My relative is so happy at Ash Grove! Everyone is so friendly and caring. They always have enough time to help, either with my relative or with any enquiries I may have. The food looks delicious and the rooms are warm and cosy. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at Ash Grove and really appreciate
all that they do for my relative.

My Mum has been attending the Day Centre at Ash Grove since the summer. All the staff are friendly and welcoming. The day centre manager has gone out of her way to help my mum settle in and feel at home with patience and understanding. She has taken the time to find out what Mum likes doing in order
to provide much-needed activities and stimulation.

I have found this facility warm not only physically but emotionally too. Most interact with each other at all levels. As a visitor, I felt very welcome and part of a huge family.
I have not seen my dear dad so happy and relaxed for a long time, since living there, it has given him a second lease of
life.

My mother has been at Ash Grove for almost twelve months. All the staff are warm and friendly and when we visit nothing is too much trouble, even on the few occasions when we have arrived unannounced. She is looked after with respect and kindness and the staff are also very supportive to us as it
has been a difficult time. She likes all the staff and they are very patient with her and they are very caring.

The home appears very homely. Staff are attentive and welcoming during visits. The team facilitated a room move after the client had shown preference to a different room - very person-centred. The staff appear to enjoy time with clients in communal areas. Lots of laughing could be heard.

Although this care home has a CQC rating of good when it should be excellent. There have been no cases of covid19, amongst the residents or the staff. The management and care assistants are all first-class and can take great pride in all they do. My mother always talks very highly of all the staff,
which of course, makes me very happy. Thank you very much for looking after Mum.

Words seem inadequate to explain the excellent level of care and attention that was given to my mother in her last few years at Ash Grove. The home has a warm, friendly atmosphere and all the staff are very attentive to all the residents. I had no doubts leaving my mother in their safe hands, she was
always treated as an individual and with respect and was looked after with such kindness. She was never forced to do anything she didn't want to but would be gently encouraged when needed. During my mother's last few weeks, the staff went beyond their duty of care and were always there when required without encroaching on the family personal time. Having spent many hours with my mother during her last few days, I witnessed first hand how the staff perform and I have nothing but praise for the way they look after all the residents (and their families when they visit).

The management are very helpful, friendly and supportive. The carers are very good with the residents and treat them with respect and dignity, they also have patience with them and kindness. There are always different activities for the residents to stimulate them. The home is always clean and tidy.
The maintenance is very good with improvements and repairs going on most of the time.

She is, generally, very happy here. The happiest since the onset of dementia.

My brother in law spent his last few weeks at Ash Grove Care Home. We found the home clean and welcoming. The decor was pleasing.
It was heartwarming and put our minds at rest to see the care, love and support the staff gave him at this time. I can't thank them enough for their kindness and cheerfulness.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.299)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.299) out of 10 for Ash Grove Care Home - Specialise Dementia is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.966 for Ash Grove Care Home - Specialise Dementia is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 58 Ratings = 4.966

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.333 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ash Grove Care Home - Specialise Dementia is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.833

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
