What people say about Ash Lodge

Highlighting top-rated reviews
StarStarStarStarStar

A really caring environment with very helpful and professional staff. Our relative was receiving palliative care and he was so well looked after throughout his 12 days. Any request for information or explanation of treatment being offered was promptly dealt with. The quality of care provided during a very difficult period for our family made it easier for us to cope. The empathy and caring we witnessed as a family as well as the positive comments of friends and neighbours who also visted confirmed how amazingly well he was cared for. Staff were friendly whenever we visited. We could not have asked for a kinder manner from the staff especially towards the end when our relative passed away. A very professional team who work tirelessly to look after everyone in their care. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

It's confusing to see that the 1 star reviews are still flowing through despite the fact that the police investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing. The team at Ash Lodge are exceptional, combining professionalism with genuine care. They went above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of all the residents and this was evident from every time I visited to see my uncle. The facility itself is pristine, fostering a peaceful ambiance where each room feels like a home. The activities and social programs offered are diverse and engaging, promoting a strong sense of community and belonging. Communication with the staff has been exceptional, keeping families informed and involved throughout. 5/5* from me, book a visit and see for yourselves.

My late husband was in Ash Lodge Care Home with Nursing for almost three months. I was very pleased with how well he was looked after during that time. The standard of care that he received was excellent, with all of his needs well met by the very caring staff. I always felt at home when visiting him as there was a pleasant atmosphere and the staff were friendly. I was able to speak to the relevant staff member about aspects of his care when I needed to. They were always very helpful. His meals were tailored to suit his needs, which were quite complex. His room and the whole Home were always kept fresh and clean. I'm very thankful that my husband was able to spend his last days at Ash Lodge.
