Astonleigh has an extremely friendly feel to the home. When we decided Mum could no longer live independently we looked at several other homes. Astonleigh was well above the standard of the others we saw. Mum has settled in well at Astonleigh and we are as a family so pleased with the care she receives,
the room and the facilities available. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for quality care for their loved one.

My mother was in hospital then was transferred to this home as she needed 24-hour care. It was done professionally but it did take quite a while.

I went in for a weeks respite and found I liked everything about the home. I will definitely come back for more respite or perhaps as a permanent resident. I would find nothing to complain about.

My mother in law resided at Ashtonleigh from Easter 2017 until August 2017, as she had a degree of dementia and was not coping at home being looked after by her disabled son and ourselves.
We were very happy with all the care she received during this time. We were kept informed of everything that
was happening with her and even with her stay in the hospital, Ashtonleigh also rang to find out how she was, which proves how caring they are. All the staff that work here are very approachable and if we had any questions they were always answered in detail.
Having my mother in law here certainly took the pressure off my disabled brother in law and also ourselves. Sadly she has now died but we would not hesitate to recommend this care setting here at Ashtonleigh to anyone who asks us.

A very bright, cheerful environment in which most of the residents seem very content. Visitors are warmly welcomed whenever they arrive. The residents comment on the quality of the food, which is always good and relatives can join them at meal times.


The attentiveness and care of the staff is

excellent with nothing being too much trouble and there are activities in the lounge to stimulate those who wish to participate. I always enjoy my visits as it is such a happy place to be.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

A mediocre home of the low to middle distinction. The level of care varies, depending on the quality of daily supervision of each shift. Issues became evident within the first few days that the patient would not receive an acceptable level of personal care. After 2 months, although improved with the
settling in period, the care is still not equal to common practice standards in many practical common sense details. It is also evident that the level of care would not increase with additional cost to the client. In essence, you get what you pay for. Recent renovations to the reception area have improved the appearance of the home. Food served is of a good homely standard and the quantity is sufficient. Staff are kind and have listened to issues raised but the recurrence of some issues become frustrating, which is evident of a lack of reporting these to each shift. The current CQC Report is over 2 years old and a more recent report would undoubtedly raise the standard of the organisation.

This is a five star residential home in relation to the care and empathy shown by every member of the devoted staff. Their kindness, devotion and professionalism are apparent at all times. The accommodation has/is being updated and improved to a good standard. My mother always appears happy and clean,
well fed and attended to. I would recommend this care home to anyone who needs a loving warm environment for their relatives with the medical attention their loved one requires.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Ashtonleigh is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.741 for Ashtonleigh is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.741

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashtonleigh is based on 19 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
