My mother has been in the care home for around 15 months now. Our family now she that she is well cared for and loved by all the staff. There is a strong management team at the home all the staff are well trained, compassionate, friendly and have always kept our family updated on Mums health and wellbeing.
The home is always clean, rooms are always tidy. I would like to congratulate all staff for keeping all the residents as safe as possible during this awful Covid-19 pandemic. Well done. Excellent food choices.

Dads care is wonderful - can't fault it. He is very happy there and well looked after. All his needs are met, and the carers inform us of everything. During Covid, we had video calls from his carers to us, which made Dad happy.

Mom took a while to settle because she has always been independent. However, she now is settled and it helps that staff have taken the time to get to know her. Mom has a spacious room and it is good that she is able to sit outside on the patio. On the occasions when mom has been ill I'm kept fully informed.
Mom says the food is good.

From the first time we visited Ashbourne Care Home we found all of the staff to be very caring and most helpful. Their attention to detail is excellent. We found the home to be very clean and freshly decorated. We felt very reassured when we saw how well looked after our relative is. As a team, nothing
is too much trouble for the residents and for us as visitors. For anybody needing to place a relative into care, I would recommend a visit to Ashbourne Care Home to view the facilities and meet the staff.

What can I say about this care home except that it is absolutely wonderful. The staff go above and beyond and my mom has improved massively since going there. Their understanding of dealing with people with dementia is first class. Every single staff member is lovely and make you feel part of the extended
family. They do not rush you when you are visiting and answer all the questions you have without hesitation. Without the support of this wonderful home and its staff, I am not sure my mom would be here today. Thank you.

Wonderful care provided to my father during his time at Ashbourne. The staff are excellent with residents and family. They have been particularly excellent during lockdown with the things they have done to help Dad and us when we are missing visits. Although we visit regularly they still inform us and
keep us updated re doctor's visits. First class home.

We recommend Ashbourne Care Home to anyone wishing to ensure that their relatives are loved and cared for. We have always found that the staff are compassionate, caring and "go that extra mile" to ensure the residents are very well looked after. It has given us complete peace of mind and comfort to
know that our loved ones are receiving the best possible care. The home manager has always been very approachable, helpful and is always readily willing to go out of her way to assist. Both the manager and her team are doing a magnificent job, under extremely difficult and testing times.

My Dad has been at this care home for just over 2 years. The care he has received has been very good. After just a few months he was moved to a larger, more spacious room when one became available. The staff are attentive and resolve any issues or concerns immediately making sure to contact us and discuss.
Nothing has been too much trouble. Their Covid measures have been excellent. The staff have used their personal devices to ensure we could talk and FaceTime or Whatsapp with him. After a spell in hospital, the care he received was exceptional. I would recommend this home to others.

Since Mum has moved into Ashbourne Care Home she has had a new lease of life. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and the home is very well managed. As a family, we are always made welcome when we visit Mum. They have dealt with all the issues surrounding COVID-19 extremely well and made
sure that residents and families have been able to stay in contact without compromising the resident's safety. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashbourne Care Home.

Wonderful care provided by all the staff during these very challenging times. My mother required residential care following her discharge from hospital, during the lockdown. This was facilitated quickly and sympathetically by the Ashbourne team. Nothing was too much trouble for her carers and they had
endless patience. Mum particularly enjoyed the activities! Overall it was a positive experience for both my mother and her family.

I find the staff very caring and pleasant. They look after the residents really well but sometimes there are not enough of them, such as if there are people that need help to go to the toilet, they have to wait until someone is free. Old people can't wait! And more toilets are needed downstairs so they
don't have to queue.

Excellent care and understanding of my dad's needs. Always made welcome, I feel staff are my second family.
Although I visit every other day, I'm still informed if Dad is not well and what the doctor has said should he/she have to be called out.
I still have concerns on the level of staffing on the
dementia suite. In my opinion, two staff is just not enough to safely care for these most vulnerable and sometimes challenging residents.

My auntie was admitted to Ashbourne Care Home through social services due to unforeseeable tragic circumstances. It was an emergency placement. I had not had time to do preliminary checks with regards to the home so we were reliant on the good choice of the social worker.
I and my auntie could not
have wished for anywhere better. the support that my auntie, my wife and I received was priceless. At this most traumatic time in our lives, there were people who readily supported us. The manager was caring and professional which filtered down to all staff members. it was evident that staff were well trained in their various roles and all demonstrated a very caring attitude. Nothing was too much trouble, staff were patient, friendly and had the time to perform their caring skills. I had total confidence in the care delivered to my auntie.
Within a week, my auntie looked better than she had done in years. The environment was clean and fresh, something that was noticeable as soon as you walked through the door. The temperature throughout was warm and constant. Excellent place to be cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.188)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.188) out of 10 for Ashbourne Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.188 for Ashbourne Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (118 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (20 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.188

  • 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 Ashbourne Care Home is based on 13 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 13 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.
