Review from Frances M (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel more positive regarding my father staying in this home, although very ill, he responds to carers and that's a great feeling for me. The home is clean, tidy and always a good atmosphere which is obviously down to happy staff being able to work together on a daily basis, where would we be without
these angels (carers and other staff)? I only have praise and thanks to all concerned. So all I can say now is thank you.

Very happy with the home, my Grandmother has been a resident since 2008 and is looked after very well by staff who are always there to help, always happy and very caring attitudes. The room and home always seem clean and tidy and in a very good decorative order.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff looking after dad are friendly, attentive and are easy to talk to regarding dads care. The home is clean and tidy and any requirements are dealt with quite quickly. We are pleased that dad has settled in and seems to have a few friends. If relatives are unsure where to place there loved ones,
this is a home to be recommended.

After visiting a few care homes, this was definitely the best one, thank you for looking after my Father
My Father has very complex needs and the staff always work hard to accommodate his needs. I feel I can approach staff at anytime. My father is not the easiest person to look after, the staff always
try there best.

Ashbury Lodge staff and management helped my dad through a very difficult time. Staff took time to understand his dementia, personal wishes and interests. Care and compassion throughout. I had total peace of mind that dad was safe and well.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.615)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.615) out of 10 for Ashbury Lodge 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.615 for Ashbury Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.615
  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 Ashbury Lodge is based on 16 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 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
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 16 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.

Maria Pryor

Job Title: Administrator Joined: 2019

I am usually the first face to visitors/ professionals who come to the home. My role is to support one manager and one deputy and deal with all the administration work for both the residents and staff in the home.


I enjoy my job as it's varied but extremely busy, staff are always willing to help out cover shifts when I ask, so the home is run effectively. When I have time, I enjoy getting involved with the residents’ activities and seeing how much they get from what we do for them.
