“Myself and my husband are always treated with kindness and respect by all staff members.
I am kept informed of any changes and any ongoing health concerns are dealt with promptly and professionally. This also includes any other issues I may have.
My husband has been resident in the home for almost 7 years and I am indebted to the whole team for the care my husband has and continues to receive. Thank you.”

“My wife has been in Ashgate House Care Home for 15 months.
The team of staff are well led.
All staff care for the patients and give a great deal of care and love.
Patients, irrespective stage of illness, are given personal care and attention
Very impressed with the support staff”

“My Aunt is very happy here. The carers are very patient and kind, a good mix of young and maturer care workers. The management, clinical, domestic and admin staff all engage with the residents too. The entertainment lady Sue, is particularly friendly and always willing to assist with any task around the home, even those outside of her remit. Considering the majority of residents are dementia patients the bedrooms are homely and not at all clinical. Many other care homes state they offer dementia care but, Ashgate House truly does with skill and compassion.”
