Review from Barbara T (Sister of Resident) published on 29 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Brother moved into Ashdown following a stroke which we thought would be a struggle for him as he had lived on his own completely independent. He loves it, he is very happy there, and has a superb relationship with all the carers. Some family live away and are always able to see how he is through
the many photos and videos put onto social with the many activities taking place. The manager is a joy and always accessible to chat with about anything, and is always seen really involved with all staff and residents. I always feel welcome when I visit with a lovely cup of tea. What a fabulous job they all do, thank you everyone.

My mother came to live here. She struggled at home and couldn't manage herself. She was very reluctant to go into a care setting. She settled very well and made friends quickly. The staff have been amazing. I can't visit often as don't live near. But i have no concerns as i know she is looked after
amazingly. Would highly recommend

Review from Colin C (Son of Resident) published on 16 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following a period of high staff turnover and fairly average care quality the new management team have driven a spectacular improvement and set themselves high standards to ensure this is maintained.
The communication channels have been vastly improved with feedback from relatives positively encouraged.
Issues are dealt with swiftly and with due consideration of service user needs. Staffing levels have improved to become a stable working team, allowing users to really get to know their carers.
The actual 'bricks and mortar' facilities are not 5-star but are effectively utilised and constantly improving.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.398)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.398) out of 10 for Ashdown House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.898 for Ashdown House is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.898
  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 4.5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashdown House 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:

    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 = 3.5
    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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 5 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.
