This wonderful place really cares for their residents. Our dad could not have asked for better treatment whilst he being cared for by them. The whole team ensured that my dads last days were the best they could be. My sister and I cannot thank them enough for their care and compassion shown not only to my dad but to us too.

Athelstan House is a great home. There are activities every day from entertainers, to bingo, singing to baking, manicures to painting… always something different, something to enjoy and make the residents smile, making their day a little brighter. At Athelstan House the staff genuinely care. They take the time to get to know the residents, from how they take their tea, to their favourite item of clothing… it matters to the residents, so it matters to them! Rafal the chef deserves 5 stars for his cooking, all meals are prepared and served with care and pride. Dean, the manager as been there for 18 months and has had a big impacted. He secured funding for the heart of the home, so residents have a freshly decorated area, with comfortable chairs to relax and socialise together. The good news is… this is only the start… the team at Athelstan House have many more plans and idea on how they can make the home even better, and supported by the amazing volunteers, I’m sure this is something they will definitely achieve.

I love visiting Athelstan House. There is always a friendly welcome and the hustle and bustle of the home is great. Residents are always busy when I'm there, whether that's listening to an entertainer, enjoying the beautiful gardens, even visiting other homes for lunch. It's also good to see the events organised by the home team for people who might be looking for more information about care.
