I am very impressed with Ashlyns Care Home. All the staff are friendly and approachable. Mum is well looked after and the facilities offered are excellent. The carers have adapted well to her changing needs. She is settled and happy in her new home.

My mother has been a resident of Ashlyns Care Home for over a year now. The whole family has been so impressed with the care given to my mum over this period. The carers have been like an extended family to my mum and she enjoys all her chats with them. The fact that a lot of the carers and admin staff have been working at Ashlyns for many years and that it is not full of agency workers also adds to the positive experience. The food is very good and my mum especially enjoys the breakfasts. Her room is lovely and she has made it into a home from home with all her artwork and furniture. There are many activities planned for the week and my mum enjoys attending some of these. We are so grateful to all the staff for their hard work especially as we live a distance away from the home and cannot visit on a regular basis. We would certainly recommend Ashlyns Care Home to anyone else who has an elderly parents needing to go into a care home.

Mum is very happy in the home and regularly mentions how much she likes the staff. More importantly, her health is improving since she came here over 2 years ago. The staff are excellent!

My stepmother has been a resident at Ashlyns for seven months now. The transition was challenging at first, moving from independent living to a residential home, but over time, she has adapted very well. She seems very settled now and has built lovely connections with both the staff and other residents. The staff are incredibly kind, attentive and always willing to listen and address any concerns we may have. Nothing ever feels like too much trouble for them. They actively encourage my stepmother to participate in activities and she spends much of her day out of her room, which has made such a positive difference. I've noticed a significant improvement in both her mental and physical health and it's heartwarming to see her smile so much these days. We're truly grateful for the care and support she's receiving.

My friend has been living at Ashlyn's for a few months and I feel she is safe and is being very well looked after both physically and emotionally. The staff are all very friendly and respectful towards both residents and their friends and families and managers are excellent and deal with any issues or difficulties efficiently with good communication. I have had many friends who have had to move into care homes but I will always recommend Ashlyn's as I feel they go above and beyond to help the residents adjust to their new surroundings and routines and make it feel like home.

Just a short note to say what a lovely afternoon I had with my mother in the Willows. The lady was doing a simple art activity around the table and the atmosphere was so warm. Lovely chat, music playing and cups of tea. Everyone happy and included.

My father has been living at Ashlyns Care Home for eight months. I have been impressed from the beginning with every aspect of the care home and the attention my father has received has been exemplary. Staff are very welcoming, kind and caring and really take time to get to know the residents. Any queries I have had have been dealt with quickly, I see the staff going out of their way to help residents and their families, the activities are varied and very well run by a super cheerful team, residents can take day trips out to local events and there is plenty of laughter and good humour. My father is thriving.

Very welcoming person on the front desk. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Care staff are friendly and approachable. Lots of activities organised for residents, not sure how all-inclusive they are for residents who lose track of time or not sure where to go. Have sampled some meals, eating with Mum in the conservatory table laid and very good service of food. The room is very small but looks onto the courtyard. Ensuite is tiny and have had to ask for it to be cleaned on several occasions. Garden areas are nice to sit out in.

Kind and friendly staff. Well-maintained facilities. Good activity programme. Residents meetings to gain feedback and make improvements. Effort made to engage the families.

I came for respite care. All staff were very thoughtful, kind and helped me get stronger. Nothing was too much trouble. Everything well organised. I would recommend Ashlyns.

I had to take my mum for an eye check-up. I had emailed when I needed to collect Mum and asked to book a wheelchair as well. When I arrived to collect Mum, the staff had her ready with a wheelchair and a number of staff to make sure all went well to get us off on time. It really felt like we were all working together to care for Mum. I was very grateful.

Both my parents are at Ashlyns and I am grateful for the care and kindness they receive. Now covid is controlled they have organised some lovely events for residents and visitors. The brass band afternoon tea was so brilliant. Thank you to all the staff.

I rarely feel so moved to write a review, but Ashlyns is an incredible and very special place. My dad had been very poorly and we were looking for somewhere for him to heal and get his confidence back after a very long time in hospital. As soon as I visited Ashlyns, I was impressed by the warmth, kindness and sincerity of everyone. And from the moment Dad arrived, the team at Ashlyns couldn't do enough to make him feel at home. It was like he was a member of their family, and as his daughters, my sister and I felt it, too. My dad only stayed for about a month on respite, as he is keen to try and live independently at home for as long as he can, but when he left Ashlyns, he said that it was the place he would want to return to if and when the time came. I cannot tell you how much that means, as Dad has always been very reluctant to go into a care home. I can tell that he was moved by the support, care and kindness he received. A heartfelt thank you to all the team.

Such a lovely care home, my grandmother is so well cared for. Clean and light room. Staff are very welcoming and accommodating for requests, we recently held a 90th birthday party here. Thank you for all your support.

An outstanding caring and pleasant environment. Residents are treated with compassion, care and respect and the staff seem genuinely interested in treating each resident as an individual. We enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch with our friend served in a lovely environment.

My Mum received amazing care at Ashlyns, from the front-of-house team to the care staff themselves everyone was lovely and treated mum with warmth and the greatest respect. Mum has had to move to a nursing home now but I will always be grateful to the whole team for making tough times so much more manageable.

Since Mum moved into Ashlyns Care Home she has been cared for with kindness and great patience. There has been attention to detail and she has settled gradually which is a challenge at nearly 103! Well done.
30 September 2022
Feel well cared for by all the very helpful staff. My room is light and airy and I love the access to the courtyard and easy access to the dining room, lounge etc. Enjoy the musical events and outdoor excursions - not one for films though. Would like to have more conversations with residents as of course deafness and other ailments can be an obstacle sometimes.
30 September 2022
During every visit, we are greeted by kind, warm staff. My sister confirms that everyone is kind and caring towards her. My sister looks healthier than when she moved into Ashlyns and is obviously eating and hydrating properly and taking her meds as she should.

Very kind staff always when we visit. My sister-in-law always says how kind the staff are to all. She is very well looked after.
