Thank you also goes to the entertainment team who constantly bring a big smile to my dear mum's lovely face.

I've seen such a change in her.
I honestly feel like Ashlyn Care Home has saved my mum's life.
She has put on weight thanks to the great food and regular meals which she didn't do for herself at home. Her mental health has improved thanks to regular stimulation from the chats with the team and the events the home plans. She wasn't keen to go into a home to start, but now she has a new lease of life and is very happy being part of the Ashlyn family. All the team we meet are friendly and helpful and were great with advice for me when my mum first arrived. I really can't thank them all enough they do an amazing job despite it being very challenging at times.

Living with us and our approach
At Sherrell House, we support people to maintain their existing interests, routines, and hobbies - as well as developing new ones too! This helps create a real sense of belonging and promotes movement, sociability and cognitive ability.
We offer various holistic therapies to improve peace of mind and wellbeing. These are particularly beneficial for people who are living with dementia. For example, our sensory room is a relaxing and calm haven which helps to stimulate the senses. We also arrange regular visits from animals, who always bring joy, comfort and companionship!
