My mum stayed for respite care for five weeks. She was looked after so well, and it was what she needed. The staff were wonderful, and the entertainment manager made sure she kept the residents busy with all the quizzes and games they played on a daily basis.

I would recommend this home very highly. Mum and my stepdad went into Alston House for respite care. At all times they were treated with respect and treated with exceptional care. Mum was very anxious on her arrival but within a short time, her confidence and mobility improved greatly which was lovely to see. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and you soon become part of the Alston House family from residents to their families. This is a beautiful home with good food, lots of activities and great caring staff.

From the moment we were shown around by the manager, we knew this was the right place for Mum. All of the staff from the office, to nurses, homemakers, lifestyle and well being coaches and chefs are friendly, caring and approachable. Staff are always available if you need to talk to them.
There is a good sense of humour about the place. Mum is happy, feels safe and is joining in with activities and making friends. There are varied activities from Scrabble, knitting, film afternoons, performances by singers and visits from a therapy dog, exotic animals and miniature ponies. There's encouragement but no pressure to join in. There are lots of opportunities for friends and relatives to join in with tea parties and Mum's sister has joined her on several occasions to have lunch together in the dining room. It's easy to visit. Just turn up and sign in at the office. We are kept regularly informed about Mum's well-being. Mum's been able to bring some of her own furniture to make her room feel more personal.
