Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Asterbury Place care home.
The care he is receiving and the friendliness of the staff is amazing. They make us feel comfortable - dad is being well looked after.
Relative of a resident, August 2023It's a very friendly atmosphere… you always receive a warm welcome when you walk in from pretty much everyone you see, the receptionist, the care team, the kitchen staff… it's a pleasure to visit and the coffee shop is excellent… they make homemade cakes!
Relative of a resident, March 2024My relative is not able to verbalise herself well, but the staff seem to be totally in tune with her needs… they know exactly what she likes to do, what makes her happy or sad and how she is likely to respond to things. She is so well cared for that I finally have some peace of mind.
Relative of a resident, March 2024You can see how well the staff treat residents when you visit… they are very good to my loved one and I like the way they keep me informed about what is happening with her... I am never in the dark or wondering what is going on.
Relative of a resident, March 2024The staff are very caring and professional. The home is very clean and well maintained. There are lots of activities for the residents and the home shares these activities on Facebook so you are able to see your loved one take part. They address medical issues promptly and efficiently.
