Our stories

Peace of mind

Moving into a care home can be daunting

Rest assured, our care team are here to make sure that making the move is as easy as possible for you and your loved one. If you still need reassurance, here are some stories from our residents, their families and our care team.

We have been hosting dinner parties at Ashmead. It's a very relaxing setting with music in the background. The people who live at Ashmead enjoy having lunch together and choosing their own menu beforehand but most of all they enjoy chatting and sharing memories and stories together.
