My mother has been at Ashley Court for almost 2 1/2 years. In that time, although her dementia has slightly deteriorated, her attitude has improved considerably. This is totally due to the care and attention she receives on a daily basis. She herself says she is contented, there is plenty going on and
the staff are lovely. I couldn't agree more. The stimulus provided by the entertainment member of staff is excellent. After visiting my mother regularly I always leave knowing that she is in the very best of care.

A short term stay whilst care package in place for home discharge.
First impression: greeted by friendly and helpful staff. They made mum feel at home and brought out her fun character which she enjoyed. She had been struggling with appetite in hospital but really enjoyed the food - which I'm sure
she will miss!
Everyone was really good to her during her stay. Didn't get to use the lounge or dining room as she was on oxygen in her room and wasn't there long enough to obtain a portable tank. The room was large with all she needed but could do with a bit of TLC - furniture bit shabby. Although - it's the care that's important and we were very happy with this.

My aunt was a resident of Ashley Court from August 2016 until her death in February 2017. She told me she liked the home and was very happy with the entertainment and the food had a lovely flavour.
As I live in Canada, I mostly talked to her by phone. Other than the pain she was in, she was happy.
When she was in her last days, the manager at the home took all my phone calls and kept me informed on her condition.

I am writing this review with regard to my friend who resided at Ashley Court from August 2016 until February 2017 when she sadly passed away. The staff couldn't have made her feel more at home when she moved there from Finedon. I know my friend was very worried but they made her feel at ease and very
welcome. The staff were very kind and helpful to her and as her friend, I am very grateful to them for their care and support.

Ashley Court is a very welcoming place with pleasant and friendly staff. Since mum has been there she has settled in well, is looking and eating better and starting to socialise. Everyone we have met has been helpful and kind to both Mum and her family. It is very reassuring to know that she is being
well looked after in clean, comfortable and sympathetic surroundings.

Cameras or more staff available for the residents in the day room would be a good idea. My grandma is very happy and settled in Ashley Court, she is always smiling and the staff seem to really care. A bigger room for hairdressing would be helpful.

I find the staff very helpful and caring. They are very supportive and have got to know my Mum so well. The home is being decorated at the moment, but they could do with another lift! The open door policy is excellent and I have always been able to ask questions and talk to someone when needed. Above
all, the staff care and are kind!!! I think the rooms would be better with their own wet rooms, but I am looking forward to seeing the new upgraded home.

I am delighted with the care my father receives at Ashley Court. All the staff are wonderful and treat him with good humour and respect no matter what mood he's in. The home is kept spotlessly clean and the meals are amazing. The activities and entertainment are very good and everyone is encouraged
to join in; including visitors. Birthdays are made very special.

My mother has been here at Ashley Court from 2011, so 5 years. Her room is always clean, and the staff make sure that she has drinks. When the family come and visit, always made welcome. Mum has improved and her fluid and food intake are improved also.

Mum became a resident in Oct 2014 and from the start of her time at the home, enjoyed her stay. She was always cheerful and happy and even though she had Dementia, I honestly believe that in 18 months, she had not deteriorated much at all and had stayed remarkably stable, helped I am sure, by activity
and by the friendly staff and other residents. She particularly enjoyed music, especially if she could join in with the sing - songs. The family enjoyed these events as well and it was great to see that she could remember more of the words from the lyrics than we could!
Mum took a turn for the worse recently and on Saturday after a difficult couple of days, she slipped away very peacefully, surrounded by the family. The staff, as usual, were fantastically caring and made a difficult time more bearable.
I do not want to mention anyone individually, because they all do a difficult job really well, but thanks to the Manager and her team; you are all wonderful!

Reply from Jacqui Marks, Manager at Ashley Court

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.
