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

“Reviews of Ashfields Care Home show they provide a high standard of care and we would like to congratulate them on being a Top 20 care home in the East Midlands.

It is such a big 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.
