"My mum was needing a home and I was told about this care home. From the first time I stepped into the home it made me, my mum and brother very welcome, comfortable and just like home from home - it's fantastic staff and everything about it."

"My dad has been in Ashford House for about 8/9 months now and I can honestly say, there has been so much improvement in him and his health. He tells me he is happy and well looked after. The staff here do an amazing job and look after Dad and others very well. You can see that residents are happy in their home and are being well cared for. The level of care, cleanliness, laundry, cooking and activities is well run and could only be improved if there were more staff to make that happen. I would recommend this care home to all families who have a family member who has Dementia as the care they supply is much better than what you can do at home, as it is 24 hours and you know your family member is being looked after at the highest level."

"At a very difficult time for everyone and Mum not wanting to go into care support from the whole team was excellent. Any problems that did arise were handled carefully with as little trouble to Mum. As for value for money, that's an issue the government should be looking at. It's a very unfair society. Working hard all of your life and then not being supported is a major issue."

"The sole problem is shortage of staff, from care assistants, kitchen staff, cleaners and maintenance. The staff there do the best job they can but, inevitable, often the quality of care is compromised! Again, I emphasise, the staff and management) do an excellent job within the constraints of their staff shortages. So well done Ashford House!"

"Dad had Alzheimers and had gone from living independently in February 2017 to being unable to feed or dress himself by June 2017. He had been in hosptial from Feb - June and it was traumatic to see him deteriorate. While at Barchester, he has begun to improve, to gain weight and was always calm and happy. This was due to the care and considerate attention he received. It was clear that he was always treated with respect and staff patiently engaged with him and encouraged him to eat. He was always clean and clearly well cared for."

"Since my 97-year-old Mother-in-Law had been under the care of Barchester Ashford house since October 2017 we as a family are extremely pleased with the standard of her care. Therefore, despite her ways and mannerisms and difficulties, we have observed, on our visits, how the carers have gone the extra mile to see her needs and to care for her in a meaningful way. We could not be happier."

"On first visiting the home we felt not only welcome but impressed with the knowledge of all the staff and how friendly they all were, plus the big thing the home did not smell of urine or bleach. The room dad stayed in was furnished lovely and always warm and clean. The lady who does the events was extremely good with dad and helpful, always a smile on her face. As one special carer always so caring and supportive to both dad and the rest of the family. The food was always hot and looked well presented and tasted lovely even though dad had to leave."

"My Mother is receiving excellent care, all staff and facilities are of a high standard. Housekeeping is also excellent along with the meals provided. My Mother has health issues but with the care she receives she is happy and her health is maintained."

"Our mother was moved to Ashford House from another home. Ashford House was superior on every level - care, environment, facilities and administration. There was a friendly, open and honest way to how our mother was welcomed and settled in that was contrasted starkly with the self-protective caution of the other home. Excellent care!"

"A really lovely home, good carers who show a great amount of dedication very helpful and always willing to listen to any worries/concern's we may have. Food is lovely and a varied menu. A new activities lady has joined the team so I would love to see more activities being offered. Also to use the garden more in the summer months. Overall, really happy with this lovely home."

"The staff are mostly very helpful, however sometimes if maybe we have more staff it would be more beneficial to the service user. I could not complain about overall care being given to my husband. The food is great, the home is clean, not smelling. The domestics are doing a good job. The management is supportive to me. The home manager is outstanding, she is very good."

"We have noticed a big change in my nanny since she has been at this home, she is happier, more content, well looked after and fed, she has always got food on her table and as a grazer this is fantastic, she always smells clean along with the room, she is even managing to put weight on. Staff and the nurses are fantastic and patient with her when it is time for her medication."

"I visited Ashford House on their most recent open day. As I came through the doors of the first floor I was greeted by laughter music and happiness. All the residents were gathered together in the main lounge all having a wonderful time. What really struck me was in amongst the dancing and laughing residents was the activities staff having a good time too! From an outsider's point of view, I feel they couldn't create the compassion and love they demonstrated for the residents in that moment and it gave me an enormous sense of relief to know people that genuinely care were here supporting someone I loved, with love. I was welcomed immediately to join in the party by a wonderful smiley lady called who followed on to ask if there was anything she could do to help me on my visit and directed me to my loved one's room. As a first impression of the home, it couldn't have been better! I very much look forward to coming to the next party at Ashford House."

"Staff are very caring and helpful. Sometimes can be short staffed and all the staff work very hard. I feel that entertainment should be more often in the afternoon as it is currently only on Wednesday afternoon, therefore that leaves six days without entertainment. They all need different activities as it can be a very long day for the staff and residents."

"The whole standard of care, cleanliness and dignity was excellent. The staff were always available to help and advise us throughout my fathers stay. I was always kept informed about any health issues that arose day or night. My father was always given respect and empathy throughout his time there. All the staff including cleaners and laundry staff were always extremely cheerful and polite. I congratulate all the staff at Ashford House and I would never hesitate in recommending this wonderful home. It made my whole family's lives so much easier, I was so confident about his whole stay."
