An excellent care home where the staff are the most caring, patient people I have ever met.


They provide a safe environment where we know that all of my mother-in-law's needs are attended to.


We thank all of them.

As my parent has hearing and slight problems it is difficult to be included in group activities. One to one conversations help to keep her ticking over. Staff are approachable and helpful and engage with her.

I only needed my husband to go for a few days to give me some respite and thought the inside of the home drab and dreary. But we were greeted by welcoming, smiling faces wherever we turned. The atmosphere was one of contentment and acceptance of everyone's weaknesses. The staff all willingly undertook
the most undesirable tasks quickly and efficiently. I was content to leave him there and felt I could learn a lot about tolerance.

This care home has a warm and friendly staff who are very kind, cheerful and helpful. The food is reasonable and plenty of meals provided with help given to ensure residents do eat. The surroundings are a little basic but the residents do not seem to notice that.

My father went to Ashley Court for respite care. My mother was very concerned about how he would respond to this but we need not have worried as the kind, friendly, caring staff made sure he was comfortable and welcome. He was very happy throughout his stay.

My grandfather seems to have settled well. The carers have gone out of their way to incorporate his routine at home into his new life at Ashley Court. Any issues we have had have been dealt with satisfactorily and immediately. He is always clean, well dressed and shaved regularly. Ashley Court has given
him much of his dignity back.

After a long a spell in hospital, I was informed that my Husband needed a care home. He was discharged to a 'home' but too far for me to access. Ashley Court is nearer and I know that he is being well looked after. So far I have no complaints and I visit on different days and times. Whatever the time
my Husband is clean and well clothed. The Manager is always friendly and I can ask her anything and she answers and helps in so many ways.
I would recommend the home and hope that any person would agree with me!!

Dad spent 3 months in hospital and on discharge, we had 48hours to find a care home and the only availability was one in Desborough. Thankfully after 3 weeks, a room became available at Ashley Court and what a blessing. We love the care and attention dad is receiving and it's nice to see him finally
settled.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.673)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.673) out of 10 for Ashley Court 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 13 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 4.673 for Ashley Court is calculated as follows: ( (113 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.673

  • 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 Ashley Court 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.

Jacqui Marks

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2014

I began my journey at Ashley Court in 2014 as Deputy Manager, and in 2016, I was honoured to become the Registered Manager. But my path in care started much earlier—when I was just 17 years old. From the very beginning, I knew that caring for others wasn’t just a job for me; it was a calling.


Over the years, I’ve grown both personally and professionally. I’ve gained my NVQ Level 2, 3, and 5 in Health and Social Care, but more importantly, I’ve gained years of experience, countless memories, and a deep understanding of what it truly means to be there for someone—especially when they need it most.


Being a manager is not without its challenges, but it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I’m so proud to lead a team of kind, dedicated individuals who give their all every day. And what means the most to me is that, despite my responsibilities, I still get to be close to our residents—listening to their stories, sharing in their laughter, offering comfort in difficult times.


There’s something truly special about being able to make someone feel safe, heard, and cared for. That’s what fills my heart and keeps me going. I feel incredibly lucky to do what I love, surrounded by people who inspire me every single day.

Katalin Varine Csizik

Job Title: Head of Care

Joined: 2014

I began my journey at Ashley Court in 2014 as a care assistant. With my previous experience, I quickly embraced the role of senior care assistant, working closely with residents to ensure they received the compassionate, personalized care they deserved. To further develop my skills, I earned my NVQ Level 4 in Health and Social Care


In 2018, I was promoted to deputy manager, a role that allowed me to combine hands-on care with broader leadership responsibilities. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of balancing administrative tasks with the genuine, everyday interactions that define our residents. It was a period of significant growth, both for myself and for the team I was proud to support.


Recently, I made the decision to step down from my deputy manager position to become the Head of Care. This change wasn’t about stepping away from leadership; rather, it was about reconnecting with what truly brings me joy—being directly involved in care. I wanted more time to focus on helping our residents enjoy a high quality of life, with compassion and respect as the cornerstones of every interaction.


I am incredibly proud to be part of Ashley Court, where each day offers the opportunity to touch lives, share smiles, and build a nurturing environment for our residents. It is an honour to work in a place that feels like home for so many, and I am excited to continue making a positive impact with every step I take.

Vidhushi Liyanage

Job Title: Head chef

Joined: 2021

I was born and raised in Sri Lanka, where I worked as a professional actress & voice artist. Performing was my passion and identity. But when I moved to the UK, everything changed.


Looking for part-time work, I applied for a Kitchen Assistant role at Ashley Court in 2021. One day, when the chef called in sick, I was asked to step in. Watching the residents enjoy the meal I’d prepared sparked something in me — the same joy I once felt on stage. I realised food, like art, can touch hearts.


That day, I found a new stage — the kitchen.


I spoke with my manager, Jacqui, and asked if she would consider me for the role of Second Chef. With her support, I stepped into the role just six months after joining, and I threw myself into learning. I earned my Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety for Catering, as well as my Level 2 HACCP for Catering qualification.


In 2022, I became the Chef at Ashley Court and Head Chef in 2024. Cooking is my passion, and I put love, care, and intention into every meal I prepare to bring comfort to our residents. Watching them enjoy the food I create gives me a sense of peace and purpose that words cannot fully express.


Ashley Court isn’t just where I work — it’s where I found myself again. This is more than a job to me. It’s where my heart belongs, and I would happily do it for the rest of my life.

Tina Smith

Job Title: Activity Co-ordinator

Joined: 2018

I was inspired to become an activity coordinator while working as a chef in another care home. I never expected to be given this opportunity, as being a chef was all I knew. A friend recommended me to the manager, and I've never looked back since. I started at Ashley Court in November 2018 and began my NAPA activity training in February 2019.


This job is incredibly rewarding on an emotional level. I have the privilege of providing activities and entertainment that residents might be missing out on. It’s amazing to see them happy, smiling, laughing, and having fun. I also find it fulfilling to help new residents settle into their new home, offering support as they cope with fear and anxiety while making new friends.


Now that I have been in this role for so long, I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
