My nans time at Ashley Grange was short but sweet, but our overall experience was excellent.
They treated my Nan with dignity, respect and made continuous effort with her until her passing.
Knowing Nan was in a place where the care staff clearly care about their residents and their families was a great comfort to us and we will always be grateful.
I would highly recommend Ashley Grange. Thank-you for making my Nans last few weeks comfortable and dignified.

My wife was with you for 1 year, during that time she was well loved by all the staff. The manager – assistant manager every one of the nursing staff every one of the carers were so loving and caring. In the one year my wife was with you she was always made to feel it was her home and she felt loved by all the staff. I would recommend Ashley Grange to anyone and I thank you for everything. I forgot to mention the lovely reception staff and the kitchen staff who make such lovely food.

Husband of Resident

I would just like to express my thoughts on the care my mother received at Ashley Grange, during her recent respite care whilst my father was in hospital. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and all the staff that l had contact with over my mum’s seven-week stay were lovely. They were all very professional, caring and attentive. The most important thing was that Mum who has Dementia seemed happy and stimulated thanks to the regular activities provided by the staff. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of visiting Mum and talking to her newfound friends who also seemed very happy at Ashley Grange.
