here to support you, please do reach out if you need anything. Take care of yourselves.

My husband has settled very happily into the Woodlands Dementia Unit. I think he feels part of a family group there. All the staff are very kind and caring, and very patient with my husband's communication problems. He enjoys the food and the activities provided, especially the musical entertainment

in the bistro.

Ascot Grange Care Home is more like a 5-star hotel run by a family. Everyone is so friendly and helpful and makes a real effort to make the residents feel at home. The food is exceptional and nothing is too much trouble. There is always something interesting to do to keep everyone engaged and stimulated.

The best place for my mother as it is so good to see her laughing again.

The staff at all levels are so kind and helpful and try to make each day a pleasant experience. I and other visitors are always made welcome.
Despite the limitations of dementia care is taken with communication and making choices.

From the second my dad arrived he was treated with the respect he was entitled to. The manager was amazing as were all members of staff. In a way, my dad was in the best place when he passed away. So glad we had that for him. Many thanks.
