I am happy here.
I love the atmosphere.
The team are very helpful and polite. They have great food. I feel included. All the team treat me very well.
I could not ask for anything better.
I am overwhelmed with the love and care my mum is receiving here.
Abbot Care Home has made such an absolute difference to her life and ours. Thank you for all the love care and compassion you are showing for my mum. Thank you also goes to the entertainment team who constantly bring a big smile to my dear mum's lovely face. The compassion every single person shows in Abbot Care Home is a reminder of how society should be.
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
We always treat people with respect, dignity and compassion, ensuring we find out about each individual’s preferences and life history. We have replaced written care plans with an up-to-date electronic system that brings together all documentation in one place. This allows us to easily track each person’s needs and offer a more personalised approach to their care and support.
Therapy plays an important role in the ongoing wellbeing of the people who live here, so we regularly welcome therapy dogs into the home! We also hold our Namaste programme, which focusses on stimulating the senses, and promoting meaningful engagement and comfort. This is particularly beneficial to people who live with dementia.
