5-Star Reviews: What to Look For (3/20) – Care Home Reviews

Choosing a care home for a loved one can feel overwhelming. At Ashton Care, we recommend looking beyond 5-star care home ratings and reading reviews for real detail: what the family needed, how staff supported them and what changed day to day. Then visit, ask direct questions and check the experience matches what you’ve read.

Down the rabbit hole we went! 🐰✨
We celebrated Lewis Carroll's birthday and National Puzzle Day in proper Mad Hatter style at Abbot's Lawn. Puzzles, tea parties, and plenty of silliness – because life's too short for boring afternoons!
Our residents showed off their puzzle-solving skills while we served up some wonderland-worthy fun. No riddles required, just good company, laughter, and a whole lot of whimsy.
Who else loves a good puzzle? Drop a 🧩 if you're team riddles or team tea parties!

A day of history and culture with our residents! 🏛️
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful visit to historic Chichester Cathedral, explored the museum, and shared lunch together. Walking through centuries of stories, discovering the past, and creating memories in the present.
Life is about these moments – connection, curiosity, and good company.

There's nothing quite like a seaside day with friends. Our residents had the most wonderful time in Brighton, sharing laughs and fish & chips. Because quality of life isn't just about care – it's about living, laughing and making memories together.

A shared hug can turn an ordinary moment into something meaningful. From smiles in the lounge to gentle check-ins throughout the day, it’s the little acts of kindness that make our home feel like family.

Cold, windy, no problem! 🚌☀️

A mixed bus day brought everyone together for a change of scene, plenty of laughs and that feel-good boost you only get from getting out, staying active and enjoying good company.
These moments matter because they support connection, confidence and overall quality of life.
