Residents rate Chadderton care home as one of the top in North West

Ashgrove House Care in Chadderton has been chosen by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in the North West.

There are 1,799 homes in the North West with the top 20 receiving an award from the UK’s leading reviews guide to care homes, carehome.co.uk.

The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.

There are nearly 17,000 care homes in the UK caring for around half a million people.

Over 12,000 of these care homes support older people aged 65 and over, while the rest care for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues.

People are living longer, and with 19% of the total population in the UK aged 65 years or older, equating to 11 million people, demand for care homes is set to grow.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said: “We now have over 260,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk so we are able to give people a real insight into what a care home and its care staff are like.

"Our reviews reveal if the care home is value for money as well as the standard of its facilities and the quality of their care, activities and nutrition.

“Reviews of Ashgrove House Care show they provide an excellent standard of care and we would like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in the North West.

"It is such an achievement to be named as a top rated care home by the residents who actually receive the care as well as their family and friends.

“Choosing a care home can be emotionally and physically exhausting for both the person going to live there as well as their family, so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help make the search easier.”

Simon Sumner, director of Ashgrove House Care, said: “I am really proud of the team to have won this award, they go the extra mile in everything they do.

"We have always promoted a family atmosphere within the home and have received many compliments from relatives and visitors, there is always lots of laughter and fun with our residents and family members.

"Care homes have had a tough few years so this makes this award all the more special.

"Thank you Ashgrove team.”
