  • Barchester Ashfields Care Home, Norwich
Situated in a semi-rural location in a friendly village in Norfolk, Ashfields is a purpose built home with a high standard of décor, spacious courtyard, pleasant gardens and modern facilities.

This home really does get the best of both worlds; plenty of local amenities yet within easy reach of the historic city of Norwich and the sea side town Great Yarmouth and its beautiful coastal resorts. They're also only 10 minutes from the famous Norfolk Broads.

The home provides first-class 24-hour residential care alongside expert care for people with dementia. They also provide care for those with a physical disability, while a team of highly-qualified and attentive staff really focuses on the individual needs of residents with a tailored care plan for each person.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially tracking down lost items.
David was happy and well looked after during his prolonged respite care. He enjoyed being taken out in the minibus to visit shops and garden centres.
Thank you to everyone involved in his care.

Mum was welcomed to Ashfields in November and seemed to settle well. She has enjoyed some activities and is no longer lonely she still asserts her independence but accepts help better than she did in her own flat.
Family and friends have been made to feel welcome and visit regularly, seeing her much
improved from previously. All the staff are approachable and caring and try hard to accomodate her wishes.

To all prospective residents, family and friends, may I say that Ashfields Care Home in Rackheath is a little gem. I hope that this review will assist you in a shortcut towards a place of care of your choosing. First on my list of recommendations is that good quality of care is displayed by regular
staff who provide consistency and familiarity they are very patient and treat all residents with dignity 10/10. The staff are flexible and work as a team with good management in a friendly environment. Ashfields is clean and secure with good facilities in a nice setting. The whole team are always helpful over any concerns that relatives may have and are proactive.

Hi, I have visited a couple of friends weekly in October and they find the care home excellent with most helpful staff. I too have found the staff all helpful and willing to help. As my married friends are fairly new residents it's reassuring that they have both settled in well. Excellent.

Review from V M (Wife of Resident) published on 1 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has had 2 weeks respite care at Ashfields. I looked at a number of homes before choosing this home, but were particularly impressed by the warmth and friendliness shown to us when we looked round.
All the staff, whatever their role, are dementia trained, and there is an atmosphere of calmness
and warmth at the home, and it is very well managed by the enthusiastic, friendly and very professional manager. Although the external appearance of the home is not so prepossessing, inside it is light and bright and well-maintained, with 2 lovely lounges and attractive dining room. There is a lovely garden and many cafes nearby for a family visit. But we were particularly impressed by the high standard of care and attentiveness to his needs,. There is a good range of activities and a very pro-active activities co-ordinator - she managed to persuade even my husband to join in at least some of them!

We looked at several care homes prior to choosing Ashfields, Overall the facilities, set up, and rooms are of a high level. The Staff were more than helpful and were the main reason for us to trust the care of my father with them, Dad has been with them for 3 months now and our initial worries have
abated. I would definitely recommend Ashfield care home to anyone in our situation,

I would recommend the Barchester Ashfields Care Home based on my experience this year with the care of my father who suffers from dementia and is no longer mobile. The caring staff are kind and attentive and they are also well organised. The management team is supportive and helpful with responding
to my questions and keeping in contact with me. Although my father is not yet able to enjoy all of the activities on offer he was pleased to sit in with a music session (visiting musician) last week and get his hair cut at the salon within the care home. The home is clean and well appointed, and the food is also very good. Overall, I think that the care home staff are doing a great job with residents that need patience and understanding and I am pleased that my father is in their care.

I'm extremely happy at the care my mum receives in Barchester Ashfields Care Home. The staff are lovely and very caring and meet Mum's needs with a smile. They are always there to discuss and queries you may have and nothing is too much trouble for them. A big plus for me is that Mum no longer feels
lonely. When in her own home, she forgot who she'd seen or talked to so felt very lonely. The company of others and the staff mean this is no longer an issue. I leave her knowing she is in good hands.

After a poor experience in another care home (two weeks), we moved my husband to Barchester Ashfields Care Home. We were thrilled from day one by the facilities, staff and extremely high level of care. Now, three months since my husband became a resident, we have been delighted by the high standards
in every part of his care. Staff go above and beyond expectations - the food/meals in beautifully presented restaurant are superb.
For us, his family, there is a sense of extreme relief that the one we love so much is now cared for so well.

My mum was in Barchester Ashfields Care Home with dementia. I can't recommend all the staff enough. That means all the staff including management, maintenance care team, chefs, as they went above and beyond their usual duties and helped us in every way they could.
The home itself is spotless and the

All in all lovely staff and home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.649)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.649) out of 10 for Barchester Ashfields Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.649 for Barchester Ashfields Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (283 Excellents x 5) + (115 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 410 Ratings = 4.649
  2. 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 Barchester Ashfields Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
