View Full Details of Ashfield Nursing & Residential Home"We're not posh but we're a home!" This was the comment from one of the managers that convinced me that Ashfield was the best place for my Mum to live and I never regretted the decision over the seven years she was there. The staff are wonderful, caring, well trained and make great effort to get to know all the residents individually and get the best out of them. The food is excellent, the rooms are warm and comfortable, and there is a wide range of activities arranged for the residents to keep them stimulated. Medical care is meticulously managed and a close but discreet eye kept to ensure welfare. Support and information for family members is also excellent and staff are keen to work with relatives to ensure the best life for the residents. The atmosphere in the place is genuinely one of a large family. Several staff visited my mum in hospital during her final days and the fact that half a dozen of them attended her funeral I thought spoke volumes.
The team at Ashfield Nursing and Residential Home came across as very caring in how they interacted with the residents. From caring for their eating and healthcare needs to just having a short conversation with them, so that they felt they were part of a "family". This caring extended to how they supported the family in providing updates and assistance on their family member so that they always felt they knew how their loved one was. The holistic approach to caring for their residents was clearly demonstrated by their proactive help to the family with dealing with health and financial issues. It made it so much easier to have someone covering your back and giving good advice when dealing with the various outside agencies. Finally when my mother passed their response was one of kindness and care for both the resident and the family. It made my mother's last years comfortable and took away the worries.
I have known this family business since it was founded many years ago. I always knew that if and when the time came to use their services they would be my first choice. Easy to deal with and very friendly and caring the staff are second to none.
I would recommend Ashfield over many of the more expensive care homes you might visit. Some of these places advertise such facilities as cinemas or restaurants. However, at Ashfield, they spend money on care and the quality of their staff. My mother, who suffered from dementia, spent the last three years of her life at Ashfield and could not have been better looked after. The staff are committed and professional, but most importantly are extremely kind.
I cannot fault in any way my mother's care, from the cleaning staff, entertainment staff, kitchen staff, nursing staff and management, all worked together as a team and genuinely seemed to care about their roles. On visiting the welcome by all was lovely, just felt like visiting Mum in her own home, can't be better than that.
A lovely homely environment. People are kind and respectful. Very clean. The food is excellent due to a proper chef.
