Overall Experience

The specialist care received was second to none. The staff really engaged with my mother and took the time to ensure all her needs were met, not only physically but stimulating her.

Overall Experience

My wife suffered from vascular dementia and was sent to a home in April 2018. The family wasn't happy with it so we transferred her to Ambleside, which we found completely satisfactory as they specialised in dementia patients. They looked after her, cared for her and she loved them! The family were

delighted at the move.

Overall Experience

My dad was transferred to Ambleside from hospital for palliative care. Although his stay was brief before he passed, we have taken much comfort in knowing he was somewhere so welcoming and caring.

All the staff we met could not have done more to make us and dad feel at home and have shown so much

compassion.

We cannot thank them enough.

Overall Experience

My mum was recently admitted to Ambleside and I am so pleased that we chose this particular Nursing Home. After looking at quite a few, I walked into Ambleside with my son and we both immediately new it was the right place for mum. The location is ideal and close to the town and seafront. Just right

for a stroll in the wheelchair in the spring/summer and easy to take mum out for her loved latte' at the local shops, which she enjoys. Ambleside is like a home from home for my mum, I am so happy and relieved that I chose this nursing home. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly and you actually feel they are part of the family. Nothing is too much trouble for them, even when they are obviously busy, they still ask if you want a drink as soon as you get there. The care my mum receives is excellent, and I can't praise them enough, dealing with mum and her decline in her dementia. Staff keep informed with all aspects of her care and her physical and mental wellbeing.

Overall Experience

My father has recently been having a few problems and is feeling quite unsettled due to a lot of staff changes. However, all the staff have continued to provide support as always. The staff will always contact me if they have any concerns, which I truly appreciate.
My father seems to be more settled

and a lot happier.

Overall Experience

My mother has been in Ambleside for more than 5 years.
The care she receives is second to none.
She is now bedridden but is treated with affection and respect.
The staff are all polite and happy and this reflects in the service that they provide.
I often pop in at different times and never once

have I felt like I was a nuisance.
I am always kept up to date with her moods and medical condition.
I feel so lucky to have found a home like Ambleside and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

Mum has spent time at Ambleside on two occasions. The first was for 12 days following a fall in September 2015 and the second time was at her request for care and respite in November/December 2015, whilst my wife and I were on holiday for three weeks.
The care she received on both occasions was second

to none and she most certainly felt like one of the Ambleside family. The food care and staff were all excellent. When we visited we always were made to feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble.
